Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya

By all indications, the superfight between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya won’t be just another blockbuster boxing event, but a global spectacle as well.

Top Rank president Bob Arum, who represents Pacquiao and will co-promote the Dec. 6 bout at the MGM Grand, said the fight will be bigger than the De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather Jr. bout last year which is considered the richest fight in history.

The fight, which Mayweather won by split decision, reportedly grossed $120 million from the pay-per-view revenues that reached a staggering 2.4 million buys.

MGM Grand started the lines for De La Hoya at -155, meaning a wager of $155 for the Golden Boy will yield $100. Pacquiao’s number is +135, meaning a $100 bet on Pacman will return $135.

Very surprised they are doing this. Hard to see Pac Man winning. Although, Freddie Roach seems pretty confident on a Pacquiao win.
