Since then, he has promised his fans he will return to the ring very soon. In a bid to bring Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather out of retirement, De La Hoya called him out. De La Hoya also offered Floyd 100 million dollars for a rematch as he walked towards his car after having dinner with his girlfriend.

In an interview with TMZ, De La Hoya said, “And guess what? You know who I’m gonna call out for my next fight? Floyd Mayweather, I’ll offer Floyd Mayweather a 100 million dollars, let’s do it.”
‘The Golden Boy’ De La Hoya lifted his shirt up to show the interviewer his abs, saying he has maintained great shape. Another thing to note, De La Hoya looked like he’d had a few drinks while he was out to dinner. His girlfriend, Holly Sonders, held his hand and guided him towards the car. Trying to make sure he wouldn’t say anything inappropriate.
I was ready mentally and physically, anyone who knows me knows I fought hard. I promise I will be back!

Oscar De La Hoya has not fought since losing to Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao back in 2008. Floyd, on the other hand, kept much more active with his last professional bout against ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor back in 2017.
Most recently, he fought earlier this year in an exhibition match against YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan ‘The Maverick’ Paul at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Do you think Floyd should come out of retirement for a rematch against the Golden Boy? Who do you think would win?
