Oscar De La Hoya announced Thursday that he will meet on Dec. 6.

De La Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs), who has repeatedly said the December fight would be the last bout of his storied career in which he’s won world titles in six weight divisions, has been in talks with Pacquiao (47-3-2, 35 KOs) for weeks. Negotiations had gotten slowed down when both sides could not come to an agreement on how to split the revenue, which is expected to exceed more well over $100 million.
