Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya called out P4P great Floyd Mayweather, saying “it’s probably the biggest fight that you can make today.”
De La Hoya, who is 48 years old, has not stepped into the boxing ring since he lost to Manny Pacquiao in 2008. He was supposed to return into the boxing ring this year for Triller against former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, but the fight fell apart after de la Hoya came down with a bad case of COVID-19. De La Hoya has now recovered from his illness and he is interested in stepping back into the ring in 2022. While he is open to fighting Belfort again, De La Hoya believes he has a better idea for a fight, a rematch against Mayweather.
De La Hoya and Mayweather met back in 2007, with Mayweather winning a split decision. 15 years later, and De La Hoya is calling Mayweather out for a rematch. Speaking to TMZ Sports, “The Golden Boy” called out “Money” and explained why the fight needs to happen.
“It could be Floyd Mayweather,” De La Hoya named as his opponent in his return to boxing. “It wouldn’t be an exhibition, with somebody like Floyd, it would be a real fight. It’s probably the biggest fight that you could make today that would generate tons of money, so that would be nice.”

I made 400+ on that fight off people I had never met
Went to a party and people were so sure Oscar would win
I said no chance and they gave me even odds
They paid out of shame and I only saw one of them again

I heard Vitor Belfort needs a dance partner.
