De La Hoya To Call Out Mayweather, If He Wins Comeback Fights
Golden Boy promoter Oscar De Lay Hoya plans on fighting his long term rival Floyd Mayweather sometime in the near future should he win his comeback fights. The first fight planned for Oscar is against former UFC champion Vitor Belfort in a Triller exhibition sometime in September, Las Vegas.
De La Hoya and Mayweather first fought on May 5th 2007 in the super-welterweight division and at the time, it was the most lucrative boxing bout, with over $130 million generated in revenue. Mayweather Jr won the fight over 12 rounds via a split decision and won the WBC world title.
“I have a plan; I want to make the biggest comeback in boxing history,” Oscar De La Hoya told the live DAZN broadcast on Saturday night
“I want to get two of these fights down under my belt and get the timing ready and everything, and then my third one, I want to call out Floyd Mayweather.”
“I think Floyd after that exhibition he did with Logan [Paul], I think Floyd has, I think he feels like he has to prove something once again inside the boxing ring.
“So look, if I come out OK, my body feels great, I’m telling you, may jab feels faster than ever. I think it’s the 15 years I didn’t use it. If I feel good these next two fights that I have, I’m going to call out Floyd,”
