What Dela Hoya's real intention to fight against Pacquiao???

Recent Fight of Pacquiao and Dela Hoya

De la Hoya who looked old and thin was easily beaten by the Filipino living legend Manny Pacquiao. I heard rumors that Dela Hoya was just looking for real money that's why he gambled on reducing his weight to even Pacman's weight which had caused his defeat in the hands of Manny. When asked if losing weight was the problem he denied it. He had that weight long time ago in 2001. After all these years he gained more pounds and reducing weight would involve hectic diet and losing energy. We can see it was one of the reasons why he was very different during the fight.
