Ryan Garcia and Oscar De La Hoya are once again at odds. The boxing duo have been working together for many years now, though there have been rough waters along the way, with Garcia blasting his promoter, and vice versa.
Those hard feelings came to the forefront once again recently, after De La Hoya revealed that he was not interested in booking a rematch between Garcia and Rolly Romero, who defeated “King Ryan” earlier this year. According to “The Golden Boy,” he has no interest in re-booking the rematch, citing a lackluster performance from both men.
“No, I actually don’t (like the idea),” De La Hoya said during a recent boxing event (via Bad Left Hook). “Because the first fight was a dull fight, and when you’re a promoter and you’re trying to make rematches, it’s because the people wanna see it. The first fight wasn’t that entertaining, the first fight wasn’t a big deal.”
Ring Magazine confirming that a rematch against Romero was likely not to happen, which didn’t sit too well with him. According to the young pugilist, he takes that as disrespect from his promoter.
“I’ve always tried to mend the relationship and be the bigger person. I’ve said in the past that families fight, and always put it aside. But it’s really hard to deal with a promoter who’s really involved with himself. He loves the attention, still, even at his age. It just never works with his fighters, especially the ones who are the stars. You saw what happened with him and Canelo Alvarez.
