“That is lengthy overdue,” Oscar De La Hoya stated on Combat Hype Friday morning, “however I needed to get the authorized info so as earlier than clapping again.” The Corridor of Fame fighter turned excessive finish promoter then went on to handle a lawsuit filed in opposition to his firm, Golden Boy Promotions, in addition to its fighter, Ryan Garcia by the group of Devin Haney, who Garcia surprisingly battered in a pay per view battle again in April. That combat, nevertheless, was not with out controversy as Garcia examined optimistic for the banned substance ostarine as not too long ago because the day of the combat. Garcia was subsequently suspended from the game in New York and the combat dominated a no-contest.
“Just a few weeks in the past the Haney’ s filed a lawsuit within the state of New York,” De La Hoya stated, “in opposition to my fighter Ryan Garcia for battery, fraud and breach of contract. The Haneys additionally named my firm, Golden Boy Promotions within the lawsuit as a result of they need a full accounting of Devin’s combat in opposition to Ryan. They need to see my books. They don’t consider the truth that Garcia-Haney solely did somewhat over 300 thousand houses, and so they’ve been paid what they’re owed. They need extra money that doesn’t exist.”

De La Hoya nonetheless wasn’t carried out. “And now, Invoice, you’re going to say that Ryan was doped up for the combat. The traces of ostarine had been so minute that professionals have stated it didn’t even matter and didn’t make a distinction. The reality is easy – that your son couldn’t block the left hook (of Garcia’s), he couldn’t keep on his toes with these nasty Uggs he was carrying, and he couldn’t deal with Ryan Garcia. Level Clean.”
De La Hoya then tossed the figurative ball to Haney’s courtroom. “We’re all nonetheless ready to listen to the info from you Invoice,” he stated, “as a result of all of us watched that combat and we cant unsee it.”
