Their first fight was aired here in the Philippines, specifically in GMA Network, it didn’t interest me at all but my Grandfather really loves boxing so I just joined him watching but it really bores me. There are some news, well I don’t know if it’s already verified but some says that they will be having a rematch, I told that news to my grandpa and he was like going “gaga”, cause he really loves Floyd Mayweather.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya, who shattered box office records when they met last spring, are close to finishing a deal for a rematch, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com Wednesday. “We are still discussing things but we have almost finalized it,” said Schaefer, who heads De La Hoya’s promotional company. “I think an announcement will be forthcoming.” . I am hoping for the rematch baby! ^__^. Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya looked for better options and rediscovered each other, an entirely predictable outcome after they produced the biggest fight in boxing history.

Did you know that the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight set the record for most PPV buys for a boxing match with 2.4 million households, shattering the previous record of 1.99 million for Evander Holyfield-Mike Tyson II. Around $120 million in revenue was generated by the PPV. Factoring in the percentages, Oscar De La Hoya ended up earning $52 million for the bout, the highest purse ever for a fighter. The previous record was $35 million, held by Tyson and Holyfield. Floyd Mayweather earned $25 million for the fight, isn’t it amazing? O.o . My grandpa would love to have Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. tickets but unfortunately we aren’t in America right now so for those who are in America do not try to miss the upcoming re match. Everyone in the equation is looking for the richest exit strategy possible.
