“I’d Have Stood There Right Behind Him”: Amid Oscar De La Hoya-Ryan Garcia Lawsuit, Floyd Mayweather Ropes in Gervonta Davis While Emphasizing on Loyalty

Boxing – a sport of punches, jabs, and knockouts. Yet, sometimes, words hit harder than fists. In a world obsessed with wins and losses, loyalty remains an odd currency. Amidst a swirling storm of controversies and headlines, Floyd Mayweather surfaces again. Not for a punch, but a sentiment. A sentiment so profound that it has shaken the very foundations of the boxing community.

But wait, haven’t we heard it all before from Mayweather? The bravado, the swagger, the controversial comments? Think again. This isn’t the Floyd you know. As Oscar De La Hoya and Ryan Garcia’s lawsuit grabs eyeballs, Mayweather throws in a twist. No, not in the ring, but off it. Curious? You should be.

Floyd Mayweather weighs in: The Oscar De La Hoya-Ryan Garcia saga

Just when you thought the boxing world had reached its peak in drama, the legal battle between Oscar De La Hoya and his prodigy, Ryan Garcia, enters the scene. Accusations of contractual breach and financial mismanagement are flying, capturing headlines and stirring debates. It’s a mess, to say the least, further fragmenting an already complex relationship within the boxing community.

Seizing the moment, Floyd Mayweather, a name synonymous with boxing itself, breaks his silence. His words, unlike his punches, come cautiously but carry weight. “I could really say something negative, I could really say something positive. But when it’s all said and done, Oscar De La Hoya is not my promoter,” Mayweather asserts. “He was once an opponent of mine and we all approach situations in a different way.”

Switching gears, Mayweather shifts the focus to his mentee, Gervonta “Tank” Davis. He says, “Whether Tank was to win or he was to be on the other side and take a loss, I would’ve stood there right behind him, a 100 percent.” His message underscores a stark contrast to the De La Hoya-Garcia controversy. Instead of washing dirty laundry in public, ‘Pretty Boy’ emphasizes the importance of loyalty.

Moreover, he delves into the theme of mentorship. “Tank went out on social media, but I’m right there,” Mayweather continues. “He’s young, so if I’m with you, I’m with you through the good, bad, and ugly.”

Garcia’s Miami moment with Mayweather and Ross

Ryan Garcia, fresh off his loss to Gervonta Davis, made headlines again but this time outside the ring. Spotted at Miami’s BOXR gym with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, Garcia’s presence drew attention, especially with internet sensation Adin Ross in tow. While a live stream by Ross irked Mayweather, who emphasized the value of his footage, tensions seemed to have eased later.

The trio even posed for a photo, later shared by Garcia on his Instagram, captioning it “shenanigans.” However, when Garcia showcased his skills against Ross in a friendly spar, dropping him with a body shot, boxing fans didn’t hold back their opinions. Some lauded his antics, while others questioned his intentions, hinting at his recent in-ring performance.
