It's true alright!

Just read this off Fox sports:

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather have agreed to terms for a pay-per-view mega-bout in May. The agreement was reached late Monday afternoon.

"Oscar is really excited," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, a De La Hoya holding. "Oscar knows he will go in as an underdog because he is facing the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world."

De La Hoya will reportedly make more than $20 million for the May 5 fight, while Mayweather's share is expected to exceed $10 million. The exact split of the purse was not disclosed. Golden Boy will promote the event.

De La Hoya had given Mayweather a Monday deadline or he was going to pick another opponent for the bout. Mayweather beat Carlos Baldomir less than two weeks ago to win the World Boxing Council welterweight championship.


Woot!
