Get ready for the dazzling boxing competition between six division world champion Oscar De La Hoya and undefeated four division champion Floyd Mayweather.Surely the math will be one of the most lucrative boxing matches ever. Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya rocked the box offices when they met last time, and now its time for a rematch. According to Richard Schaefer CEO of Golden Boy Promotions the match will probably take place on September 13 or 20 ,2008.

Backed by a rigorous promotion of five-months, which contained an 11-city cross-country tour program and HBO’s reality show series “De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7,” the first fight rocked boxing box office including total gross ($165 million); pay-per-view subscriptions (2.4 million); pay-per-view gross ($134.4 million) and live gate ($18,419,200).No thing to doubt the new match will reset its previous records. Things are going in such a tremendous way.

The rematch with De La Hoya would probably delay Mayweather promotion to mixed martial arts, which he has discussed with “Dancing with the Stars” pal and Dallas Mavericks (NBA basket ball team) owner Mark Cuban, who also owns a MMA promotional company.
