It’s been more than 15 years since a series of photos featuring legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya dressed in drag hit the web, but new details are regularly coming out about the incident courtesy of the man himself. Appearing on BET’s Breakfast Club podcast, ‘The Golden Boy’ revealed that he was understandably embarrassed when the photos were released to the public, but felt that he had the resources to simply make it all go away.
“Yeah, it was obviously [embarrassing] and I was in pain because it happened so fast, but I knew in the back of my head, I have enough power and money to make it disappear,” De La Hoya said.
