Oscar De La Hoya has had his differences with boxing’s living icon, Floyd Mayweather, and the UFC president, Dana White. With Mayweather, De La Hoya has shared a rivalry both inside and outside the ring. The CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya, who once trained under the instructions of Mayweather Sr., had fought the latter’s son in 2007. Billed as The World Awaits, Floyd Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya was a huge matchup in contemporary boxing.

However, De La Hoya, an Olympic gold medalist, retired two years after his fight with Mayweather and became a full-time promoter. In the recent past, the former world champion made headlines when he spoke about UFC fighters’ pay and caught the attention of president Dana White. After all these years, De La Hoya expresses his desire to patch things up between himself and his rivals White and Floyd Mayweather.
