Maywether is a Bloody Awesome Champ, The Rivalry between De Lay Hoya Continues...

May 06, 2007
FLOYD Mayweather has remained undefeated by taking a 12-round split decision over Oscar de la Hoya to take the World Boxing Council super-welterweight title in an epic showdown in Las Vegas.

Two judges scored the fight for Mayweather by 116-112 and 115-113 while the third saw de la Hoya winning 115-113.

Mayweather, who became a champion in his fifth different weight class, improved to 38-0. De la Hoya fell to 38-5.

On the Mexican Cinco de Mayo holiday, raucous loud cheers erupted when Mexican-American hero de la Hoya entered the arena. Mayweather made an appeal to the crowd by wearing a sombrero hat as he entered the arena.

The same crowd that chanted "Oscar" in nearly every round jeered the verdict.

The much-anticipated showdown between Mayweather, considered by many the top pound-for-pound fighter, and de la Hoya, boxing's most popular pay-per-view attraction, was expected to rank among the highest revenue fights in history.

A sellout crowd of 16,700, with celebrities abundant at ringside, produced a record live boxing payout of more than $US19 million ($23 million) with pay-per-view totals expected to surpass $US100 million ($122 million).

De la Hoya, 34, made $US25 million ($30 million), with his Golden Boy Promotions set to receive half of a pay-per-view take from more than one million homes, while "Pretty Boy Floyd" Mayweather, 30, took home $US10 million ($12 million).

I would rather have the unbeaten record and go down in history as one of the great than have an extra 18 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was hoping Maywether brings De La Hoya back to earth after his Winning Streak & he Did.

more oscar was going to get so much either if he wins or loses, mayweather wouldn't have got 25 million if he lost!

 

[sonnyfaifan]

Well der.... It doesn't matter on the outcome! All I was saying is that I would rather be remembered as the undefeated champ across 5 divisions than have all of the money. Money comes and goes Premierships and titles are forever.....
