Golden Boy Challenges Dana White Over Oscar Credential
Boxing News 24/7 • • sports
Key Points:
- Ryan expected Oscar De La Hoya, his promoter, to attend and walk out with him during the event, but Oscar was notably absent, contradicting Golden Boy's claim that he simply chose not to come.
- Golden Boy alleges that several of its employees were denied credentials to the event, suggesting deliberate exclusion, while Dana White insists Oscar was welcome and free to attend.
- Security prevented Teofimo Lopez from entering the ring after Ryan called him out, indicating strict access control likely imposed by the event promoters, Zuffa, who do not promote Ryan or Lopez.
- The conflicting accounts between Dana White and Golden Boy raise questions about who controlled credential approvals and whether Oscar's absence was voluntary or enforced.
- The situation highlights tensions between promoters and the tightly managed environment of the event, with no clear resolution on why Oscar De La Hoya was missing.
