Update: Triller exec Ryan Kavanaugh told ESPN that they’re looking to match Oscar with a UFC fighter and the card could land in Texas.
48-year-old Hall of Fame boxer Oscar de la Hoya has announced that he is coming out of retirement. The announcement was made during a Triller press conference for Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren.
Snoop Dogg: I keep seeing you in the ring but I don’t see you in the ring.
Oscar: You’re part owner of Triller, uh Fight Club, why don’t don’t you, uh…
Snoop Dogg: I think it’s you that should tell them. It’s you, not me.
Oscar: July 3, I’m making my comeback.
Snoop Dogg: Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Oscar then dropped the mic and walked off the stage. No opponent announced. No venue. But it looks like the Golden Boy will fight on a Triller show. Oscar (39-6, 30 KOs) last fought in 2008 against Manny Pacquiao.
Against who? A Youtuber?
Good point! You know Oscar would not want to come back and look bad against anybody able to really hurt and embarrass him. Oscar has been in the game for a long time. He knows what to do to look good and make one thing; money! Him and Snoop would be better off smoking doobies together and calling it a day!
FISHNETS MAKES HIS RETURN!!!!
With girls girls girls by motley crue as an entry song.
lmao
Few soft opponents are on sight, depending on what weight he will make his come back: 160 Jermall Charlo or GGG, 168 Lemieux or Canelo, 175 Beterbiev, 154 is being considered too, Fundora or Tszyu in case. Welcome back Oscar
Mike: agreed. If he really wants to make a stab at it though, hopefully he starts with someone NOT at the top 5 level. Its a sure way to get himself hurt. He needs at least 2 or 3 fights to ease into it.
It’s only one time he is gonna fight Tony, and I believe he is thinking in two guys: Miguel Cotto or Trinidad
Aren’t Cotto and Trinidad both retired? It’s better to go out on your feet than on your knees. Case in point Paul Malignaggi?
Mike: ahh ok, that makes sense. I thought he was gonna try to make a run at it again.
BTW, when did he say that it is a one-off fight? I thought that is unclear as of now.
He’s 48 years old. There’s nothing to ease back into. It was obvious that he was finished after the Pac-Man fight and that was a long time ago. Oscar’s time has come and gone. You don’t get better late into your 40s – especially when he hasn’t been active at all.
I was a big fan of his back in the day, but it’s over. I feel sorry for these old fighters wanting to relive their glory day.
If he wants to have some fun he should consider some exhibition fights ala Mayweather.
LOL LMAO!!! I’m thinking more like a glorified smoky filled bar club fighter.
Quite realistic goals and scrambled eggs for brains.
Oscar like these 50 year old Tyson and Holyfield’s fighting again is a joke. Oscar never explained why he stopped throwing a jab with a 4-3 lead over Mayweather when interviewed after the fight. It’s a young man’s game not one’s living in the past and out of the limelight. Why doesn’t he fight GGG since his ace Canelo won’t?
Oscar said later that Mayweather adjusted and took the jab away from him.
Prob a mma guy. Maybe mcgregor? Obviously his secret weakness to leg kicks was exposed in UFC. Hes tainted goods there there. I cld see that happening. Mr. No boxing skill vs a very talented but old and decreped ODLH. Cld be funny to watch. Seeing how most of that card is a joke anyway
Oscar is clearly suffering the delayed effects of the shots he took to his head during the absolute caning he received against Pacquiao in his last fight in 2008.
I think you are right about his head. Almost 50? I don’t think that’s a good idea for him. God bless when he steps in there again.
Of course he got starched by Pacquiao. He was drained down to 147 and way past his prime. What did you expect? He a pro fighter and you’re not. That fire doesn’t die. He’s not regular like we are.
Hawn, well he also lacked discipline during training camp. I remember hearing that 2 weeks away they were dragging his ass inside passed out drunk. And even Edwin Valero said that he wouldn’t put in the necessary road work. He seemed frustrated with dela hoya. And the story goes, delahoyas lack of work ethic showed in the beatings Valero gave him in sparring. And if anyone saw Valero’s sparring videos, he would put a beating on his sparring partners.
Ridiculous.. sounds like he misses the spot light. Fighting some mma fighter that is not a professional boxer just to feed his need for attention. I’m not paying a dime for you tube triller crap
i hope he fights manny again. so i can see he’s ass kicked by a former bantam weight.
geee thanks lol
According to Yahoo Sports, he’s looking to fight Mayweather in July. Would certainly be a good payday for both, and something tells me he wouldn’t absorb a ton of punishment in such a fight. Hopefully he’s not hurting that bad for money. Can’t get the Dana White comment about cocaine being expensive out of my head. White said that in response to previous rumors about De La Hoya coming back.
Oscar vs. Munguia.
