De La Hoya and Mayweather–Let’s Do it Again?
If you are a faithful reader, then you remember me posting a year ago about the boxing match between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather. That fight broke all PPV records last May in Las Vegas. (You also know what a big boxing fan I am, and the story of how my love for boxing got started.
That’s why I am thrilled to hear rumblings that Oscar De La Hoya, who was supposed to have a fight in May is backing off those plans. The Golden Boy is said to have changed his mind because he’d rather have a rematch with Mayweather!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Floyd Mayweather, he was the dancing whiz on Dancing with the Stars last season. Man, that guy can shake a leg! And in the ring, too!
If you are like me and would give just about anything to see this boxing match, I have got really good news! You can get De La Hoya vs Mayweather tickets at Team One Tickets.
Oh! And it looks like now that this is not just rumor. Golden Boy Promotions’ CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN that the bout is “almost finalized” for September 13 or September 20.
