It’s worth mentioning that De La Hoya doesn’t hesitate to label the Jalisco native as «ungrateful» in an interview with the Fight Hype channel.

«One day, a reporter asked me if Canelo needed another trainer, and I replied that maybe he did, considering I had seven different trainers in my career,» he said.

«I suggested that Eddy Reynoso might need help, and suddenly I was labeled as a hypocrite, disloyal, that’s how it all started,» the former boxer said.

Amidst the anticipation for the upcoming fight in Las Vegas, De La Hoya launches strong criticisms towards Canelo, questioning his career decisions and his supposed lack of recognition towards those who have supported him.

«Let him rot, to hell»

The promoter highlights the fact that he himself facilitated a significant contract for the boxer, according to the Medio Tiempo portal.

«Who the hell is the disloyal one here? The one who jumps from promoter to promoter, from contract to contract with networks, I think it’s clear who the ungrateful one is,» said the promoter.

«I never received a thank you when I got him what was the biggest contract of his career. Let him rot, to hell with him,» he emphasized.

Canelo’s past and his changes in team and strategy do not go unnoticed by De La Hoya, who insists that the boxer should show more gratitude towards those who have supported him throughout his career.
