Previous Quote

I understand boxing has been around for so long, and it's old money. The sport has such a history, I just don't understand how it's even a competition though.

Next Quote

By the time I retire, I will have fought the best. I will have made my money. Maybe I'll be a boxing commentator. I'll go back to school, definitely. I already have a plan. My life's set. I'll be on an island, married, playing golf in the sun. That will be my life.

— Oscar De La Hoya
