Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao, also billed as The Dream Match, was a professional boxing welterweight superfight. The bout took place on December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. Pacquiao defeated De La Hoya via technical knockout when De La Hoya decided not to continue with the fight before the start of the ninth round. The card was a co-production of Bob Arum's Top Rank Boxing and De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions and was aired live on pay-per-view (PPV) on HBO PPV. The fight is notable for propelling Manny Pacquiao to full-blown superstar status in much of the western world (mostly in The United States), as Oscar De La Hoya symbolically "passed the torch", so to speak, to Pacquiao.

  • Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao, also billed as The Dream Match, was a professional boxing welterweight superfight. The bout took place on December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. Pacquiao defeated De La Hoya via technical knockout when De La Hoya decided not to continue with the fight before the start of the ninth round. The card was a co-production of Bob Arum's Top Rank Boxing and De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions and was aired live on pay-per-view (PPV) on HBO PPV. The fight is notable for propelling Manny Pacquiao to full-blown superstar status in much of the western world (mostly in The United States), as Oscar De La Hoya symbolically "passed the torch", so to speak, to Pacquiao. Despite no title belts being disputed, the bout received a lot of publicity since the two boxers were decorated, with Pacquiao being the current number one pound for pound boxer in the world as judged by The Ring, and a five-time world champion in five different weight divisions (Pacquiao was the reigning WBC lightweight champion at the time of the bout). Meanwhile, De La Hoya was an Olympic gold medalist and past holder of 10 world titles in six weight divisions. Pacquiao had to step up two weight divisions (from lightweight), and De La Hoya had to go down one weight division (from light middleweight), to be eligible for the bout's welterweight division. (en)
  • Óscar de la Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao, conosciuto anche come "The Dream Match" ("L'incontro dei sogni"), è stato un celebre incontro di pugilato tra Óscar de la Hoya e Manny Pacquiao, disputato il 6 dicembre 2008 presso la MGM Grand Arena di Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao sconfisse de la Hoya per KO tecnico quando quest'ultimo decise di non proseguire il match all'inizio del nono round. Nonostante non ci fossero titoli in palio, l'evento ebbe molto risalto sui mass media data la reputazione dei due pugili, entrambi pluridecorati in carriera. Pacquiao dovette salire di due categorie di peso (partendo dai pesi leggeri), e de la Hoya scese di una (dai pesi superwelter), affinché fosse possibile organizzare il match nella categoria dei pesi welter.
