Canelo Alvarez and Ryan Garcia have used social media to air grievances with Golden Boy Promotions, but Oscar De La Hoya doesn't let it interfere with business (column by ArashMarkazi)
It’s depressing to see sparse crowds at the Rose Bowl watching a UCLA football team that can’t even entice fans to come to their games with free tickets.
There has been talk in boxing circles for months about whether the relationship between De La Hoya and Alvarez is fractured, but Alvarez’s tweet was the first public sign of discord. De La Hoya, however, said the two spoke last week and are on the same page afteron Nov. 2 against Sergey Kovalev. The fight will be shown on DAZN, the digital streaming platform that signed Alvarez to a record 10-fight, $365-million deal last year.

Alvarez isn’t the only Golden Boy fighter who has taken his issues with De La Hoya and the promotion public on social media. Ryan Garcia, a 21-year-old lightweight prospect from Victorville with an undefeated record almost as impressive as his social media following , was supposed to fight Avery Sparrow last Saturday in Carson. The fight was scrapped when Sparrow was arrested before the weigh-in.
