Oscar De La Hoya Gets Called Out by Fans for ‘Beefing With Everyone’

The Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya and British Sports Promoter, Eddie Hearn  have been locking horns every now and then over the boxers whom they promote. Recently, Eddie expressed his disdain over how the former Olympics gold medalist openly criticized Ryan Garcia despite being his promoter. 

The former WBO Super Featherweight champion had failed to attend his protege’s post-fight press conference in April after the latter had suffered defeat at the hands of an undefeated boxing champion. Tension had been brewing between Oscar De La Hoya and Ryan Garcia ever since the conference took place.

Why Oscar De La Hoya Confronted Eddie?

The former WBC Interim Lightweight title, Ryan Garcia, was roped in by Golden Boy Promotions Founder Oscar De La Hoya when he was just 17 years old. He has renewed his contract with the combat sport promotional firm over the years and happens to be one of their oldest clients.

On April 22nd this year, the world’s sixth-best active Junior Welterweight champion was knocked down by the three-weight- division world champion Gervonta Davis at Las Vegas, Nevada. This mega fight led to the first loss in Ryan Garcia’s career and he was seen exchanging a war of words on social media. 

The WBC Silver Lightweight title holder spoke about the lack of support that he experienced from his team. He even felt that Gervonta Davis’ team cared about him more than his home team since his pound-for-pound mentor had abandoned him post the fight.

Things got more heated after the promoter and ‘The Flash’ were seen indulging in a blame game over Instagram.

The chairman of Matchroom Sport Eddie Hearn did not mince his words when he witnessed the darts on social media. He remarked, “The one thing you have to do when you see a relationship like that, a professional relationship sliding away, you’ve got to get together, and you’ve got to try and mend that.” However, the 1992 Olympics winner Oscar De La Hoya did not appreciate the fact that Eddie was interfering and intimidated him on Twitter.

Fans React to the threat issued by ‘The Golden Boy’

Fans, too, did not waste any time and started voicing their opinion on social media.

A fan was surprised at the warning and wrote:

Another fan wrote how Oscar De La Hoya was interested in picking a fight with everyone he came across.

A fan humorously enquired whether Oscar would begin cross-dressing again.

While another fan suggested that Eddie Hearn was trying to instigate the former boxer’s biggest money earner for his own sake.

Well, what do you make of the warning that Mexican- American gladiator Oscar De La Hoya directed towards WBA’s biggest promoter, Eddie Hearn?
