De La Hoya To Fight Hear “Free”

Promoter Oscar De La Hoya says he will fight Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn “for free” in a six-on-six card featuring fighters from both companies.

De La Hoya says he already knows the combination he will use to knock out Hearn, but he doesn’t want to reveal it. Oscar wants it to be an impressive end to the fight.

Knocking Hearn out is what De La Hoya has in mind, but he wants to take the pain and suffering out of the rookie before putting him out of his misery. If this fight comes down, it won’t end well for Hearn.

The former six division world champion and 1992 Olympic gold medalist De La Hoya wants to extend the fight “four to five rounds” so he can “have fun”. He slowly punishes Hearn, and he says, “Eddie will retire.” It’s not a fair fight. Even at 51, De La Hoya’s pedigree is too far advanced for a born-to-wealth promoter like Hearn to last even one round.

Possible undercard fights for 6 vs 6

Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis
Jaime Munguia vs. Diego Pacheco
Devin Haney vs. Oscar Duarte
Joseph Ramirez vs. Arnold Barboza Jr. winner against Jack Catterall
Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez vs. Jai Opetaia
Ryan Garcia vs Jaron Ennis: Possible

None of these fights have been negotiated at this point. These are dream matches that have Hearn and De La Hoya as possibilities for the 6 vs. 6 event drove.

De La Hoya said he would need “two months” to prepare for the Hearn fight, which is bizarre because even in his current state, he would be too much for the 45-year-old. Hearn found it amusing that De la Hoya would need two months to train for him.

“Imagine you need two months for me. Too big, too strong anyway,” Hearn said X.

Hearn reportedly wants eight figures for a fight against De La Hoya, and of course that’s not going to happen if he’s serious. It would be pathetic if Hearn leaned on His Excellency and tried to get a massive payday for a fight against De La Hoya that would be a complete mismatch.

“It did start with Eddie because he’s the type of promoter who doesn’t have the farming system that we have and Top Rank. We know how to build fighters from the ground up,” said Oscar De La Hoya Boxing King Media when asked who started the beef he has with Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn.

“What Eddie did was to draw some fighter jets from America that were already built. He claimed: ‘I built them, and I am the best promoter.’ Well, no, you’re not. So, our back-and-forth is actually great for boxing. That’s why we can stage a 5 v 5 with me and Eddie. Maybe even a 6 v 6 where Eddie and I can go. I won’t mind that.”

It wouldn’t be entirely bad to have Hearn and De La Hoya fight in a preliminary bout, but it would send the wrong message if played on the main card. This will make the event look like a clown show and create a stampede of non-boxers and older fighters trying to get in on the action.

De La Hoya will fight for free

“If he accepts the fights. The only question I will give, and I will speak to His Excellency,” said De La Hoya. “I want a small ring. I wish it could be 16 by 16. 18 by 18 is normal regulation. I believe we can go to 16 by 16. If we go 16 by 16, Eddie will retire.”

Hopefully His Excellency Turki Alalshikh vetoes the idea of ​​Hearn and De La Hoya fighting on one of his Riyadh season cards. It would make a mockery of them and potentially end badly for Hearn if he has to be stretchered out of the ring after taking a bad knockout.

“You are Excellency, I’ll fight Eddie for free as a gift to you. Free, it will be my pleasure. I only need two months of training. I still have my sting and my strength. I already know the combination I will use to knock him out. I already have it in my head.

“No, I don’t want to share it in case we do fight. I think it will be a four-round or 5-round fight. I want to have some fun there,” De La Hoya said of wanting to stretch out the punches against Hearn.
