De La Hoya: “Mayweather was looking for attention with Rizin”

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya is not buying that Floyd Mayweather had any intention of fighting kickboxing sensation Tenshin Nasukawa on December 31 in Tokyo, Japan and believes Mayweather was simply looking for some quick attention in the press. “I think he just wants attention. That’s all it is, and Floyd is a fighter who should just stick to boxing," De La Hoya told MMA Junkie. “Making up these special rules, it’s ridiculous. If you’re going to box, then box inside the ring. If you want to become an MMA fighter, why limit yourself and set the rules so there’s no kicks or grappling? “If you want to get involved and be in the MMA world, then do it. Don’t set the rules. I just think he should stick to boxing. That’s what he knows best. But he can’t help himself. If he ever fights a Khabib inside the octagon, c’mon, we all know what’s going to happen. That fight’s going to end in one minute – or 30 seconds.”
