The September 11 PPV return of ‘The Golden Boy’ Oscar De La Hoya against former UFC champion Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort will land at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. The clash will be a professional boxing bout, not an exhibition! PPV price will be $49.99.
Oscar Da La Hoya: “I decided if I was coming back it was for real, none of this exhibition stuff…this is the real deal, a real fight with real knockouts for a real win.”
Vitor Belfort: “I hope I don’t end up killing him but everything is on the table. This is a no holds barred, all out gladiator fight to the bitter end.”
A real boxing match against an mma fighter? Lmao Oscar your an idiot!!
You said, “Your an idiot.” You should have written, “You’re an idiot.”
Vitor was a pro boxer at one point and has some of the best hands in mma. This wont be easy….. Oscar out of action for 13 years and almost 50 as well. He wants that 40th win..
Finally some great news for boxing the man is back. On his way to fight Mayweather then Canello got get em Golden Boy
Wth is wrong with you???
Did you take the short bus to school?
Oscars was good not great in his prime, now? He’s a bum. I’d outbox him. What a complete chump
Me too.
I believe this is Oscar talking smack to sell tickets for one thing in mind; money! Nope, I am not buying into this… Free replay? Yes, but no buy from me to line Oscar’s pockets.
Oscar mad respect for your previous career, but please retire and stay healthy bud
Should be interesting now…
Hopefully this is a real fight. Oscar going to kick his ass. MMA fighters don’t have a chance in a boxing match. They look spastic when throwing punches. Hopefully it’s for real n Oscar embarrasses this guy n knocks him out.
Anderson Silva schooled Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Dmv: Julio cesar chavez isnt a real boxer though lmao ok he is, but is he really lol
Oscars old!!! Is he a real boxer anymore? Hell no! He should fight mike Tyson but he’s too scared
Lmao Chavez Jr is not even a real boxer. He was champ cause his opponents were hand picked
Silva didn’t win. Chavez lost if you know what I mean.
Silva didn’t win. Chavez lost. They both looked horrible.
Trinidad read this and has just started to train….
If it was for reals Oscar would have picked a boxer and not an mma fighter. Also, Oscar’s ultimate goal is to fool everyone into setting up the ultimate super fight between Oscar and Canelo. Any dummies falling for that?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!
That @$$ whipping Pacman gave him must have worn off.
omyyy.. gee thanks Oscar. will this sell? idk
Dont like this match for ODH as hes been inactive for over a decade. Belfort is much bigger and has good striking skills.
Oscar probably on the wrong end of some of the worst decisions in boxing history hands down obviously was robbed numerous times
I agree
Trinidad could not catch him and Oscar out pointed him…..but never complained after the bad decision
You’ve obviously never watched De La Hoya vs Whittaker, THAT was a robbery
Yes I did… was a big fan of both boxers and sweet pea was competitive but lost a not so close decision
Oscar lies like a politician. Yeah this is “real”. He’s about to beat up an MMA fight in a BOXING match. As for VB, yeah you’re going to “kill” him. Assuming he’s not on the gas anymore he’s not killing any former boxer in a boxing match.
As my mom would say, Vitor is “no spring chicken” himself. 44 vs. 49.
This is what boxing has become. Unfortunately the circus acts often make more business sense than real fights. It’s a really bad sign for boxing’s future. I’m not saying the sport will die, but it could be relegated to good PPVs and circus act PPV’s and fights relegated to low traffic media. We’ve definitely seen boxing’s best days.
Colbi: i agree bud. BuT, at least it provides us entertainment and these are fun to watch until the real champs decide to start fighting worthy opponents
I can save you all money and tell you how this will play out. Oscar is going to conservatively box him in a boring fight and take a decision.
Finally a ppv worth the money after years of junk. If anyone can save boxing its Oscar Oscar turned out more influential than Tyson or Ray Leonard rivals Ali for the most important thing in boxing the last 60 years. Oscar is truly an icon
Am Icon if you’re into drag queens and that sort of stuff
You must be new.
At what weight? Heavyweight? Vitor is a big guy. I can’t see him fighting below 180.
Everything else might be gone on Oscar, but that hook will still be there. Especially at the end of an exchange. If he knew clean, it’s over for sure.
However, if Vito comes in great shape, he could very well drown oscar in the first round.
I wonder if they’re testing the fighters. A vito on TRT is VERY different from a Vito that’s off.
Why not, I’m watching it.
why ? .. stay retired Oscar . snooze fest
Been a boxing fan for decades and the reality is that father time wins every time. But some boxer’s ego’s won’t let them admit that their reflexes, and the rest of their skills don’t ever return to their youthful levels…ever. Any boxing purist, analyst, journalist and writer would agree with this. Surely, even casual fans could see this also. But surely, and sadly, in this time, entertainment and folly are taking the place of a truly honorable sport. Honestly, I have better things to do with $50 than invest it in this circus. Good luck Mr. De La Hoya.
Well male testosterone is always high and egos to none of us can speculate about a professional boxer even if he is retired for 13 years. These men can use their hands still. Maybe not as fast or sharp,but they still would hurt us arm chair Joe blows who think they we can compete with them. Spectators is where we all should stay lol .
Wow, for some reason I still don’t care! I’m pretty sure I’m not stupid enough to pay to see this fight.
