Recently, Garcia was in a chat with Fight Hub TV. In the interaction, he talked about why the Pacquiao fight fell through and why his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya’s comments, didn’t impress him.
“Well, Oscar, he just likes to contradict himself. It’s all good, it’s all love man, it’s not my fault ever. I always say yes to everything. If a fight ever falls through, it’s because of the opposite side.”
