When it comes to sports, nothing gets fans going more than rumors. Well, in the case of the rumors about a prospective rematch to one of the most popular, and most financially rewardable, fights in history, the rumors appear to be true. That’s right, it looks like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya will be fighting again. When it is finally announced, Mayweather vs De La Hoya tickets are going to be some of the hardest and most sought after tickets to get this year in boxing.
Negotiations have been going on for quite some time to bring this rematch to the public, but something has happened recently that make it look like a certainty. Oscar De La Hoya has recently backed off of his plans for a fight in May of this year, speculation is that he would only cancel plans for a fight if this bigger fight was going to be a reality. With the first fight between these two breaking most PPV records last year, you have to think that both fighters were going to try and make it happen again. And it looks like they did it.
The specifics of the fight have not been set yet as the negotiations between the two fighters’ camps are not done yet. So far, the location looks like it could be back in Las Vegas like the first fight or also could be somewhere in Los Angeles, De La Hoya’s hometown. As far as dates for the fight to happen, it appears that Sept. 13 adn Sept. 20 are being held open at a number of venues and if it does happen it will be broadcast on HBO pay-per-view.
Wherever and whenever the fight does take place, boxing enthusiasts will be lining up for tickets and calling their local pay-per-view providers. The first time these two boxers fought, it ended in a split decision and De La Hoya lost his title.
