De La Hoya, The Business Man That Fights

[ProBox1]

This is not an article about Oscar De La Hoya as the boxer. It is about Oscar De La Hoya, the promoter. De La Hoya company “Golden Boy Promotion” is making inroads into the growing Hispanic market, the one demographic that for the moment is providing boxing with any growth at all as far as fan base. With the influx of Hispanic fighters both U.S. bred and from beyond the border populating this sport, De La Hoya is working on his career after boxing.

Oscar De La Hoya as a fighter has been protective of his image and legacy and while he has his share of critics, there is one thing that no one can deny- De La Hoya has fought the very best of his generation and accepted all challenges. He has risked his legacy and when he finally ceases to fight within the ring; we will truly know his status in boxing history. [details]

There is no need to wait after he retires to pass judgement. The man is a legend and one of the greatest boxers of recent times. Period.

People can hate Oscar but thats because he looks like an Ambercrombie model not because of his fights. He has fought the best and beat the best.
