Ali Walsh<\/a> and De La Hoya were both opposing, believing the bill to be a reversal of the anti-monopolization Ali had originally fought for to yield the existing Muhammad Ali Boxing Reforms Act of 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\nDe La Hoya has since addressed the matter on Instagram, thanking Ali Walsh before getting onto what he saw as corruption.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I do want to thank Nico Ali Walsh, thank you for fighting the good fight, man. You really did a great job. But we walked into a buzzsaw,” he said. “It was crazy, how Chairman Cruz, we meet him beforehand, and all he can talk about was President Donald Trump. How, ‘What a great time they had at the UFC event.'”<\/p>\n
He continued,\u00a0“The questions felt scripted, I mean the corruption that I felt in the room was just disgusting. I have videos next week that I will show you, I will put together all the lies that Nick Khan told. It’s gonna be pretty interesting.”<\/p>\n
Khan had made an inaccurate claim about boxing while attempting to contrast the WWE model to the boxing system his party claims is broken.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Think about this, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, the two fighters of that generation. You could not buy an action figure of them, you cannot buy a video game of them. It doesn’t exist because of this broken system,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has appeared as a playable fighter previously, in EA Sports’ “Fight Night: Round Two,” sharing a roster with Manny Pacquiao who later went on to appear all subsequent “Fight Night” titles. Pacquiao also has several action figure lines.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"11-time boxing World Champion and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya addressed the recent Senate Subcommittee…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":631291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-631290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
