By Robert Elmore: When Floyd Mayweather took on Oscar De La Hoya in 2007, Floyd had to concede everything in order to make the mega fight happen. The weight, gloves, ring size, and purse where all stacked in the Golden Boy’s favor. Mayweather didn’t complain one bit. He understood that in order to crossover and become pay per view king, he would have to put his pride aside to end up where he is today.
I would dare to say, Floyd was looking at years down the road, rather just right then. The gamble paid off. The fight became the highest grossing fight in boxing history in pay per view buys and in total revenue. Mayweather has gone on to break records and collect huge pay days since that time. But Oscar was the key to his success.
