De La Hoya to Hearn: "You're Incompetent and Incapable of Doing Your Job"

Golden Boy Promotions founder and head, Oscar De La Hoya, has sharply criticized his Matchroom Boxing counterpart, Eddie Hearn.

Let’s start with Eddie Hearn, who lost his mind after I pointed out the facts. Last week, I highlighted that all his fighters have either lost or gotten injured.

Eddie, am I making it up that 14 of your fighters lost this year in main events? Fourteen fighters! It happened last week with Sandy Ryan, and the week before that with Anthony Joshua. The week before that, Shakur got injured, and before that, Berlanga suffered a crushing defeat.

You must be the greatest pathological liar on the planet to keep convincing us that you’re doing your job well. It’s a complete disaster. The Matchroom curse is real, and you always bring up how Canelo hates me. Yes, we hate each other, but that doesn’t change the fact that I promoted him for ten years and built him into a star in the U.S. from scratch.

Canelo was with you for just eight fights and left because you're incompetent and incapable of doing your job. Your reputation proves it. Those are the facts,” De La Hoya said on the "Clapback Thursday" show.
