La Hoya vs. Mayweather: The World Awaits at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas was THE boxing super welterweight championship. On May 5, 2007, six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya and four-division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. met, with the split decision going Floyd Mayweather Jr. over Oscar De La Hoya in 12 rounds.
It was contested at 154 pounds, with De La Hoya defending his WBC light middleweight championship. Mayweather captured the World Boxing Council (WBC) light middleweight title. Between them, Mayweather and De La Hoya have leveled the playing field at 147 pounds and below.
Now, on September 20, 2008, De La Hoya and Mayweather are going to have another super fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Producers are looking to duplicate the 2007 record of $134.4 million in pay-per-view revenue and $18.4 million in live gate.
De La Hoya has not fought since losing to Mayweather, while Mayweather has been active despite his talk of retirement. Perhaps the proceeds from this next mega-fight will provide his golden parachute for a worry-free retirement.
The De La Hoya vs Mayweather tickets are already on sale. Expect to pay from $891 per ticket for upper row balcony, to $2475 per ticket at the club level, all the way to $15,675 for the first six rows on the floor, If you are interested, I would not delay in purchasing tickets.
I think Mayweather will probably take De La Hoya. In a strange twist, De La Hoya has been training wih Mayweather’s father.

Unofficial winners of the 2008 Texas Water Safari that started at 9 am on Saturday. You may find more information on the remaining entrants on On3Go.com.
Yes, there are still people on the river at 3:34 am on Tuesday. It is a demanding race. I will try to get more updated records posted. I believe there were some records broken during this race.
