Former boxing great Oscar De La Hoya is doing everything in his power to stop UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor and boxing icon Floyd Mayweather from ever stepping into the boxing ring together. With McGregor’s side of a boxing deal now finalized, a fight between the two alphas of their respective sports is looking more possible than ever before. Something that terrifies Oscar De La Hoya. He took to his  official Facebook  to release a lengthy letter: To my fellow #boxing fans: I write in the hopes that together we can protect the sport of boxing. With each passing day, it looks more and more likely that the circus known as Floyd Mayweather Vs. Conor McGregor will be coming to town in the near future. As undercard fights start to take form, athletic commissions give their blessings in exchange for millions of dollars and the fighters start counting even more cash, one group will eventually be left to make sure this farce does...

The guest list was also one for the books, bringing together everyone from Destiny's Child's co-members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to high-profile pals like La La Anthony, Vanessa Bryant, and Serena Williams, who is also curr...

Throughout its 146 year history, the massive, traveling circus elated crowds from small towns to big cities across America with its exotic animals, mile-long trains and death-defying feats — but not without courting its fair share of controversy. As Ringling Bros. prepares to take its final bow before a sold-out crowd at Nassau Coliseum in the suburbs of New York City, circus performers and enthusiasts lamented the shutting down of "The Greatest Show on Earth." Yet animal rights activists who have sparred with Ringling for years said the end could not come soon enough. Ringling Bros. Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson told NBC News the show was "one of these wonderful dynamic miracles in the annals of time, and that's where it's going." "It'll be in the memories of many people...
