No less a seer than Lou DiBella might sit back on his Manhattan couch, sip a fine Scotch, and economize by spending only $54.95 to watch the De La Hoya-Pacquiao fight Saturday night.
?I?m thinking of going to England to scout out Carl Froch against Jean Pascal as Jermain Taylor?s title shot is next,? DiBella said. ?But I feel no need or compulsion to go to Las Vegas.
?There?s no mystery, no drama in that fight for me. I know what?s going to happen so I?ve no need to fly out there, get a hotel room and do all that. I can curl up on the couch with my Glenlivet or other premium Scotch and what I will see and the world will see is the expected.?
I begged the Volcanic One to peer deeply into his crystal ball and reveal to Boxingconfidential readers what that might be.
?The fight will go 12 rounds,? DiBella said. ?Manny will get manhandled by the bigger Oscar. Oscar will win the decision but Manny will come out fine with a lot of money and he will go to 140 pounds to fight Ricky Hatton and others.?

Who?d have thunk it?
