De La Hoya shared his thoughts in a now-deleted Instagram post during Thanksgiving, stirring up drama in the boxing world. De La Hoya first criticized Hearn’s handling of WBC Lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson . But things got personal when he mentioned rumors that Hearn is romantically involved with female boxer Skye Nicolson, who holds the WBC Featherweight title. According to De La Hoya, their relationship has been a topic of gossip in the boxing community since 2022. He went further, accusing Hearn of showing "preferential treatment" to Nicolson. De La Hoya pointed to a video of Hearn and Nicolson appearing "cozy" outside a club in Miami, claiming Hearn should have been focusing on promoting the big women's fight between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor , instead of making moves for ...

Photo: Floyd Mayweather (Instagram) Floyd Mayweather , one of the greatest boxers of all time, isn't done fighting. Even though he retired from professional boxing in 2017, he's been taking part in exhibition matches ever since. These fights have received criticism, with some calling them more like sparring sessions. Recently, Oscar De La Hoya called Mayweather's upcoming fight against John Gotti III "embarrassing." But Mayweather, 47, responded to the criticism on Instagram, saying he’s happy with his choices and that these fights are helping him make a lot of money. "Retirement isn't about slowing down," Mayweather said. "I worked hard to live life on my terms. If I can still earn millions, why not?" Mayweather explained that his exhibition fights give fans a chance to watch him in action. Since retiring, he’s fought eight exhibition matches, including one against YouTube star Logan Paul in 2021. In his last fight, Mayweather went eigh...

Mayweather, known for his undefeated record, has been participating in exhibition fights since retiring from professional boxing.  His most recent fight was a rematch with John Gotti III , which went all eight rounds without an official score. This fight followed their first bout, which ended in a chaotic brawl.

Photo: Instagram/Oscar De La Hoya Oscar De La Hoya has voiced a strong opinion on a hypothetical match-up between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in their primes. According to De La Hoya, Pacquiao would have won "easily." The real fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao in 2015, known as "The Fight of the Century," saw Mayweather win on points. Both boxers were world champions in multiple weight classes, but many fans felt the fight happened too late in their careers. De La Hoya, who has fought and lost to both Mayweather and Pacquiao, discussed the match-up in an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer. He believes Pacquiao's rigorous career and tough fights wore him down, giving Mayweather an edge in their actual bout. Photo: Instagram/Oscar De La Hoya “Pacquiao would have beaten him easily. In their prime? Absolutely,” De La Hoya stated. He explained that Pacquiao's more demanding career left him with more wear and tear, while Mayweather's c...

Photo: Instagram/Canelo Álvarez The tension between Canelo Álvarez and Oscar De La Hoya escalated dramatically during a pre-fight press conference in Las Vegas ahead of Álvarez's upcoming title bout with Jaime Munguía.  De La Hoya, speaking to reporters, launched a verbal assault on Álvarez, his former protege, which visibly agitated the Mexican boxing superstar. Álvarez, visibly upset, responded with fiery words, accusing De La Hoya of disrespect and attempting to cheat fighters out of their earnings. Their heated exchange culminated in a confrontational moment where Álvarez confronted De La Hoya directly, leading to a physical separation between the two. Photo: Instagram/Canelo Álvarez Álvarez's emotions were palpable as he expressed his frustration, alleging that De La Hoya had attempted to take advantage of him and other fighters financially. The animosity between Álvarez and De La Hoya dates back to Álvarez's departure from Golden Boy Promotions, the company owned by...

Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia Ryan Garcia has officially confirmed that he earned a staggering $30 million from his high-profile bout against Gervonta Davis , which headlined the Showtime PPV event in April. The fight proved to be a massive financial success, raking in a total of $100 million in revenue. Speculation arises that Davis likely received a purse ranging from $40 to $50 million, potentially leading to his absence from the ring this year. Given the substantial payday Davis received, some question whether he will be motivated enough to return to action soon, especially after his effortless seventh-round knockout victory over Garcia . The latter endured a liver shot and took a knee, prompting concerns about his willingness to challenge Davis again. Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia Oscar De La Hoya also revealed Garcia's $30 million earnings, although he expressed concerns about the 136-lb catchweight that Garcia had agreed to, as it seemed to weaken him during the fight. Never...

Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia Ryan Garcia has expressed his disappointment with his own team following his defeat to Gervonta 'Tank' Davis last April. According to Ryan, some members of his team did not show up at the post-fight press conference, leaving him to face the media alone. This experience made him realize that Davis' team seemed to care more about him than his own team did.   Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia As a result, Ryan decided to part ways with his trainer Joe Goosen and has reportedly not spoken to his promoter Oscar De La Hoya , who was absent from the press conference. Ryan believes that someone within his training camp betrayed him by providing information about his preparations to Davis' team. Although he does not reveal the identity of this person, Ryan is certain that they will not be given a second chance to betray him. He has now enlisted the services of a new trainer, Derrick James , and plans to work with different sparring partners for his next...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta Davis , the WBA "regular" lightweight champion, recently won against Ryan Garcia in a Showtime Pay-Per-View fight, and he credits his former promoter and five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. , for providing him with key advice. Davis had been promoted by Mayweather's company, Mayweather Promotions, for most of his career until his contract expired last year. He then started his own promotional company, GTD Promotions, and had Leonard Ellerbe as his adviser for the Garcia fight. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis owes much of his success to the guidance and support of his mentor Floyd Mayweather, who has helped him become one of the best fighters in the world. However, Mayweather was also present at the event and offered Davis words of encouragement throughout the fight. Davis dropped Garcia in the second round and finished him off with a heavy body shot in the seventh round. After the fight, Davis praised Mayweather fo...

Photo: Instagram/Oscar De la Hoya According to Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya, the highly anticipated fight between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia is still a "green light" from their perspective, as the sides appear to be close to signing and sealing the deal. Although there hasn't been an official announcement, De La Hoya remains positive about the negotiations and says that they are waiting for a formal contract to be returned to finalize everything. De La Hoya also addressed Davis' recent guilty plea in a hit-and-run case, but he doesn't believe it will have any impact on the fight, as Davis is all clear and can focus on training for the fight, which is expected to take place in April. Photo: Instagram/Oscar De la Hoya  The promoter is excited about the progress being made in the negotiations and is urging fans to "rev up those motors" for the big event. De La Hoya confirmed that the contract is on Davis' side and that they are revising it o...

Photo: Instagram/Oscar De La Hoya  Oscar De La Hoya, promoter for the upcoming Gervonta "Tank" Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight on April 15th on Showtime PPV, reported that they are finalizing "details" in the contract. De La Hoya confirmed that the fight will take place on the April 15th date and also mentioned the possibility of a trilogy in the future. He stated that if Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) defeats Davis (28-0, 26 KOs), there will be an immediate rematch. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis/Ryan Garcia  However, some boxing fans view this fight as a cash-out for Garcia, who has mostly faced mediocre opponents in his seven-year professional career and struggled against his only decent opponent, Luke Campbell, in 2021. De La Hoya expressed confidence in Garcia's victory and the potential for a trilogy, but acknowledged that if Garcia loses, it may be difficult to rebuild his career.
