Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Oscar De La Hoya boxing match is expected to bring in butt-loads of cash

A match that can very well be dubbed as ''The Pretty Boy vs. The Golden Boy'' will definitely bring in lots of cash for boxing circles.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. knows it too. Heck, the guy stood in a ring recently to fling some cash at an HBO camera that has followed him over the past few weeks for the four-part TV series, ''24/7: De La Hoya – Mayweather.''

''My name is Floyd, my name is Floyd,'' the cocky Floyd Mayweather Jr. sang, releasing the bills in a tempo that matched yet another one of his silly antics. ''My name is Money. Mayweather.''

If every major PPV boxing bout is about money, then Saturday night's World Boxing Council junior middleweight title bout between ''Pretty Boy'' Oscar De La Hoya and ''The Golden Boy'' Floyd Mayweather Jr. is even more so.

Their goal is to shatter the record of 1.99 million pay-per-view buys, set in 1997 in the second fight between Evander ''The Real Deal'' Holyfield and ''Iron'' Mike Tyson, or the $112 million in revenue recorded in June 2002 for the Tyson – Lennox Lewis bout, which was bought by 1.97 million homes.

The bout has already broken the record in Nevada for live boxing gate receipts, selling out $19 million in tickets at the MGM Grand Arena in three hours. The promoter, De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, is looking to set a new financial standard for closed-circuit revenue and merchandise.

Of course, the entire Hispanic community just might help them do just that as they will be looking forward for this match with their hero, Oscar De La Hoya probably in his last days boxing.

''We feel boxing is a place where Tecate can project its image as a bold, authentic Mexican brand,'' Eduardo Casas, the Tecate brand director said. ''And Oscar is the pride and joy of the Hispanic community.''

Let's see if he'll still be that once Mayweather knocks him out cold. He he...

Can Oscar De La Hoya shut Mayweather up or will Floyd Mayweather Jr. show De La Hoya why he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world? Bodog has the odds.
