From: TheSportsPoint

Boxer Oscar De La Hoya is in talks to buy a 50% stake in the MLS champion, Houston Dynamo. While the Golden Boy has sure had his successes in the ring, he is making quite a name for himself in the business world as well through his company, Golden Boy Entertainment. His company owns boxing and wrestling publications that he bought from Kappa Publishing Group this past September. Among the magazines he now oversees are the popular boxing reads, The Ring Magazine and KO Magazine. De La Hoya's company is in talks with the Dynamo's investor-operator Anschutz Entertainment Group and a deal is eminent and expected to be reached on Friday when the two groups meet.

As far as in the ring goes, next on De La Hoya's plate is a tune up for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather. He will fight the immortal Steve Forbes on May 3. The De La Hoya-Mayweather rematch is scheduled for September of this year, Mayweather defeated De La Hoya in a split decision last May.
