Dana White's beef with Oscar de la Hoya
In the past eight years, Dana White has aimed many angry tirades on the boxing promoter of 'Scumbag'.
The two men fell out when De La Hoya publicly criticized Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor in a series of interviews prior to the 'Geldfecht' of August 2017.
White's anger at the six -time world champion Boxer reached new heights when he crossed to MMA.
The 57-year-old was furious about De la Hoya who brought Chuck Liddlell from his eight-year retirement for a trilogy fight with Tito Ortiz, who did not end up in a KO victory in the first round for the 'The Huntington Beach Bad Boy'
Since then, the only mention of the name Van de la Hoya is sufficient to ruin the Night of White.
The most famous, the UFC CEO burned the Mexican boxing legend a bag of S-ending a rant days of 15 minutes after the two men had exchanged angry social media messages about hunter in September 2021.
“He is a lying, hypocritical, two-dressed bag of s-en I hate him so much that I like to prove that he is a lying, hypocritical, two faces bag of s-” White said before he dredged a load of facts versus MMA Fighter Pay.
He added: “I could continue, but I think we all get it f – the point. He is a liar. And there is so much more about the La Hoya.
“The list continues. Imagine that if I still owed a hunter of F – and a year ago, you would crucify me every day. This guy, nobody gives like -.
And the only reason [I’m responding to him]I just despise him so badly that every time he lies f – ng, I point to it, and yet people don't give it like -. “
Canelo Alvarez hates his former promoter
De la Hoya worked for years as a promoter of Canelo for their bitter break in 2020.
Alvarez sued Golden Boy and his temporary partner, claimed a breach of contract and the search for at least $ 280 million damage before all parties went their own way after an agreement was taken behind the scenes.
Just like White, Canelo often explodes when asked questions about De La Hoya during interviews.
The former business partners have been taking photos of each other in the media for several years.
In May 2024 they Herden on stage and things became ugly when they tried to promote a fight between Canelo and the La Hoya's newest Mexican superstar, Jaime Munguia.
The 52-year-old almost started a riot when he attacked Canelo Verbally during a press conference before the fight. Security had to intervene to prevent the old enemies from establishing their beef for the world's media.
“He insulted me and I don't want to allow that,” Alvarez said after the incident.
“I will [punch him]. When he got closer, I hit him. He is finished – a – hole.
“He doesn't care about his hunter because he tried to draw all the attention to him. He doesn't care about Jaime Munguia, his best week, his best fight. He just cares for himself.”
“You will see it. I am going to have that mother-the son of AB —-.”
