When Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (45-1-1, 32KOs) tries to take the WBC middleweight title from Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33KOs) this Saturday night from the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya has a clear idea of what Cotto will try against his client.
Las Vegas - As previously reported, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya was not a happy camper when he found out Tuesday morning that Miguel Cotto had dropped the WBC middleweight championship. This coming Saturday night, De La Hoya's star fighter, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, will face Cotto in the main event of an HBO Pay-Per-View card from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.

Recently retired Floyd Mayweather Jr. was on the receiving-end of a scathing open letter from Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya, who criticized the unbeaten fighter's career in the most recent edition of Playboy. Golden Boy had co-promoted the majority of Mayweather's fights since 2007 - when De La Hoya and Mayweather traded punches in a fight that generated a record-breaking 2.4 million pay-per-view buys. The record stood until May 2nd of this year, when Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao exploded with 4.6 million buys on pay-per-view.
Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya caused quite a stir last week when he penned an open letter for the December issue of Playboy which was a rather scathing indictment of Floyd Mayweather's career. While on 'the 3 Knockdown Rule' podcast with Mario Lopez, De La Hoya explained how that missive came to fruition.
Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is still very willing to have his company work with former UFC champion Ronda Rousey - who a few weeks ago was entertaining the idea of entering the sport of boxing to chase a world title. This past Saturday night in Australia, Rousey suffered her first career defeat when she was knocked out in two rounds by Holly Holm, who previously captured multiple titles as a boxer. Holm, who was regarded as one of the best female fighters when she competed, made a full-time switch to MMA in 2013.
