During the HBO Boxing broadcast of Antonio Margarito vs. Shane Mosley on Saturday night commentator Larry Merchant remarked that Oscar De La Hoya was paid $5 million for his personal involvement in Affliction’s “Day of Reckoning”.
De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions was involved with both cards, which took place within 30-minutes of each other in southern California.
