The Boxing match between the legendary UFC Georges St-Pierre and the legendary Boxing Oscar de La Hoya has become a matter of attention recently. The attention not only comes from the fact that these are two big names but also because UFC President Dana White has ensured Georges St-Pierre must not step on the boxing station with De La Hoya.
The reason for this is because Dana White and Oscar de la Hoya have long been involved. The reaction of the world martial arts community is very negative because not long ago, Ben Askren – another boxer also owed contract with UFC – was “debted” by Dana White and found the coach to prepare for the match with Jake Paul.
Although the match will never happen, it is still a broad discussion. A few days ago, St-Pierre revealed the law proposed for the boxing match and a few details of his percentage in his remuneration will be used as charity.
“The problem with the UFC law is a really dangerous sport that you may be seriously damaged. In Boxing, there are many ways to adjust it,” St-Pierre said. “For example, I was asked to compete with Oscar de la Hoya, but the rules were different because we both had retired.”
“We will bring pairs of larger gloves than usual, each half, the match will have 8 rounds. Therefore, different terms to fit, to make it more like a performance,” St-Pierre continued. “This set is less dangerous. Part of the profit, part of our remuneration will be given to a charity.
Unfortunately, the match did not happen, but it would be fun. It is another form of entertainment and with boxing, you can adjust it like this – you can change gloves – in MMA, you really can't do it. “
