Oscar De La Hoya has been walking on a tight RPP ever since Virgil Ortiz Jr defeated sir bohachuk shot hurt by the overhand the tension between De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins which had been building erupted after that fight but what really lit the match wasn't just the friction between the two it was Floyd Mayweather jumping into the fire pouring gasoline on their already heated Feud thank you thank you thank you very and this time it got personal Mayweather known for always speaking his mind decided to take his shots at De La Hoya while backing up Hopkins in a heated live Floyd didn't hold back Oscar's just out here chasing money that's all he's ever been about look everyone knows it he'll sell out whoever wherever if it means another dollar in his pocket he ain't got no real loyalty to the sport anymore it's just about his pockets De La Hoya was all about the money according to Mayweather even when it came to Virgil fighting bohachuk turkey alal shik has recently been throwing fights for his favored Fighters with De La Hoya's fingerprints all over those deals something something special yeah something special and maybe he gets back Floyd kept on hammering De La Hoya for that it's clear as day Oscar's just playing the game he doesn't care who wins or loses as long as the check clears that's why he's so deep with turkey throwing fights left and right like it's no big deal it ain't about Legacy for him anymore it's just about cashing having trouble finding Mayweather there'll be a lot of that and Oscar's doing a very good job of neutralizing Floyd didn't stop there he got personal taking it further by jabbing at Oscar's reputation you think Oscar's concerned with boxing anymore nah he's concerned with whatever gets him on that next private jet whatever gets him the next mansion that's who he is all the glamour it went to his head a long time ago I'm backing Hopkins 100% at least Bernard's still in it for the fighters what's Oscar in it for the dollar signs this was exactly the type of attack that Oscar De La Hoya wouldn't take lying down the Golden Boy wasn't about to let Floyd tear into his character and drag his name through the mud without a fight so De La Hoya fired back and he fired back hard always talking [ __ ] like 1.8 million you know how it is in a live stream of his own Oscar didn't mince words Floyd's talking like he knows me like he knows what I'm about please if anyone's been chasing money their whole career it's him Floyd's entire career was built around big money fights pay-per-views and making sure his bank account was bigger than his ego he's retired but all he does is flaunt his wealth like it's something to to be proud of Oscar wasn't [Music] done look yeah I've done well for myself I've made money but I've also given back to this sport more than Floyd ever will while he's out here talking about Legacy and how Bernard's the only real one left he forgets everything I've built with Golden Boy I've given countless Fighters a platform an opportunity what has Floyd done for the sport except brag about how much money he's made you know and Floyd this is where Floyd is is is is smart he knows how to play that villain Guy De La Hoya's words cut deep especially when he turned the tables on Floyd's support of Hopkins and as for Hopkins sure Bernard's a legend no doubt but don't come at me like I'm the bad guy here we've had our disagreements but that's between me and him Floyd's jumping in trying to act like he knows what's going on he doesn't he's just looking for another way to stay relevant De La Hoya then went for the knock out [Music] punch Floyd's got the nerve to talk about money the same guy who can't go a day without reminding the world how much he's worth he doesn't care about boxing anymore not like I do I've dedicated my life to this Sport and I'm still in it fighting for Fighters giving them opportunities Floyd's out here on the sidelines talking from his Mansion big talk from someone who's been out of the game the live exchange was explosive with both Floyd and and Oscar trading verbal punches like it was a championship fight fans of both Fighters were glued to their screens waiting to see who would land the next shot look turkey is trying to make the best fights that everybody wants to see but the heat wasn't just about words at the core it was about the future of boxing and the real reasons behind their actions Floyd's accusation that De La Hoya was tied too closely with the money and influence of turkey Alik throwing fights for his favored Fighters struck a nerve whether there was truth it or not the damage was done Oscar's defense though passionate was also layered with frustration not just at Floyd but at the entire narrative being spun around him for now it's unclear where things go next but one thing is certain Floyd Mayweather backing Bernard Hopkins Oscar De La Hoya exploding with his fiery response it's a feud that's just getting started or well started a long time ago Floyd who again it's like it's like the it's like that rivalry the the villain and the good guy you know it's just recently that Oscar De La Hoya gave Praise on the man who took his pay-per-view Crown but stopped short of Laing Floyd Mayweather's record The Golden Boy boss while acknowledging Mayweather's dominance in the Ring made it clear that he wasn't fully sold on The Undefeated 50 zero record Floyd played his cards right if if there was if there was ever a winner in Las Vegas it's Floyd it's Floy De La Hoya gave Mayweather his props for being the greatest fighter of his generation recognizing his incredible professional career that spanned from 1996 to 2017 but even in his praise Oscar had some reservations particularly when it came to the way Mayweather built his career right Floyd senior is not going to train you no of well no that's his son yeah he's he's not gonna he's not gonna train me to beat up his son no De La Hoya revealed his dislike of the Mayweather formula of picking and choosing when to face his opponents a critique that has followed Floyd throughout his career The Golden Boy suggested that Mayweather's undefeated run wasn't just due to his immense skill but also because he avoided facing certain Fighters at the height of their careers I think Floyd's an amazing fighter no doubt about that