He blamed the rape for his near-death descent into booze and drugs. He was thirteen when he lost his virginity over rape. Likewise, he kept the traumatic experience within himself for years.

Hoya said,

“You’re living this life, the Golden Boy, but, ‘Oh s–t! That’s still there. I never processed this, like, really thought how my feelings are reacting or processing.”

To deal with the experience he started boozing it up trying to forget things. He admitted that he was still drinking in the weeks leading up to his fights against Manny Pacquiao, persuading himself that it was OK because he was imbibing high-end red wines from Napa Valley.
