I caught a couple episodes of the HBO 24/7 Documentary on the De la Hoya/Mayweather fight and now I am hooked. Mayweather is straight thug (50 and his ex-con father in his corner), and De la Hoya is straight Mr. Nice Guy (Matthew McConaughey, Barack Obama in his corner). This fight is going to be crazy. Right now it is a 50/50 split as to who will win.
Too bad I don't get to Puerto Rico until after this fight. De la Hoya is an honorary Boricua (his wife is 100%) and they are batshit crazy about him down there, with bootleg towels, blankets and tees being sold on the side of the highway all the time whether there is a fight coming up or not. On top of that he has been training there for the past 3 months and he is pretty much one of their own now.
I might have to order this bit of sanctioned violence for Saturday night or find a place to watch these two beat each other's asses.
