Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya have shared a rather poor relationship with each other for quite some time. White recently revealed that their relationship was not always in such dire straits. In a recent conversation with the media, the UFC supremo opened up about the instance that turned their relationship on the dime.
While in conversation with the media at the post-fight presser, White offered some insight into his deteriorating relationship with De La Hoya.
"We were cool at one point. I’d go to his fights. Then we do Mayweather vs. McGregor, and this guy goes on like a PR tour telling people not to watch the fight. It was a ‘disgrace to boxing,’ but he would fight Conor McGregor, right? It’s not a disgrace to the sport if you fight him? Why would you tell people not to watch somebody's fight? What do you even care?"

Dana White belives 'The Golden Boy' Promotions is suffering
In the same interview, White trashed De La Hoya for his hypocrisy. Opening up about how De La Hoya set up an MMA event, with a total fight purse of almost $36,000, White nuked 'The Golden Boy' for his hypocrisy.
He further went on to say that De La Hoya could not hold on to one of the only great fighters that he had in Canelo Alvarez. He also declared that, as far as he was concerned, 'The Golden Boy Promotions' was "tanking".
"(De La Hoya) acts like, when he put on an event, he pays more than we do. Yeah, you pay f***ing Canelo a s**tload of money, whom you couldn't even hold on to. How about this? I have 650 fighters under contract, he had f***ing one that mattered and he couldn't keep him... The problem with Oscar De La Hoya is that 'The Golden Boy' is tanking in my opinion," admitted Dana White.
The bad blood between White and De La Hoya is on the brink of bubbling over. Following a lengthy back and forth on social media in the aftermath of UFC 266, things have only gotten worse.
