Oscar De La Hoya: record, next fight and profile →
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has been one of the biggest critics of the finalized fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC superstar Conor McGregor - who collide on August 26 in a boxing match that will feature two of the top-selling fighters in the world.
LOS ANGELES - From Monday, August 7 to Wednesday, August 16, 2017, Los Angeles will host the World Police & Fire Games (WPFG) with Opening Ceremonies at the LA Memorial Coliseum. More than 8,000 athletes, all active or retired Police Officers or Firefighters, from over 70 countries will compete in over 65 different sports and disciplines, and draw up to 50,000 spectators.
On Monday it was revealed that Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena will play host to the biggest boxing event of the year - when two-division world champion Canelo Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) makes his official move to the middleweight division to challenge IBF/WBA/IBO/WBC Middleweight World Champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs)
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has taken the high road in the war of words with UFC President Dana White. Two weeks ago, De La Hoya came out publicly in opposition of the proposed pay-per-view boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and UFC champion Conor McGregor.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar de la Hoya knows how to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. As soon as Miguel Cotto dissolved his relationship with Roc Nation, the former world champions moved the chips in his direction with the intention of joining forces with the multiple Puerto Rican champion. Although Cotto's best days are in the past, De la Hoya understands that the Puerto Rican superstar still has the ability and, in turn, the skills to be showcased in several significant fights before closing the book on his Hall of Fame career.
Los Angeles, California - Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya is not budging from his position when it comes to the proposed pay-per-view boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and UFC champion Conor McGregor. Last week, De La Hoya wrote a public letter on his Facebook page - and he called for a fan boycott of the Mayweather-McGregor event.
Promoter Oscar De La Hoya believes he can kick-start the career of Miguel Cotto, who has been out of the ring since November 2015. On August 26th, the Puerto Rican faces Yoshihiro Kamegai for the vacant WBO World Super-Welterweight Title in California, exclusively live in the UK on BoxNation.

Last week, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya came out publicly in opposition of the proposed pay-per-view boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and UFC champion Conor McGregor. De La Hoya deemed the contest a "circus", saying the sport of boxing may never recover if the "farce" is allowed to take place. McGregor, the biggest pay-per-view draw in the UFC, announced earlier this month that he had signed his half of the deal to box against the 40-year-old Mayweather, who retired in 2015 with a 49-0 record.
Oscar De La Hoya really doesn’t want boxing fans to pay to watch a Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Conor McGregor fight. The retired six-division champion is so opposed to even the idea of Mayweather-McGregor that he posted an impassioned plea to boxing fans Thursday on Facebook. De La Hoya’s promotional company is in the process of finalizing a site for the highly anticipated middleweight championship showdown between Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez and popular Kazakh knockout artist Gennady Golovkin.
