It’s (probably) ON! Mayweather Jr v De La Hoya

Mayweather/De La Hoya tickets will probably be available soon for a BIG bout that there’s tons of speculation for. The dates are likely to be September 13 or September 20 and let me tell you folks, this is going to be massive.

I didn’t see the last one but it broke all sorts of records, including the most important one for the promoters, the PPV record.

De La Hoya is my favorite boxer. He’s a gun around the ring, I just love his energy and fighting spirit. I don’t like Mayweather Jnr as much but he has a LOT of fans and it helps that he won last time. (Boo!) He’s never been beaten previously (well, wait a few months…)

So many times these things end up being fixed because this sport is fairly corrupt but the last fight actually seemed legitimate. So in the absence of other boxing stars, these two are at it again and hopefully De La Hoya will take the points this time.

My biggest complaint is that this hasn’t happened sooner. There seems to be far too much politics in this sport which really gets in the way of the entertainment. I think there would be much more money in it for them if they had pretty regular bouts or changed the rules about how long someone can hold a title without having to defend it.

Tickets are going to sell out basically instantly one would imagine despite their high price. Fights like this don’t come around very often.
