De La Hoya to pay $ 3 million for every pound over 147

Oscar De La Hoya is dead-certain of tipping the scales at 147 lbs or even less during the official weigh-in on the eve of his Dec. 6 brawl with Manny Pacquiao.

“I have already talked with Bob Arum and he told me that Oscar has agreed that the penalty will be $ 3 million for every pound or a fraction thereof in excess of 147 lbs (during the weighin),”said Pacquiao lawyer Franklin Gacal yesterday.

Gacal had batted for the inclusion of that agreement in the official fight contract to prevent De La Hoya from gaining more advantage as he is naturally the bigger boxer.

“Oscar is the bigger boxer, is taller (at 5-10 as to Pacquiao who is 5-6) and has the reach advantage,” said Gacal, noting that the Golden Boy will have to sweat it out to make the welterweight limit.

In his last two fights — against Floyd Mayweather and Steve Forbes—De La Hoya came in at 150 lbs.

“Well, I think first of all a lot of people are going to be very surprised when we’re standing next to each other. Size really isn’t going to be that much of a big difference. It’s not going to be like Roy Jones against John Ruiz with the size differential,” said De La Hoya during a teleconference call from Los Angeles.

“I also have to keep in mind that Manny Pacquiao is a southpaw. So in the past the southpaw fighters that I have fought I really haven’t done very well with, so this is not going to be an easy fight I have no intentions of taking it easy in the gym. I have no intentions of looking for this fight to be easy,” said De La Hoya in the teleconference.

De La should come in at weight. Oscar is really selling this thing isn’t he?

Oscar de la Hoya highlight video

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.

Dinnertime Bandit Gets Convicted

The saga of “Dinnertime Bandit” Alan Golder ended today in Stamford Superior Court as he was convicted of kidnapping, two counts of second-degree burglary and one count of first-degree larceny.

He was found not guilty on several other charges.

Golder, accused of burglarizing the homes of wealthy Greenwich people as they ate dinner, was found guilty in connection with two burglaries in which a prosecution witness and admitted accomplice said he drove Golder to commit the crimes.

Golder had admitted to a successful run of jewel heists from estates along the East Coast and California from 1975 to 1980 that resembled the Greenwich crimes, including the homes of late-night television host Johnny Carson and singer Glen Campbell.