Oscar started choosing his words carefully but he didn't take on all the best fighters in their Prime that's what bothers me he was strategic smart yes but as a fighter my mentality was always to face the best the toughest challenges Floyd didn't always do that his 50 record is impressive but if he had fought some of these guys earlier who knows what might have happened and I have double duty and it's like very distracting I'm a old 33-year-old boxer and and but I still want to fight the best De La Hoya's criticism wasn't new many in the boxing world have thrown similar accusations at Mayweather over the years despite his victories over some of the sports biggest names his resume boasts wins over Canelo Alvarez Miguel kto Shane Mosley uro gati and Manny Pacquiao but detractors like De La Hoya argue that many of those wins came when his opponents were past their Prime and one thing that makes Mayweather frustrating to fight he'll land these right hands but he will not engage in the slugfest you're still getting hit with six and Sev Oscar didn't stop there during an interview De La Hoya continued to reflect on Mayweather's career questioning whether people truly appreciate him while he's still around I don't think so Oscar said bluntly when sharp asked if Mayweather gets enough credit what happens is we don't realize how wonderful of a person or athlete someone is until it's too late until they're either gone or much older we don't do our research we don't study their careers enough it's always easier to label them great when they're no longer in the spotlight um at the time yeah it was the record setting pay-per-view you um I think I think we generated something like close to Allin like close to 400 million it was a subtle nod to Floyd's polarizing presence in the sport a man who has consistently been both celebrated and criticized for Oscar the admiration for Mayweather's skills was never in question but it was how Floyd navigated his career that left a sour taste De La Hoya dug deeper a addressing Mayweather's tactical approach to fight selection I think Floyd was smart in his career he didn't hold on too long he got out before a young lion could come in and take him down that's commendable but here's the thing he didn't fight everyone he should have in their Prime he avoided taking some of the bigger risks and I get it it's a business but that's not how I saw the sport I discussed with the Golden Boy we want to do something in the in the first week in September if it's available Oscar's perspective on boxing was different almost old school for him the true test of a fighter was stepping into the ring with the best regardless of the risk to one's record in my career I wanted to fight the best no matter the consequences that's what made the sport exciting for me but with Floyd there's always going to be the argument that he dodged certain fights when they were at their Peak take Pacquiao for example people will always say that fights should have happened earlier Floyd ever had a split decision right right no was it was I gave him a good fight but it's funny because we're like throwing at each other and the bell rings and we're like Mayweather's long awaited Showdown with Manny Pacquiao finally took place in 2015 years after fans had first clamored for the matchup while Floyd emerged Victorious many felt the fight had lost some of its luster due to the timing with both Fighters arguably past their primes still De La Hoya acknowledged that even with the criticism Mayweather's in ring Talent was undeniable at the end of the day you watch Floyd in the ring ring and there's no denying his skill he was a defensive genius rarely got hit and played the game beautifully but for me that's not what boxing is all about it's not just about winning and keeping your record clean it's about taking on the biggest challenges even if you might lose said that Floyd Senor went up to her after the fight and said you won yeah yeah which was pretty pretty I mean Floyd Sor he's he's a very honest individual and you know I mean for De La Hoya that difference in philosophy was at the heart of his critique I fought the best I took the toughest fights and sometimes I lost but that's what made it real for me Floyd on the other hand always fought on his terms and that's why there's always going to be a question mark around his career the Rivalry between Mayweather and De La Hoya dates back to their epic showdown in 2007 where Floyd defeated osar via a disputed Split Decision the fight marked a turning point in both men's careers Mayweather mented his status as the sports new pay-per-view King while De La Hoya's star began to Wayne Floyd's Reign at the top of the ppv world would last for over a decade with each new fight adding to his legacy and bank account with my friend the legend we are here and we are ready to the third and we have surprise but for De La Hoya that moment still stings that fight people still talk about it he said with a hint of frustration it was close a split decision but it was a Changing of the Guard Floyd took the torch and ran with it but you know what even after all these years people still debate who really won the two men both Legends in their own right viewed the sport through entirely different lenses for Floyd it was about protecting his undefeated record and maximizing his earnings for De La Hoya it was about Legacy about stepping into the ring with the best no matter the cost and that's a rift that will never be fully bridged despite being by far the richest fighter in boxing history Floyd Mayweather's wealth has come into question once again this time it was further extended by promoter Eddie Hern I mean it's difficult to say he's not a true fighter because he thought everybody could have his era but he was a different kind of skill set you know he was very much hit and don't get hit which is the the art of boxing in a recent interview Hearn speculated that Mayweather who boasts an undefeated record of 50 might not have as much money as he claims Hearns remark have ignited conversation across the boxing world as many people have long questioned whether Mayweather's financial status is as solid as he portrays I don't think he's got the money he says Hearn stated bluntly that's what I think I don't think he needs the money but you