Los Angeles - Several copies of this weekend's title fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. that found their way onto Google's YouTube video-sharing site have been removed at the request of HBO, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The videos were available on YouTube until Monday afternoon. HBO still plans to air an exclusive rebroadcast of the bout on Saturday night.

The Times also reported that several copies of NBC's Kentucky Derby broadcast were also available on YouTube; an NBC spokesperson said the site was not authorized to show the race.
