Ricardo Mayorga vs. Oscar De La Hoya
Ricardo Mayorga vs. Oscar De La Hoya, billed as "Danger Zone", was a professional boxing match contested on May 6, 2006 for the WBC light– middleweight championship.
==Background==
Oscar De La Hoya's previous fight had taken place on September 18, 2004. De La Hoya, then the WBO middleweight champion, met undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins, who held the other three major middleweight titles of WBA, WBC and IBF and had not lost a fight in 11 years. Though De La Hoya, who was participating in only his second middleweight fight, held his own with the more experiences Hopkins (who had spent his entire 16-year career in the middleweight division at the time of the fight) through the first eight rounds, he would ultimately lose by knockout in the ninth round after catching a shot to liver.〔(Hopkins Is the First to Knock Out De La Hoya ), N.Y. Times article, 2004-09-19, Retrieved on 2014-02-27〕 There had been rumors of De La Hoya possibly retiring after the loss to Hopkins, but De La Hoya hinted that he would continue his career, stating that he was a "better fighter then what I showed".〔(De La Hoya hints he won't quit on losing note ), Chicago Tribune article, 2004-09-20, Retrieved on 2014-02-27〕 De La Hoya then took a 20-month hiatus, sitting out all of 2005, before announcing in January 2006 that he would return to the light–middleweight division to challenge Ricardo Mayorga for the WBC light-middleweight title in May of that year.〔(De La Hoya plans to go out swinging ), Chicago Tribune article, 2006-01-25, Retrieved on 2014-02-27〕
The pre–fight hype included months of intense trash-talk, mostly from Mayorga, and incidents in which the two fighters had to be separated to prevent a brawl from erupting. The antics started in February when the two were involved in a shoving match while in California filming a commercial to promote their fight. Things would only intensify as Mayorga would continue to bash De La Hoya at their first press conference. Among Mayorga's many insults were accusing De Le Hoya of taking a dive in his match with Hopkins, calling him a "faggot", insulting both De La Hoya's wife and son, making crotch grabbing gestures towards De La Hoya and his fans and vowing to make De La Hoya "his bitch." 〔(De La Hoya and Mayorga involved in shoving match ), Fight Reports.com article, 2006-02-28, Retrieved on 2014-03-04〕 Mayorga also threatened to pull out of the fight only days before it was to happen if he did not receive more money. However, he rescinded his threat after his promoter Don King increased his $2 million purse by another $500,000.〔(De La Hoya Dodges Mayorga Ploy to Back Out ), N.Y.
