De La Hoya to Hearn: “You’re a Terrible Promoter”

Founder and head of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya, has criticized his colleague Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing.

“When it seemed like my friend Eddie Hearn couldn’t get any worse, it got even worse. Dmitry Bivol suffered his first loss, once again confirming that the Matchroom curse is a reality. 14 of your fighters have lost in major bouts this year. That’s some kind of record.

Despite all the terrible things said about you, I hold no animosity. I’m simply pointing out the facts: you can’t do your job. People say you’re a huge jerk, a spoiled heir living off a trust fund. I just think you’re a terrible promoter. And you’ve proven it. I don’t know how much longer you’ll keep getting funded, considering you haven’t created anything worthwhile. But that’s not my problem.

You have two months left to redeem yourself in 2024, Eddie. I believe in you. Although, not really,” said De La Hoya.
