Oscar De La Hoya is venturing into MMA promotion, with his first show set for Saturday, November 24th at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The main event is the trilogy bout between MMA legends and longtime UFC rivals Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, both of whom will get career paydays if we’re to believe De La Hoya. It was only a few months ago that Oscar himself said that MMA fighter pay structure “gets me sick to my stomach.”
Liddell and Ortiz are the runaway top earners, per the California State Athletic Commission. Chuck is getting $250,000, while Tito gets $200,000, and neither one receives a win bonus.
