De La Hoya vs. Mayweather [Rematch!]
June 11th, 2008 — Dizzy Dee, Sport
I am not at ALL a sporty person. In fact, I pretty much hate watching sport – on TV, live, doesn’t really matter. There are some variations which I can stomach, but nothing which I have a real passion for.
Until watching Nacho Libre, I honestly never knew that people actually paid, and they get paid LOTS of money to fight. Whether they win or lose. How crazy is that? Now I know you’re probably thinking, “where the hell has she been over the past couple of … well, DECADES”, but I’ve never really paid attention to all these fights. WWF, boxing, or even masked fighting.
By the way, I found , Nacho Libre a brilliant movie, and would probably watch it over a couple of times more.
More on topic now, if you’re interested in boxing, you might find it handy to know that the richest fight in boxing history is on the verge of getting a sequel, according to ESPN.
There’s most probably going to be a rematch between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather in September – either Saturday the thirteenth, or Saturday the twentieth.
Quoting MLive.com: “Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya looked for better options and rediscovered each other, an entirely predictable outcome after they produced the biggest fight in boxing history.
That distinction alone didn’t mandate a rematch — Mayweather-De La Hoya erased financial records held previously by Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson, a preordained beat down no one ever wanted to see again – but the relative competitiveness of their first fight, and dearth of alternatives, contributed in making Mayweather-De La Hoya II a virtual certainty.”
Mayweather/De La Hoya tickets are available online starting at a mere $891.00, going up as high as $15,675.00 for the first six rows, center floor.
For the loyal boxing fans, you better start saving up so long, and you might have to get another mortgage on your house, if you intend to sit in one of the first six rows.
South Africa Takes The World Cup… Go Bokke!!!
October 22nd, 2007 — Dizzy Dee, Rugby, South Africa, Sport, Worldcup
I don’t like sport really. Not to watch, and not to participate. But on Saturday it was the rugby world cup final, and South Africa was playing against England. People started getting ready for the game early on Saturday already — some people painted their faces, and cars with the SA flag, and some slogans like “Go Bokke”…
In the afternoon they started driving up and down the streets, hooting (honking?), and screaming, singing and dancing, and of course – buying loads of booze. The truth is, South Africans started partying long before the game started, cause we all knew that we were going to win. Or if we didn’t know, maybe we hoped so much that it just had to come true…
Though it was not the best rugby game ever, (there wasn’t even ONE tri!), South Africa still won, which was the whole point!
So this post is entirely dedicated to the South African Springboks, champions of the world cup 2007 
We are proud of you!!
