Oscar De La Hoya is no fan of the proposed matchup between UFC champion Conor McGregor and retired boxing legend Floyd Mayweather but he truly believes the fight could be catastrophic to the sport of boxing as a whole.
Mayweather penned a passionate letter about the fight that may be closer than ever to reality as McGregor and Mayweather look to finalize negotiations to put them together in a boxing match later this year.
De La Hoya argues that boxing is just now recovering from the fight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio and a matchup against McGregor is just a ‘farce’ that might drive the sport back down into a much deeper hole with fans.
