De La Hoya lopettaa

[könde]

Yksi mun suosikkiottelijoista, tosin viime vuosina ei ehkä ihan parhaassa terässä, joten toivottavasti pysyykin poissa kehästä ja jatkaa vain promoottorina.


Ten time world champion in six weight divisions and future boxing hall of famer, “Golden Boy” Oscar de la Hoya announced his retirement at a press conference moments ago in Los Angeles. A very emotional Oscar stated, “These last four months have been very difficult for me. I’m announcing my retirement. I’ve been doing this since I was five years old. Boxing is the love of my life, boxing is my passion, boxing is what I was born to do. When I can’t compete, it’s not fair to me and it’s not fair to my fans. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s over inside the ring for me. My decision is based on a lot. Now I understand why athletes have a hard time. My life will continue to help the sport grow.” The ultra-popular 36-year-old ends with a record of 39-6, 30 KOs, and he is the highest grossing fighter in boxing history. His fight against Floyd Mayweather is the highest grossing boxing match of all time. Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer stated that a special tribute to Oscar’s career will take place on September 19.

oli kyllä loistava nyrkkeiljä parhaimmillaan, loppuajasta tais olla enemmän liikemies kuin nyrkkeilijä.

De La Hoyasta on sanottu että ois eniten koskaan rahaa tienannut nyrkkeilijä, kuinkahan paljon se lopulta on tehnyt rahaa nyrkkeilyllä,
Useita satoja miljoonia ilmeisesti.?

Jep. Kaveri oli 5 eniten tienaavan urheilijan listalla tässä joku vuosi sitten. Otti yhden ottelun sinä vuonna.
