Several sources coming out of the camps of Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao have confirmed that a deal has been reached for the two fighters to collide on December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with HBO pay-per-view broadcasting the event. The two sides were at a roadblock for weeks after De La Hoya stood his ground on a 70-30 split of the revenue, while Pacquiao demanded 60-40. The fight will take place at a catch-weight of 147-pounds with eight-ounce gloves being used by both fighters. There has been no word on the actual split agreed to by the fighters, but Freddie Roach had advised BoxingScene.com's Ronnie Nathanielsz that he heard a of a compromise being reached with a 65-35 split by De La Hoya.

I kept telling people they were wrong... all a ploy to make the margarito fight even bigger... EVEN PAUL WILLIAMS WOULD BE AN AMAZING FAREWELL FIGHT!! I still respect oscar as a fighter, but he is hurting his legacy by doing this.

If this ruins pac... I will never forgive oscar. Yeah yeah oscar doesn't care he's rich I know. I don't give a ****, I was a true blue Oscar fan and if he ruins a great young fighter's career (even if he is at the end of his prime), and prevents us from seeing Pac-Guzman with Pac actually having better chances to take the '0' than anyone else, or Pac-Soto which will be a sure Fight of the Century, or Pac Marquez 3... Oh man I will hate Oscar.
