In a shocking revelation, Oscar De La Hoya, whose promotional outfit represents Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the negotiations to stage a November 13 fight with Manny Pacquiao, told the Spanish TV station Univision that the superfight is close to being done.
"Up until now, it’s been a very difficult negotiation process for various reasons but right now we’re very close,” De La Hoya said in Spanish and translated by fight scribe John Chavez of boxingtruth.com.
The interview took place before the Game Four of the NBA Finals at Staples Center in Los Angeles and De La Hoya, who heads Golden Boy Promotions (GBP), added that “we’re very close in finalizing the contracts that were once very complicated.”
Since there is no other fight to make but pit Pacquiao and Mayweather together, De La Hoya said “the two fighters now realize that this fight must be made.”
“It has to be made because the boxing fans want to see it happen and right now it’s the biggest fight that can be made in the world,” said De La Hoya, who lost to Mayweather by decision in 2007 and to Pacquiao when he quit on his stool in 2008.
“I think right now we are very, very close in finalizing the contracts. I can’t talk right now in detail about the negotiations but I will say that we are very close,” added De La Hoya.
The past several weeks, the camps of Pacquiao and Mayweather have been mum about the status of talks regarding the fight.
The issue of random drug-testing and purse split are the talking points in the negotiations.
Every bridge needs it's troll to stop people from crossing over to the other side that have absolutely no business crossing over to the other side. Plus, if you don't like it, you can just Floyd me.
One of the worst analogies ever. Stop trying to be clever. it dosen't work with me. I can see through your parasitic BS.
I am now very close to bursting in an outrage. These "leechlike" parasitic oxygen trolls(user JubeiDOK) are really testing my patience now.:davil2:
One can only imagine what happens when COACH "coward" WEBB joins the "parasitic infestation". Whenever I enter one of these threads I feel like blood is being drained out of me.

not that hard to figure out. floyd works for gbp while top rank controls pac.

Again a parasitic infestation has now invaded this thread. Please stop posting videos to mock de la hoya. People should think twice about calling quitters, I've just made a thread on this issue:

They had a gag order to cool off all the speculation while they make the deal, which is good, so why the **** is Oscar running his mouth???

i know right? gag order my ass...there's an article released from both sides everyday! :lol1:
Cant seem to find any from Floyd , can you say the same for Arum Pac and Roach , this is the first peep Ive heard from anyone close to Mayweather apart from Roger and he said nothing about the fight other than Floyd kicks his butt .
Gag order? Who says that?
DLH is the boss. Nobody gagorders him. That doesn't mean that he wont put his foot in his mouth and speak though.
Well I mean that was the word coming out of the Arum area was that there was a court ordered gag from releasing information about the negotiations.
Especially since there's a supposed "gag order" on the negotiations for this fight, I wouldn't call this being gagged at all.
