Posted under Boxing, Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya

MANNY Pacquiao and Freddie Roach were swarmed by journalists for closer personal shots and interview right after the final media presentation of both fighters at the Hollywood Theater, inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“The Dream Match: Dela Hoya vs. Pacquiao” is slated December 6 (morning of December 7 in the Philippines) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Here are more pre-fight videos on the upcoming Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya fight.

Three days before the Dream Match, oddsmakers still favor Oscar dela Hoya over Manny Pacquiao but Richard Stern, President and COO of MGM, Mirage Entertainment and Sports, says the difference between the two fighters is getting slimmer and that other factors might reveal themselves on fight night itself.

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum presents Team Pacquiao to the media on December 3. Manny “The Pacman” Pacquiao is joined by, among others, trainer Freddie Roach, Wakee Salud and Luis “Chavit” Singson.

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao who is going up against Oscar “Golden Boy” dela Hoya in a match the world is anxiously anticipating, is clad in a dark suit and tie during a press briefing. Pacquiao says that the fight is “nothing personal,” that he is “just doing his job,” and will do his best to give the viewers a good show.

We also asked our fellow Filipino fans about the upcoming fight, and guess who they favor ;-)

You can find the latest stories, video, running account and updates from the The Pacquiao Files.

pacquiao should continue his generosity to the poor especially to those hungry kids in the cities of philippines.and promote peace and stability in mindanao thru pacification. he could win another price-NOBEL PEACE PRICE.

Did you mean NOBEL PEACE PRIZE?

Not impossible. Manny is a gentleman in and outside of the ring and does not spew brawl lines just to get noticed.

He has his foundation to extend his goodwill and generosity to his countrymen.
