Oscar De La Hoya And Holly Sonders turn their raunchy dance video into a PSA, calling on anyone who sees it to get their prostate and breasts checked.
TMZ Sports has obtained a response clip from the power couple after they made headlines in Mexico last week for publicly recording themselves dancing… and they say the whole thing was part of a bigger plan to get everyone’s attention for a good cause – the “Tanga and Ta-tas” awareness program.

“A lot of you thought we were crazy with our first video, but we really just wanted to raise awareness about the boobs and dicks because it’s that time of year when you have to get a prostate exam and a mammogram,” a bikini-clad Sonders said in the video.
“Let’s beat cancer!” added De La Hoya, still in a small banana hammock.
Sonders added that the couple paid $50,000 out of their own pockets to facilitate the screenings at Adventist White Memorial Hospital in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles… and that the timing of their viral dance was deliberate—since September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
“We hope our light-hearted video raises awareness about two diseases that are not funny at all – we want to do everything we can to give men and women the access they need to stay healthy for their families,” De La Hoya and Sonders said in a joint statement.
“We want the topic to become less taboo in society and to spread the message that people should get checked early and annually.”
ODLH has been an advocate for breast cancer awareness for years…since his mother, Cecilia Gonzalez De La Hoya, passed away from the disease in the 1990s. Since then, he has made countless charitable donations…and the Adventist White Cancer Center is named in his mother’s honor.
De La Hoya made a splash on the internet with their original video—and even received a $500,000 offer from CamSoda for an encore—but the joke’s on us, they had a much more important end goal.
