The boxing world was still in shock when Oscar De La Hoya is fighting again but this time it is away from the four corners of the ring. De La Hoya enters into rehab in California for some sort of addiction but it is still remain unclear as to what kind of addiction he is presently suffering. There are so many speculations coming out and one notable is that he enters rehab for drug abuse but nothing is definite though.

In fact, in the statement that he issued through Golden Boy Promotions is quite fuzzy as well and he did not talking about it directly and this is what he said:

"After doing an honest evaluation of myself, I recognize that there are certain issues that I need to work on. Like everyone, I have flaws, and I do not want to be one of those people that is afraid to admit and address those flaws.

Throughout my career and my life, I have always met all challenges head-on, and this is no different. I am confident that with the support of my family and friends, I will become stronger, healthier person.

I ask for respect and provicy as my family and I go through this process."

Pacquiao VS Mosley: Who Will You Pick

Who will you pick then?

The oddsmakers in the gambling town of Las Vegas made PacMan a 6-1 favorite to beat Mosley and defend his WBO welterweight title but Sugar Shane dismissed any suggestions that he is past his prime and was in decline but not to mention that he is 39 years old already. Although some critics would say that there could be surprises in the early rounds and in fact, Mosley has said that it’s going to get very interesting, very quick. Whether Mosley is not in a decline and not too old to fight Pacquiao, we must understand that having slow reflexes against Pacquiao is a big problem knowing that he has a lightning fast hands and very quick to evade counter punch. And before you knew it, he is already long been gone and out of reach. I don’t know if Mosley can keep up with that which brings to another question.

But there are more on what boxing gloves Manny are wearing on the fight night than the fight itself. He will use a pair of yellow boxing gloves that symbolizes hope to end poverty. Which Manny have said, that his biggest fight is how to end poverty in the Philippines.

Nonetheless, whatever is the outcome of the fight tomorrow; Pacquiao is guaranteed to earn $20 (whooping) million price money and remember that’s not to include the share of the pay per view that could possibly even reach up to $1.5 million sales.

And one more thing though, Pacquiao VS Mosley is not the only important sport to watch tomorrow. The Rossoneri is trying to take the Scudetto for the first time since 2004 with even just a draw against Roma.
