No One Understands The Economics Of Box-ing better than Oscar de la Hoya. Commanding $20 million per fight, the seven-time world champ has hauled in at least $150 million since 1993, the year after he turned pro. But with three or four big fights left in him, De la Hoya, 31, needs to plan his retirement. Two years ago he bought out a small promoter of fights and renamed it Golden Boy Promotions. Since then he has built a stable of 24 nationally ranked boxers―including himself. The first active world champion to promote other boxers, De la Hoya recruits hungry Hispanic fighters willing to train six hours a day, fight every two months and stay out of police reports. "We are providing fights that are competitive and entertaining," says De la Hoya, who, despite a few rough bouts, has kept his fashion-model looks. He predicts that he will net $56.65 million pretax this year on $120 million from ticket and television revenues. (De La Hoya's other fighters generate a fraction of that.)
