De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao, Who Will Win?

Saturday December 6, 2008
Grand Garden Arena Oscar De La Hoya will try to reignite a spark that went out so long ago tonight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. If you are a fan of the “Golden Boy” you might not be happy with what I am about to say. Click over to some great photos of the Sexy Sirens of TI instead.

De La Hoya is done and the truth is, this is most likely his last big payday. I love that he comes into town and with him his fans bring plenty to the city in the form of beer sales and very vocal celebrations. I’ll admit, I have been to a few of those celebrations and I will tell you that De La Hoya fans know how to do Vegas right. Tonight, however, will be all about Pacquiao.

Is it possible that I am way off? Maybe. I picked USC to beat Oregon State and lost a bundle at the Sports book and it’s possible that my pick of Florida today against Alabama might be in jeopardy.

If you don’t have a ticket, grab a seat at the closed circuit feed at the Mandalay Bay or if you want a real fight watch hockey at a Sports book.
