    YES!

    Let's rejoice! This was going to be a stupid fight. Yes, lots of money, but dumb fight.

    "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Manny Pacquiao has decided to stay at lightweight and defend his WBC 135-lb crown after turning down an offer by Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) for a Dec. 6 fight in Las Vegas, lawyer Franklin Gacal said in a statement released early Thursday morning. "I have been informed that Oscar De La Hoya is firm with the 70-30 revenue sharing and won't budge in to the 60-40 split we have counter-offered. I find the offer of GBP unconscionable hence unacceptable. It would have been an honor to fight De La Hoya on his last fight capping a very illustrious boxing career but under the circumstances, the option left is to move on. I have already made specific instructions to my lawyer to start negotiating with Bob Arum for my next fight with any possible opponent at 135 lbs," said Pacquiao. Gacal said what Pacquiao wanted was a fair share of the mega fight and apparently, Oscar De La Hoya is making an offer that he knows is unacceptable," Gacal told fightnews.com.It is certain that Pacquiao will face Humberto Soto of Mexico sometime in November in Las Vegas.

    :hi:

    [/FONT]Possible opponents from 147 to 160 and with no fight scheduled:
    -Antonio Margarito
    -Miguel Cotto
    -Paul Williams
    -Verno Phillips
    -Joshua Clottey
    -Felix Trinidad

    Good, Now when Margarito beats down DLH more clearly than Floyd did, perhaps some of you will wake up and realize that Floyd though is the most skilled fighter we cant exactly call him the best at 147

    De La Hoya better get on the horn with Trinidad's people...
    And get him on some slim fast pronto....

    Then again there is always Santos, or maybe Mora/Forrest winner?
    Mosley III
    Cotto comeback?
    Chavez jr.
    Oscar still has plenty of options.