know when you've got that lifestyle when he's spending what he's spending hearn's comments hold weight considering Mayweather's public Persona we got options options options I got about 100 cars but right here would like to call this the sweet 16 throughout his career Mayweather has built an image based on Extreme wealth and lavish living his moniker money reflects this as he has always been seen flaunting his riches whether it's stacks of cash luxury cars or multi-million dollar Mansions but questions have surfaced over the years about whether Floyd has managed his fortune wisely or if the endless exhibitions and public displays are signs of financial strain Floyd Mayweather's Financial prowess has been under the microscope before with critics accusing him of Reckless spending habits despite having raked in an estimated $12 billion throughout his career Floyd's extravagant lifestyle might not align with the idea of financial stability chilling in the ewb rollsroyce for those that don't know what a ewb is that's an extended will base Rolls-Royce I need the leg Mo I know I ain't that tall from the outside it's easy to see why people think Mayweather might not be as rich as he claims his Instagram is filled with images and videos of him flashing huge wads of cash wearing multi-million dollar watches and cruising around in rare luxury cars this constant display of wealth for many signals two things either Mayweather has more money than most could dream of or he's overcompensating and covering up Financial issues Hearn in his comments and emphasized that even though Mayweather may still be well off his extravagant lifestyle could be eating away at his fortune when you have a lifestyle like that Hearn said the money goes fast indeed it's no secret that maintaining a fleet of cars Jets and a massive Entourage doesn't come cheap for a man who has always prided himself on being smarter than most in the business of boxing Mayweather's spending could be his Achilles heel there's also the fact that Mayweather still frequently steps back into the ring albeit in exhibition fights while these matches may not hold the same Prestige as his professional bouts they are undoubtedly lucrative since retiring from professional boxing in 2017 Mayweather has fought in multiple exhibition bouts including a high-profile clash with YouTuber Logan Paul and a fight with English reality TV star Aaron Chalmers but the question remains why is Mayweather a man who once earned $300 million in a single night still fighting arold Schwarzenegger limited edition AP All Factory 1.8 million right here the $20 bills section we like to call this the Andrew Jackson section but I like to call it wallpaper Mayweather's most famous post-retirement fight was undoubtedly his 2017 clash with UFC star Connor McGregor that fight alone earned him a staggering payday but instead of settling into a comfortable retirement Floyd has continued to participate in exhibition bouts his opponents have ranged from mixed martial artists to social media influencers which has left many questioning if Mayweather's return to the ring is purely for entertainment or if it's financially motivated in his recent exhibition fights Mayweather faced Logan Paul Aaron Chalmers and John Gotti III the grandson of the infamous New York mobster these fights while heavily publicized lacked The Prestige and gravitas of Mayweather's earlier career yet despite the criticism Floyd continues to step into the ring which only adds fuel to the fire of hearn's argument if Mayweather truly had the wealth he claims would he still be fighting and I don't want nobody [ __ ] with me if I go on vacation my fault when I go on vacation for 30 days I take 30 watches with me the fact that Mayweather is scheduled for another exhibition fight later this month against John got theii only raises more eyebrows their first fight which took place in June of last year was far from the technical Masterpiece fans expect from Mayweather instead it was marred by excessive trash talking and it ended in chaos after the referee stopped the fight in the sixth round Gotti III ignoring the referee's decision kept moving forward sparking a brawl between the fighters and their teams given that their last match didn't exactly showcase Mayweather's technical Brilliance the rematch feels more like a money grab than a serious fight the idea that Mayweather 7 years into his retirement is still putting on the gloves for these kinds of spectac only adds to the narrative that he's chasing paydays rather than preserving his legacy at the heart of this conversation is the question of whether Floyd Mayweather is financially stable on paper the numbers suggest that he should be having earned over a billion dollars in his career Mayweather should be set for life but those who have been close to him in including Hearn seem to have doubts Mayweather's decision to keep fighting long after his professional career ended leads many to believe that he might be struggling to maintain the lifestyle he has cultivated his lavish spending habits are well documented and while he's known for his business ventures ranging from promotions to endorsements it's unclear how successful those have been in comparison to his boxing career despite the questions surrounding his finances Floyd Mayweather remains a showman and he is gearing up for his eighth exhibition match late this month the rematch against John Gotti III is set for August 24th and fans are curious to see how it will [Music] unfold face will it be another chaotic spectacle or will Mayweather remind the world why he was once considered the best defensive fighter in the sport regardless of the outcome one thing is clear Floyd Mayweather is still in the business of making money money whether or not he's as wealthy as he claims his desire to stay relevant and earn paychecks shows no signs of slowing down money made that's all I do is get money today is a rose gold day as you can see onor Schwarzenegger limited edition AP All Factory so is Floyd Mayweather chasing money the evidence certainly points that way but as long as he's making headlines and stacking checks it seems Mayweather is more than content to let the world keep guessing what's your take share our thoughts below and don't forget to like And subscribe for more see you
