Boxing is a sport where ferocious competitiveness coexists with a culture of support and loyalty. A fighter brings not only their own reputation into the ring but also that of their promoter. There were numerous questions raised when Ryan Garcia attended his post-fight press conference without his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya. Boxing fans and even past fighters, like Jamel Herring, flocked to Twitter to express their disapproval of this omission.

Herring’s tweet sparked a discussion about the importance of promoters’ support for their fighters, especially in their moments of defeat. The absence of De La Hoya from Garcia’s post-fight presser after his loss to Gervonta Davis not only left many wondering but also raised questions about the relationship between the fighter and his promoter.
