However, the site is also reporting, that Oscar de La Hoya, who lost to Mayweather in May 2007 may also end up in the mix.
If you can believe this, one rumor making the rounds within the WWE locker room is that the company is making overtures towards Oscar de La Hoya to get involved with the match as a Wrestlemania tag partner for Show.
