Jay Z isn’t one to renege on a bet. The Roc Nation mogul paid Oscar De La Hoya the $100K he owed him when Miguel Cotto took an L to Canelo Alvarez, and an LA hospital is set to benefit.
Reports TMZ:
As we previously reported, Jay bet Oscar a cool $100k that his Roc Nation Sports fighter Miguel Cotto would beat Oscar’s Golden Boy Promotions fighter Canelo Alvarez during their big bout this past weekend.
Canelo won … and now, we’ve confirmed that Jay has already paid up.
Oscar tells TMZ Sports the money was wired over immediately … and will be used to help people at an L.A. hospital.
“Thanks to Jay Z, thousands of patients at White Memorial Medical Center will also be winners.” Oscar says … “I don’t imagine [Jay’s] excited about losing $100k, but he can take some comfort in knowing that it’s going to a good cause.”
Respect.
Can you say Jay Z really lost, though, considering…
