It appears the rumor mills are true. Boxer Floyd Mayweather was robbed of about 7.2 million dollars worth of jewelry, from his Las Vegas home. Investigator K.W. Hasan of Sherbrooke Jelan & Associates in Ellenwood, Ga., said Wednesday that he's sure someone knows who broke in while Mayweather was away. Las Vegas police spokesman, Officer Jacinto Rivera, says Crime Stoppers of Nevada also has posted a $2,000 reward. Who keeps 7.2 million dollars worth of jewelry in their home? Isn't that...

Loyd, who's known for his flamboyant boxing style and even more flamboyant lifestyle is in the rumor mill.

Manny Pacquiao described Oscar dela Hoya as his "boyhood idol" and said not even in his wildest dream did he ever see himself facing the legendary boxer. "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think and imagine that I will be fighting the same man who was then a superstar and is still the sport's biggest draw," he said.

That in itself is an impressive feat from a guy who began his career boxing horse jockeys at 106lbs. But Oscar De La Hoya hasn't hit the 147lb mark since 2001. So, a Mexicano, hefty because of a luxurious lifestyle intended to fatten him up (in the wallet, mostly), will endure the rigorous training necessary...

It was speculation that was ridiculed months ago, but an Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao fight is no laugher. Not anymore. What first had been rumored nearly six months ago is deadly serious. De La Hoya and Pacquiao agreed last week to fight at 147 pounds. Only the scale can put that in perspective. De La Hoya, who hasn't fought at 135 pounds in more than 12 years, has a date on Dec. 6 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand against Pacquiao, who fought at 135 for the first time in March. If it sounds as...

By Clive Bernath: No matter how much I try I cannot understand why Oscar De La Hoya would want to face the much smaller pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao in a welterweight bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December 12.
