De La Hoya implied that Haney’s marketability was the explanation for his cost issues from his struggle towards Ryan on April twentieth. He instructed Haney that he might audit his firm to show he pays his fighters.
Oscar was additionally upset concerning the inconsistencies within the PED penalties handed out by completely different sanctioning our bodies. He identified that Ryan Garcia was given a stiffer punishment than Canelo Alvarez and Shane Mosley.
Nevada handled these two. In distinction, the New York State Athletic Fee got here down arduous on Ryan, giving him a yr suspension. De La Hoya argues that one fee ought to be in management so the penalties are extra uniform.
Curiously, Ryan had complained early on about desirous to struggle with Haney in Nevada for tax functions as a result of New York has larger state taxes. He felt the struggle would have been greater if it had been in Las Vegas. If Ryan had gotten his means, he is likely to be a shorter suspension from Nevada with out shedding all that cash.
De La Hoya Questions PED Penalties
“Alright, guys, all people talked about Ryan Garcia. Now, it’s Pappy’s flip. To start with, I don’t condone PEDs by any means, interval,” stated Oscar De La Hoya on Instagram. “However let’s discuss concerning the inconsistencies, the penalties, and the tens of millions of {dollars}.
“I don’t perceive it. We should always have a fee that oversees all the pieces in each state as a result of Canelo Alvarez will get popped in a distinct state and will get six months. Shane Mosley will get popped and will get zero,” De La Hoya continued.
“So, you’re telling me Ryan Garcia will get a yr and tens of millions of {dollars}? That’s not proper.
“You Do Not Promote”
“Let’s discuss Devin Haney now. Devin Haney, you’re pathetic. You’re dancing round at a bowling alley since you acquired your resolution reversed. No one goes to overlook that beating you took,” stated De La Hoya.
Haney would possibly really feel it’s essential to nonetheless have his unbeaten file as a result of the networks would probably see him as extra worthwhile, and the hardcore boxing followers who sustain with data could be impressed.
The community is just not as targeted on data as they’re on scores, and Haney hasn’t confirmed himself to be a PPV attraction. That overrides his nonetheless being undefeated as a result of unbeaten fighters are too widespread now, given how wily promoters shield them to try to create pretend stars.
Some would argue that Haney is an instance of a fighter who has been well-maneuvered by his handlers and has gotten by on being greater than his opponents. Haney’s finest wins had been towards Vasily Lomachenko, George Kambosos, and Regis Prograis. Lomachenko was controversial.
Along with these two, Haney had overwhelmed usually older, shopworn fighters. These had been the opposite notable fighters Haney had defeated: Joseph Diaz, Jorge Linares, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Zaur Abdullaev, and Alfredo Santiago.
“Oh, and let’s not overlook. You’re accusing me of not paying you. Bro, you simply don’t promote. That’s the underside line. You may audit my firm anytime you need. I pay each fighter, and I’m fairly certain you bought that from Canelo from what he began,” stated De La Hoya.
Will Haney and his dad, Invoice Haney, take De La Hoya up on his provide to audit Golden Boy’s data to see whether or not they’re paying their fighters?
“So, bro, that one-year layoff, that retirement. Simply take pleasure in it. F*** you,’ stated De La Hoya to Haney.
Devin possible gained’t take a yr off if he’s supplied a candy deal for good cash towards somebody he is aware of he can beat. He’ll possible agree if the Saudis wave a bunch of dough beneath Haney’s nostril to struggle in Riyadh towards a delicate contact. It must be loads, particularly if the fighter is an effective one.
