What was said
"I don't understand why Oscar De La Hoya is now I'm going to name names. I don't understand why Oscar would have to go on Instagram Live and say, nobody wants to watch this fight. It's like, what is the point of that? Think about that. Like, I'm your fighter."
Ryan Garcia alleges his promoter Oscar De La Hoya publicly undermined the upcoming Conor Benn bout by suggesting there is little interest, despite Golden Boy’s co-promoter role. Garcia says he has not spoken to De La Hoya since Mario Barrios fight week and questions why his promoter would talk down the event.
