No one. Harboring yet another dark secret, De La Hoya tells ET he knew training camp in Big Bear, California, that the Dec.
6, 2008 fight against PacMan would be his final bout. And if it led to a 10-bell salute, so be it.It's a stunning admission that comes nearly 11 years after he shared, for the first time in 2012, that as he prepared for the Pacquiao fight, he guzzled wine and beer during training camp. Why? De La Hoya explained at the time that he felt — and certainly looked — physically superior over his much smaller opponent.
But looks can be deceiving.«I have the height, the weight, he couldn't beat me,» reasoned the Golden Boy in an interview in 2012.Yes, that was all true.De La Hoya had a six-inch reach advantage over Pacquiao and a four-inch height advantage. What's more, PacMan had never fought above the lightweight division until he met De La Hoya in the welterweight division. But De La Hoya — speaking to ET ahead of his two-part HBO documentary, — admits he wasn't exactly being transparent in 2012.The truth of the matter is, De La Hoya started drinking halfway through training camp because he — and he alone — had already come to the conclusion that his career was over, and his fight against Pacquiao would be his last.

Ellise Shafer During an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday morning, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that the writers and actors unions going on strike in Hollywood are not being “realistic” with their expectations. Speaking to CNBC’s David Faber from the Sun Valley Conference in Idaho, Iger commented on the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike and imminent decision for SAG-AFTRA to join them. “It’s very disturbing to me. We’ve talked about disruptive forces on this business and all the challenges we’re facing, the recovery from COVID which is ongoing, it’s not completely back. This is the worst time in the world to add to that disruption,” Iger said. “I understand any labor organization’s desire to work on behalf of its members to get the most compensation and be compensated fairly based on the value that they deliver. We managed, as an industry, to negotiate a very good deal with the directors guild that reflects the value that the directors contribute to this great business. We wanted to do the same thing with the writers, and we’d like to do the same thing with the actors. There’s a level of expectation that they have, that is just not realistic. And they are adding to the set of the challenges that this business is already facing that is, quite frankly, very disruptive.”
