“It’s so sad mayweather has to bash people and flaunt money he’s not going to when he retires. give Ortiz a rematch. try beat him fair,” commented Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya, who fired back at recent posts made by Floyd Mayweather on his Twitter account earlier this morning. Mayweather, who no doubt took offense to comments made during a conference call held yesterday to state their case for a rematch with Victor Ortiz, posted a series of derogatory statements directed at both De La Hoya and Ortiz, including pictures of Oritz modeling underwear as well as one of the infamous photos of De La Hoya wearing fishnet stockings. Perhaps the most surprising comment in this Twitter war, however, came next from De La Hoya.
“And then maybe just maybe i will give you a mother chance at me,” De La Hoya tweeted. Now, eep in mind, De La Hoya’s grammar isn’t the best when he’s posting on Twitter, so no, he didn’t mean he would give Mayweather’s “mother” a chance at him. While that definitely would have been a much stronger slap in the face, what De La Hoya really meant to say was “another” chance at him, which he quickly clarified in his very next tweet. In other words, Oscar De La Hoya just told Floyd Mayweather that he gives Victor Ortiz a rematch, then maybe, just maybe he’ll give Mayweather a rematch with him. Say what? Surely he didn’t really mean that.
When one of his followers asked him if he was serious about that comment, De La Hoya simply replied, “no”, followed by a smiley face. Having been retired for nearly 2 1/2 years now, Oscar has maintained that he’ll never fight again, and yet, rumors have continued to surface from time to time about an eventual comeback. So much so, in fact, that one can’t help but wonder if a return to the ring in the near future isn’t out of the question. In fact, the same sources who informed us back in May that De La Hoya was addicted to cocaine and committed adultery, long before he revealed the truth to the rest of the world, tell us that the Golden Boy coffers are running low and De La Hoya is hoping to refill them as soon as possible.
