Boxer and property investor try to revitalize Latino districts
Tagged: oscar de la hoya, police, teacher“Oscar de la Hoya and John Long are unlikely business partners: one a championship boxer who is the son of Mexican immigrants, the other a successful but relatively obscure real estate mogul who came to the United States from China as a boy.