I like Óscar he’s brought back so many great memories he took on all comers didn’t wait terrified for fighters to get knocked out and slow down (Little Floyd vs Manny) but I can’t help but think of fishnets and ladies lingerie and kitchen utensils. I cringe when I see those pictures of him in those outfits floating around…
Yea yea I know I’m gonna get hate messages saying it’s okay for a man to wear ladies naughty undergarments i guess just goes to show you that you guys find that behavior okay which only tells me that you guys must have the same fetish. Hey if that’s what floats your boats then it is what it is. Peace out
The only one hating is Roberto Vivianco. As long as they arent in Roberto Vivianco’s life then why should he care? Maybe HE has a fetish…
Its amazing the state of mind cocaine will put you in. Things you would never do sober. Sexual acts never considered unless under the influence. Nasty drug. Its brought a lot of former strong men to poverty.
Can somebody please make this insanity stop???
Jake76, it won’t as long as it keeps bringing in $$.
Silly Oscar short on cash now that Canelo walked out on him 🙂
Unless golden boy is going bankrupt, very bad idea. I really don’t understand all these former champs coming out of retirement; risking their health to just prove ‘something’ just let yourself be remembered to the fans for how you were in your prime!
I am truly sorry for oscar’a decision to come back. I wish him all the best but fear for his health. He had a great career and is a true hall of fame fighter.
It would sadden me to see him hurt against an inferior fighter, he would have played with in his prime.
Take care champ
I can see Oscar making a run at the crown. He’s younger than BHOP – a few top 20 guys then onto Canelo – defeat Canelo and fight the maverick of boxing JAKE PAUL. I’ve bought my ticket to this ride. Throw in the rap and crazy gags and I’ll be laughing like a man on laughing gas at a dentist that takes back handers for extra unnecessary drug deals.
Oscar vs jake paul. Oscar flattened like a pancake in 30 seconds.
This will be like Srlvs Camacho
Oscar vs Chavez Jr
Good luck Oscar. Hi from San Antonio Texas!
Stay Retired and enjoy life Golden boy
All this is saying is that boxing’s most marketable years have definitively passed. When 50 year olds in exhibitions and youtube stars are routinely outearning some of the best fighters out there (INCLUDING HEAVYWEIGHTS!!), it really feels like an acceptance of defeat.
Actually it says the opposite. If past their prime fighters can still make $$ it proves that boxing is and always will be relevant. Especially when the alternative is a two rd ufc heavyweight champ PPV fight. Casual fight fans have short attention span which is why they like the quick knockouts. Real fight fans enjoy watching the adjustments that each fighter makes throughout a much longer period.
Steve.. yea i have to agree 100%. Jus cuz some people wont pay for this, others will and thus is very matketable! This simply goes to say that yes, we old school fans dislike these old fighters coming back and these You tubers fighting BUT boxing is evolving whether we like it or not. I worked extremely hard to become a pro boxer back in the day but hey if u can do it easier, well more power to you
I also want to add. You can’t blame Oscar, Tyson, Jones, Holyfield, or any of these YouTube stars. If a professional fighter can make easy money in an exhibition, he’d be a fool not to do it. The only people to blame are people watching this stuff.
Sweet! When does Winky Wright come back? Or Fernando Vargas?
I need to see him run it back against Chavez Sr. after he trounces Camacho Jr.
Some of you are really dumb or maybe inexperienced in life or both to talk such shit about the legend Oscar is.. I follow Oscar since the amateurs altough by far not at the level Oscar allways was; thanks to him for giving me the strenght and courage to practice and compete in this marvelous but difficult sport. And that saved my life because i would’ve end in prison or died from an od without boxing.. Some of you are really f…ing retard because for coming up with the fishnet story every time there is something about Oscar make me think of you that you are just that.. retards.. Oscar is and allways will be a Legend of the sport , like it or not it will never changed. To me is underrated and was robbed a few times in his carreer, the biggest robbery who affected the rest of his carreer is against Tito who was completly schooled by him.. An other one was one against the cheater Mosley and to finish the one against Money May could’ve gone either way because Oscar was the champ and if the fight would’ve taken place a few years before Oscar would’ve won without a doubt.. To the haters i say F… off.. I took coke too a period in my life who i was weak and did some crazy shit too.. Like Rick James did say : Cocaïne is a hell of a drug ! Lol
Oscar the sex offender, you can worship him all you want to.
Sex offender?
Regis, I’m still looking forward to seeing you get that title. I think it’s just around a corner for you.
If its all in fun…go for it. However he doesn’t give the appearance of being in shape when in the ring recently. Granted he had a few layers of clothes on. But it looked like there were a few layers of fat there too.
I am not an Oscar De La Hoya Fan but I don’t want to see him hurt either. His ego is going to take him down. I hope this is just Oscar-talk like when he said he was going to run for President.
Everyone is whining but you will watch. I would love to see Oscar fight Trinidad again. He should get soft opponent first just to get that 40th win.
DLH didn’t impress me when he was in his prime, and I have no interest in seeing him back in the ring at his age. He seems to be in some type of competition with Floyd Mayweather to have the highest net worth. DLH’s net worth approx $200M. Floyd’s net worth estimated to be over $500M, so jealousy is dragging DLH back into the ring to try to use today’s obsession with hype to make money. What a fool.
Yeah, it seems like Oscar never got over losing to mayweather.
If he follows through it sets up with talk of being back in training and how good he looks. He takes one or two softer fights and then he calls out Mayweather.
How about a Oscar vs Tito?
