ahhhhh malaki ang chance ni dela hoya.....

It was on the news for quite a while now, the negotiation for the much anticipated bout between Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and Oscar “The Golden Boy” Dela Hoya passed on the normal hurdles prior to its inking.

The biggest hurdle was, of course, how much each of this fighters will bring home. Dela Hoya’s camp initially offered a 70-30 cut, which was too low according to Pacman’s nego team as lead by Bob Arum, they made a counter offer of 60-40. The negotiations was stalled for quite a while until the Golden Boy Production announced a 67-33 pay cut offer, then 2 days ago, the announcement was made, Pacman will face Dela Hoya in the middle of the ring at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas on December 6, 2008.

As far as I know, nothing (yet) was made public on how much each of them will pocket after this bout.

Some are fearful on this latest move from Manny, Dela Hoya is a more experienced fighter, much heavier & stronger. His record stands at 39 wins, 5 loses with 30 wins by the way of knock-out, Pacquiao however has 47 wins, 3 loses, 2 draws and 35 KO victories under his belt.

My take, this will be a battle of power, and speed, it will also about pride considering how many Mexicans bowed to Manny’s fist. Manny has the speed (I hope he’ll still have it after gaining some weight), Dela Hoya is a stronger fighter. Manny would want to keep on destroying the Mexicans while The Golden Boy would avenge his fellow Mexicans who bowed on Manny’s fist.

So mark your calendar, this will be one hell of a bout.
