  • DE LA HOYA Vs. MAYWEATHER SUPER FIGHT MAY 5 at MGM GRAND in LAS VEGAS
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 20, 2006 DE LA HOYA vs. MAYWEATHER SUPER FIGHT MAY 5 AT MGM GRAND IN LAS VEGAS MGM Grand Garden Arena To Host Championship Title Bout LAS VEGAS – It will be an unprecedented super fight between two boxing superstars and former Olympians. It will be an event poised to shatter records many believe would never be broken. Golden Boy Promotions is pleased to announce six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya will meet unbeaten, four-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Saturday, May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev., in the biggest fight to hit the sport in decades. “This is what boxing is all about and fighting Floyd Mayweather is the type of fight that truly gets me motivated to go through a hard training camp and make the sacrifices I have to make to be the best,” said Oscar De La Hoya. “We’ve talked about it, the press and the fans have asked for it, and now we’re going to put it all on the line and fight. I can’t wait for May 5.” Floyd Mayweather followed by saying, “I’m excited to get this opportunity to once again show why I’m pound-for-pound the best in the world and to add another title to my collection. I respect everything Oscar has accomplished in this sport, but this time he’s in over his head.” Considering the pedigree of both De La Hoya and Mayweather, legitimate superstars with world- class credentials, this bout already is drawing comparisons to mega events of the past such as Leonard- Hearns, Hagler-Hearns, Ali-Frazier and De La Hoya-Trinidad.

  • Sports Sponsorship Opportunity
    SPORTS SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY BERNARD HOPKINS BATTLES WINKY WRIGHT Excerpt from HBO website dated May 5, 2007 Two of boxing's most notable fighters face off on Saturday July 21 at 9:00 PM ET/ 6:00 PM PT, live on HBO Pay-Per-View When boxing historians look back at the current era of boxing, two names will stand out among the finest of this generation -- Bernard Hopkins and Winky Wright. But for these fierce competitors, being one of the elite isn't enough. On Saturday, July 21st, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, live on HBO Pay-Per-View, Hopkins and Wright will battle one another to claim supremacy. 1 "I'm back and my record speaks for itself," said Hopkins, the former undisputed middleweight champion whose Ring magazine light heavyweight belt will be on the line in this 170-pound bout. "I was champion for over ten years, had 20 defenses and a win over a man they said was the best light heavyweight in the world, Antonio Tarver. Winky Wright is a good fighter, but I'm a great fighter, and I'll prove that once again on July 21st." "I'm glad that Bernard stepped up to the plate to fight me when no one else wanted to take the challenge and I respect him for that," said Wright. "But that will all go out the window when we step into the ring on July 21st. I'm younger, faster, stronger and better than Hopkins and he knows it." A true legend of the game and a future Hall of Famer, the Philadelphia native Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins (47-4-1, 32 KOs) ruled the middleweight division for over a decade and defended his title a record 20 times, defeating the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, William Joppy, and Glen Johnson.
