The history between Mayweather and John Gotti III goes back a long way. Everything prepared, everything orchestrated and everything designed to make the revenge a fight with a lot of money at stakedue to the controversial ending of the first match that ended up being suspended for inappropriate language and then an important scrum broke out when the teams of both fighters entered the ring.
It all ended with Gotti suspended for six monthswhile Mayweather emerged unscathed, yes, he already began to promote the next fight between the two in which Gotti promised to offer a show, although He had nothing to do against Floyd who took the fight.
The local public began to booing in the final round due to Gotti’s disappointing performance. Mayweather, meanwhile, turns the page and reveals that he already has three more possible exhibitions plannedsomething that did not sit well with De La Hoyawho attacked Mayweather for organizing fights that “don’t matter to the public.”
De la Hoya’s outrage
In a video shared on his social networks, shortly after the fight between Mayweather and Gotti III, De La Hoya hinted that Mayweather might be having financial problems due to his extravagant lifestyle. She made reference to a lawsuit from a Miami jeweler who is asking Mayweather to pay him approximately $4 millionwhich are still pending.
“Floyd Mayweather fought in another s**t exhibition against Gotti on Saturday. A really bad show with audience booing at the end. But in the middle of the second round, Floyd literally had the referee changed. He didn’t like it when the referee told him to stop hitting behind the head. Floyd is used to getting his way in whatever he wants and this time he didn’t get it. It was so embarrassing, it makes you sad. Floyd, you are 50 years old, you are a sports legend… I know that life is difficult and expensivebut come on man, put your legacy first,” De La Hoya said.
De La Hoya then turned his attention to Canelo Alvarez. The relationship between the two has not been the best since Álvarez left Golden Boy. During a press conference before facing Jaime Munguía, Canelo accused De La Hoya of trying to steal money from him. They almost got into a physical confrontation when De La Hoya denied those accusations. The promoter of Golden Boy sued Canelo for defamation.
De la Hoya also has for Canelo
However, Álvarez had the last word when beating Munguíawho then left Golden Boy to sign with Top Rank. Canelo has been criticized for not fighting David Benavidez. The Mexican demanded $200 million to make the fight, raising suspicions that he was asking too high a price. Turki Alalshikh is interested in making that fight happenbut Canelo’s demands could make it impossible. De La Hoya questioned Canelo’s heart for not choosing the more difficult fight, given that Benavidez now fights at 175 pounds.
“My friend Turki Alalshikh is making sure real boxing is back and is striving to make the best fights happen, that’s why Canelo doesn’t like it“De La Hoya declared.
