Let\u2019s do this. Let\u2019s do this under Canelo [Alvarez], Cinco de Mayo. I\u2019ll even give you five months so you can get off the juice, and then we can get in great shape and then we go three rounds. Look, I\u2019m going to give you what, a 50 pound advantage? It\u2019s ok. I can take you on. Let\u2019s do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took Dana White awhile, but he has finally answered this callout from Oscar De La Hoya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He responded on ESPN&#8217;s <em>Now or Never<\/em> this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/af2L14YUYk0?t=83\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Listen Oscar called me out,&#8221; he said with a big laugh. &#8220;He&#8217;s an idiot. When you&#8217;re a moron like he is, you have to fight. Yeah I&#8217;ll fight Oscar De La Hoya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Not boxing though,&#8221; he added, clarifying that this ridiculous fight would have to occur in the cage under the MMA rule set. &#8220;Not boxing. Normally when these types of challenges go out, I say &#8216;I&#8217;ll box him.&#8217; I&#8217;m not boxing Oscar De La Hoya.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chances of this fight happening, of course, are immeasurably miniscule.
