De La Hoya Warns Canelo Over Their Beef – ‘Unfaithful, Disloyal’

“Let me tell him exactly why he’s so mad at me. One day, a reporter asked me, ‘Do you think Canelo needs another trainer?’ I said to the reporter, ‘Maybe that [is a good idea]. I had seven trainers in my career. [And] I learned from every trainer who taught me something new. Maybe Eddy Reynoso can use a little help. Well, guess what? They called me not being loyal.

“He said I wasn’t loyal. How could I do this? So that’s how it started. If that’s what it was. That was it. I mean, come on. Who is the unfaithful one here? Who is the disloyal one here? And have I received a thank you? Never. When I got him the biggest deal of his life, remember that big contract? Did I receive a thank you? Never. So, who is the disloyal one.” “F***, no. I don’t give a s***,” De La Hoya stated 

Canelo’s Legacy

The deal was in reference to Canelo’s ten-fight agreement with DAZN, which was worth an alleged $365 million. Alvarez would end up suing for a breach of contract, but he did fight on DAZN for lucrative sums on more than one occasion. De La Hoya also played a major part in putting Canelo on the map when fans saw him face off against Floyd Mayweather.

While Mayweather dominated the fight, it gave the Mexican some mass exposure. It also earned Canelo’s highest pay date at that point. Both will have plenty to prove come fight night. De La Hoya has backed Munguia to win, seeing the fight as the changing of the guard. Canelo also has to silence his doubters amid claims he is ducking David Benavidez. A loss would further damage his credibility and make Munguia the new Mexican PPV star.
