“I’m sure he’s going to have a good time and I’m sure the entertainment part of what he’s doing is going to be successful, and I’m not going to worry about him getting hurt, whatsoever,” De La Hoya continued: “Obviously, any visibility a fighter can have is great. Floyd Mayweather is doing a lot of touring and appearances, which is a plus for our September rematch. The more he does, the better.”
