    BURBANK, Calif. -- Intent on making his last fight a "worldwide event," Oscar De La Hoya said that negotiations for a possible megafight with Manny Pacquiao, the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, are not dead and that he is hopeful to make an official announcement on his final opponent either by the end of the week or early next week.
    "I want a big fight," said De La Hoya from his celebrity golf tournament Monday afternoon. "I want to go out with a big bang. I want to make it an event. I want to make it a worldwide event because I want to show the boxing world and I want to show everybody around the world that boxing is alive and well. I want them to say, 'Look at this big event December 6.'"



    ...


    "I think Oscar wants to go against a big name and wants to make a big event," said Schaefer, who spoke with De La Hoya about the possibility of making the fight in between holes at the Lakeside Golf Club on Monday. "The kind of event that again will transcend boxing, which generates interest not just within the boxing community but outside as well. And certainly Pacquiao is one of those names."

    I will watch it, but it's going to be a bull**** fight and a waste of our time.

    It is what it is, a farewell fight and as such I doubt Oscar was going to want someone who posed a threat to him, especially when he could make more money and look better against an inferior opponent.
