Pacquiao - Dela Hoya fight latest update

Manny Pacquiao leaves Philippines (Sept. 14 night) to start training for fight against Oscar Dela Hoya. The Filipino Boxing Hero is set to undergo 10 weeks of heavy training in the Wild Card gym with Coach Freddie Roach. Manny said that he and coach Roach willbe working on maintaining his speed while bulking up for the fight.

Manny and Orcar agreed to fight in the 147 - pound limit division.

Earlier reports said TR, GBP and MGM are placing 5,000 tickets each, reducing the number of tickets available to the public to no more than 2,000. The MGM Grand seats 17,000 people.

Tickets are priced $1,500, $1,000, $750, $500 and $250, but Arum admitted that no ticket will be available at face value anymore.

Brokers and online ticket sellers have started peddling tickets that are expected to sell as much as $42,000 for the precious floor-seats.

During the box-office hit De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather fight last year, gate receipts reportedly reached $20 million.

Arum, in a recent radio interview, said there’s a big possibility the fight could top that record mark.
