Oscar De La Hoya and Holly Sonders are turning their raunchy dance video into a PSA of sorts … calling on everyone who tuned into it to get their prostates and boobs checked out.
TMZ Sports obtained a response clip from the power couple after they made headlines for shakin’ it for all to see in Mexico last week … 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.
8/18/24“So a lot of you thought we were crazy with the first video that we made, but all we really wanted to do was bring awareness to the ta-tas and to the peckers, because it is that time of year for you to get a prostate exam and a mammogram,” a bikini-clad Sonders said in the video.
“Let’s knock out cancer!!” De La Hoya — still donning a tiny banana hammock — added.
Sonders added the pair shelled out $50,000 of their own money to help provide screenings at the Adventist White Memorial Hospital in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles … and the timing of their viral dance was intentional — as September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

“We hope that our lighthearted video brings awareness to two diseases that are not funny at all — we want to do whatever we can to help provide men and women with access they need to remain healthy for their families,” De La Hoya and Sonders said in a joint statement.
“We want this to become less of a taboo subject in the community and spread the message that people should get checked early and annually.”
Breast cancer awareness is something ODLH has advocated for years … as his mother, Cecilia Gonzalez De La Hoya, passed from the disease in the 1990s. He has since made countless charitable contributions … and the Adventist White Cancer Center is named in his mom’s honor.
De La Hoya lit the internet on fire with their original vid — even landing a $500k offer from CamSoda to perform an encore — but joke’s on us, they had a much more important end goal.
