Manny Pacquiao will go up against his toughest foe ever in the boxing arena, Oscar De La Hoya.

The fight will be held at the MGM Grand Las Vegas on December 6 2008.

De La Hoya has great advantage standing at 5'10'' and has 6inches longer reach. Pacquiao has the upper hand on the age department being six years younger than his opponent.

The fight will be under the welterweight division (147 lb.). This means that Pacman has to put in more weight while the Golden Boy has to trim down.

Pacman is expected to earn $15 million if the match earns $100 million.

Win $7000 from PETRONAS (SCAM)

Yesterday, I received an sms stating the following:

"Congratulation !!! Your SimCard get $7000 from PETRONAS. For more information, please call PETRONAS centre : +6281320683789 www.petronas.com"

I didn't rush into calling the number or checking the website because I was too tired from work. This morning, I read the message again and got suspicious so I searched the internet and as expected found the message to be a scam. It turns out that text message has been circulating for years now and looks to have originated from Indonesia.

Here is the statement from PETRONAS:

NO PETRONAS' SIM CARD LUCKY DRAW OR CONTEST

It has been brought to PETRONAS' attention that certain parties have been sending text messages to mobile phone users informing them that their SIM cards have won a RM10,000 lucky draw prize from PETRONAS. Receivers of the text message have also been advised to call a number with an Indonesian country code.

PETRONAS wishes to inform that none of its companies has organised any such mobile phone SIM card lucky draws or contests and would like to advise members of the public not to respond to such text messages.

PETRONAS has also communicated with the authorities on this matter.
