Oscar De La Hoya got into the bad books of Dana White when he ridiculed the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather boxing match. As a result, the UFC President and he continue to trade barbs at each other.
Recently, White indicated that ‘The Golden Boy’ was making a comeback as he needed money for expensive recreational substances.
Not to miss out on an opportunity to hit back, De La Hoya slammed the sports fans for not tuning in to watch boxing. The former boxer tweeted, “It’s a f*****g embarrassment that sports-starved fans are flocking to baseball and the UFC, & largely ignoring the greatest sport in the world. I have been working tirelessly day and night with our partners at DAZN to get a Canelo fight done ASAP and get our sport back on track.”
