However, De La Hoya has had it out with UFC CEO Dana White for a while. And given White’s role in the promotion of Crawford vs. Canelo, this was yet another reason for the Mexican legend to lament this historic Netflix fight. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Every Thursday, Oscar De La Hoya steps into the digital ring for “Clap Back Thursday. \/ <\/p>\n
De La Hoya has a weekly Instagram series called “Clapback Thursday,” where he essentially roasts somebody that he has beef with in a video.<\/p>\n
White and Canelo were the subject of his September 18 post, as De La Hoya said, \u201cI predicted the Canelo-Crawford fight like a goddamn fortune teller. Canelo\u2019s feet were cemented on the canvas as he was hitting air. What the f*** was that? Props to Crawford… [He] fought a beautiful fight. What a great performance. Like taking candy from a baby… made [Canelo] look silly.”<\/p>\n
De La Hoya went on to criticize the Netflix fight’s undercard, saying that Turki Alalshikh needed to fire his matchmakers because there were no other good fights on the card besides the main event. <\/p>\n
De La Hoya then turned his attention to White, saying, \u201cNow speaking of poor promotion, Dana White didn\u2019t have his best week. His t-shirt shrank smaller every minute, especially when he was questioned about his attempt to amend the Muhammad Ali Act.” <\/p>\n
He later added, “[White] decided to skip the undercard, and shows up in the beginning of the main event, where he’s just watching the UFC on his phone the entire time! I wonder if he regrets abandoning the UFC for a sport that doesn\u2019t want him? It\u2019s like having a loyal girlfriend and ditching her for a hot one-night stand who ghosts you… That\u2019s Dana White!\u201d<\/p>\n
De La Hoya certainly didn’t pull any punches with this Clapback Thursday rant. While going after White’s promotion skills is fair, teasing him about his shrinking shirt was probably unnecessary. <\/p>\n
