The super match boxing has been waiting for is now set to go.

Word from the camp of Oscar De La Hoya on Wednesday suggested that a deal has been set for the Golden Boy to take on Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao on December 6th, presumably in Las Vegas.

De La Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs) has been in talks with Pacquiao (47-3-2, 35 KOs) for weeks. But negotiations got bogged down when the sides could not come to an agreement on how to split the revenue, which is expected to exceed more than $100 million.

Who will emerge the victor in this super match? If you're a big boxing fan and think you know the answer, head on over to the Bodog Sportsbook today for all the Boxing Betting and Boxing Odds available now!

    If the Delahoya fight does take place, how can the general public get tickets. There are some web sites already claiming to have tickets for over a grand on the nosebleed section.
