The former partners have been on bad terms for years. At a press conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, things got ugly.
LAS VEGAS – In 2010, Oscar De La Hoya , then a 30-something ex-fighter early in his new career as a full-time promoter, stood in a ballroom at the MGM Grand and declared a then 19-year old Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez to be the future of boxing.
Addressing reporters, De La Hoya, Munguía’s co-promoter, quickly took aim at Álvarez. He questioned why Álvarez had spent so much time focused on him. He noted that Munguía was ready to face Gennadiy Golovkin in 2018, when Álvarez was pulled from the fight following two failed drug tests. He reminded Álvarez, who developed into boxing’s most bankable star in ten years with De La Hoya, that Golden Boy “built” him.
Indeed, a simmering feud between two of boxing’s biggest names has become a full on war. In 2010, Golden Boy celebrated Álvarez’s signing. It was called “a historic day” in a press release. De La Hoya declared Álvarez to be a “star.” Álvarez said the chance to work with Golden Boy “was too good to pass up.”
