De La Hoya Trolls Garcia For Hanging Around With Mayweather

Oscar De La Hoya has trolled Ryan Garcia for appearing to link himself with Floyd Mayweather Jr

This comes amid the tension between the two, as a lawsuit was filed by both sides over a contractual dispute.

Garcia alleged a breach on contract. In response, the Golden Boy Promoter stated that he was merely making the star honor his contract.

In response, Garcia did file a motion to dismiss the Golden Boy lawsuit on the grounds that mediation was required first.

“Ryan Garcia filed a motion to dismiss GBP’s suit against him Monday in Nevada, which was obtained by ESPN. Garcia argues his contract stipulates that any disagreement be mediated first. GBP filed suit against Garcia in June to enforce its contract,” Mike Coppinger said

In the meantime, though, Garcia has appeared to align himself with Mayweather, having visited the star at a basketball game and at his house.

And since Mayweather has stated that he would sign Garcia if he was available, De La Hoya has not appeared to take that well.

“I’m not looking to sign Ryan, but if he wants to sign and he’s free, I’d sign him. If I’m not mistaken, he’s under contract. Hypothetically, if Ryan Garcia gets free, will Ryan Garcia be with Mayweather Promotions or PBC? Absolutely. It’s only if he’s free. Who don’t want to work with the best,” Mayweather

“Good seeing you with the guy I beat [heart emoji],” De La Hoya said

In reality, it appears that Garcia and De La Hoya’s time together in the sport is running out. And if both sides continue to trade verbal shots at each other, then it is only a matter of time before they part ways.

And yet, Garcia is a cash cow in the division who is capable of generating lucrative amounts. After all, he made a reported $30 million against Gervonta Davis. 

Therefore, there is no reason why he cannot do that moving forward. And there is no getting away from that. You can stay up-to-date with the latest happenings in the world of boxing and MMA by visiting boxingblitz right here.
