Pacquiao is considered the best pound for pound fighters in boxing but his trainer is already complaining about the way the Golden Boy wraps his hands. "The tape between the fingers becomes like a piece of rope, and that can cause a cut for sure," stated Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach. "Oscar's people were saying he's got away with it 20 times here and I said, 'Oscar's a prima donna, but he's not going to get away with it now.' Rules are rules." Roach trained Oscar De La Hoya when the Golden Boy fought and lost to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. "Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore," stated Roach.

Presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, Inc., the bout will be a 12-round, non-title fight at the 147-pound welterweight limit. De la Hoya hired trainers Angelo Dundee, Nacho Beristain, and young boxing talent Edwin Valero to prepare him for the fight.
