Manny Pacquiao has decided to stay at lightweight and defend his WBC 135-lb crown after turning down an offer by Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) for a Dec. 6 fight in Las Vegas, lawyer Franklin Gacal said in a statement released early Thursday morning. "I have been informed that Oscar De La Hoya is firm with the 70-30 revenue sharing and won't budge in to the 60-40 split we have counter-offered. I find the offer of GBP unconscionable hence unacceptable. It would have been an honor to fight De La Hoya on his last fight capping a very illustrious boxing career but under the circumstances, the option left is to move on. I have already made specific instructions to my lawyer to start negotiating with Bob Arum for my next fight with any possible opponent at 135 lbs," said Pacquiao. Gacal said what Pacquiao wanted was a fair share of the mega fight and apparently, Oscar De La Hoya is making an offer that he knows is unacceptable," Gacal told fightnews.com.It is certain that Pacquiao will face Humberto Soto of Mexico sometime in November in Las Vegas.

Nice, so who's left?????? lol
business wise, good move. oscar will now prolly go with the 60-40 and the fight will go forth.
you think so , 2501?
i'm kinda looking forward to a soto fight.........
business wise, good move. oscar will now prolly go with the 60-40 and the fight will go forth.
That's what I'm thinking too. 60% against Pac is probably more money than 70% against almost anyone else, and safer too. Maybe they'll compromise at 65/35.
De La Hoya doesn't have to fight Tony.. He doesn't have to fight anybody at this point.. matter of fact, he should just retire!
seriously, he really doesnt have to fight anyone, or do anything, at this point hes in it for the money, and all the fighters hes fought over the years, in no way would i view him as a coward.
haha, yeah I can send you the tito one I think later after the work, the other fights are tough to find!!
Dude, I'm sketching out man. I need gifs to occupy my time. Do you happen to have copies of the Bowe-Holyfield ones you made? I seem to have...deleted them on accident.

Hey Natas, I have a fever, and the only cure for it is more gifs!!!!
Bro, can you just shoot me one gif man, I'm going through withdrawals over here!
LOL, THATS FUCKIN AWESOME!!!
Sorry Oscar, you have no other choice but to fight:

Damn, talk about crapping out.
70-20 huh? so uh, who gets the other 10%?
Its because thats how the UFC and Dana White do it because Dana White just got a tan and he's looking handsome. This according to his contact at Ticketmaster and the MGM Grande. Manny Pac is black.
JUST FUCKIN WITCHO DOM!!!!!!!!!
business wise, good move. oscar will now prolly go with the 60-40 and the fight will go forth.
I can see this moving forward and it being a 60-40 split...But if not.....Lefty

Expect for this article to be posted up on this site in like a week, as usual.
sick, Soto vs Pacquiao should be sweet....now maybe we can see a Hatton vs Pacquiao later down the line to.
It will be good for all the Pinoy fans because a lot of the Mexicans say Pacquiao ducked Soto.
