The timing is pretty crazy. He must have been fishing pills out of a toilet or something. Good luck to the golden boy.

Oscar De La Hoya has admitted himself to a treatment facility as he continues to fight his substance abuse.
The former boxer issued a statement Tuesday saying he voluntarily admitted himself to an unnamed facility. The move comes on the eve of the biggest fight of the year for his promotion company Saturday night when Floyd Mayweather Jr. takes on Canelo Alvarez.
"Canelo Alvarez and I have big fights coming up this weekend. His is the ring and mine in treatment," De La Hoya said in a statement. "I will not be at the fight to cheer Canelo to victory since I have voluntarily admitted myself into a treatment facility.

The Golden Boy has become a complete joke. It's sad because he was one of my idols in the world of sports growing up.
I believe this is the second time in the last year that he's gone to rehab for alcohol/cocaine or whatever.
This is really an F U to Canelo because Oscar is the one who's held him by the hand for many years and pumped him up to the boxing world and called him the next big thing.....and now, just before the biggest fight of his pro career, Oscar bails on him and goes to rehab.
Honestly, Oscar knows Canelo is gonna get his arse whipped and he doesn't wanna be there to face it. Otherwise, he would have waited another week before leaving.

I agree, he must have been really fricked up! He probably knew partying on a fight night in Vegas was going to kill him or something. I also wish him luck on his recovery, it's gotta be HARD to stay sober after being an addict when you have money like he does.
