A year ago, Canelo Alvarez broke into the news headlines after parting ways with his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya. The pound-for-pound boxing king even filed a lawsuit against ‘The Golden Boy’, thus accusing him of cheating. But the duo settled their dispute and mutually broke their longtime partnership.
Recently, in a conversation with Telemundo, the Mexican boxer unveiled his notion on Oscar De La Hoya.
He said, “At some point (De La Hoya) disappointed me because they are people who only look out for their own good and their own interests. They say ‘I am your friend, we are family’, but it is never like that. And we are loyal, but not all people are like that,” (h/t Boxing Scene)

The unified super-middleweight champ admitted that De La Hoya and his promotion didn’t manipulate him, but they wanted to gamble different things on him. Alvarez sensed that and separated from ‘Golden Boy’.
The Mexican, Alvarez, opted to be a free agent in the boxing world, but recently, he signed a two-fight deal with the Matchroom. Currently, he’s preparing for his May 8 fight with the Brit Billy Joe Saunders for the unified 168-pound title clash, which will be the last fight of his contract with Matchroom.
