De La Hoya and Mayweather head to Super Bowl before May 5 Super Fight.

LOS ANGELES - Before they get down to their own serious business, the stars of this year&Mac226;s biggest fight, "The Golden Bo" Oscar De La Hoya and the "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather, are headed to football's biggest game. De La Hoya and Mayweather, who face each other May 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, will attend Super Bowl in Miami, taking part in the weekend activities surrounding the biggest event in sports.

Both fighters will conduct interviews among the throngs of journalists covering the event, including the NFL Network, ESPN and a pass through the infamous radio row. The duo will also walk a red carpet with other top sports and celebrity names as they have been invited to attend the NFL Players, Maxim and Sports Illustrated parties while in town.

'It's one of the most exciting, well-covered and watched event in sports," said De La Hoya. "We have the opportunity to let all of those people, fans and the media, know that this year there's another Super Sports Event happening in May and that's our fight."

"I can't wait to get to town," said Mayweather. "I get to witness the first time two African American coaches are in the Super Bowl and help plant the seed for our fight before we kick-off our own promotion February 20."

De La Hoya and Mayweather will officially announce their fight through a planned 11-city media tour later this month.

In the most anticipated fight to hit the sport in decades, six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya will meet unbeaten, four-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Saturday, May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, the fight will be televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View.
