The much-anticipated rematch between Oscar Dela Hoya and Floyd Mayweather turned out to be a disappointment to boxing fans worldwide due to the retirement of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. from boxing Friday last week.
The announcement was actually the fourth (if I’m not mistaken) made by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. after announcing his retirement in 2006 just after his fight with Baldomir, and twice in 2007 after fighting Dela Hoya and Hatton for the Middleweight championship titles.
If this is just another Mayweather strategy to get more money out of the fight with Dela Hoya, then only time will tell. At any rate, disappointed fans have already expressed their sentiments on forums and other online media. Tickets of the rematch have been sold since November last year and it was as if the fight will proceed without any hitch.
