White to DLH: Have you lost your f@$%ing mind?!?
Dana White: “Oscar, what the f@$%? Seriously? What the f@$% is going on with you? Are you nuts?”
Retired multiple division world champion and current promoter Oscar De La Hoya recently posted an extended message on his social network, warning that MayGregor could be the end of boxing.
“Just wait until the best boxer of a generation dismantles someone who has never boxed competitively at any level – amateur or professional,” he wrote. “Our sport might not ever recover.”
During a recent interview with TMZ, UFC president Dana White was not impressed.
What the f***, Oscar?” said White, as transcribed by Adam Guillen Jr. for MMA Mania. “Listen, Oscar de la Hoya and I have had a good relationship for a long time. If you look in the past, including the Canelo vs. Chavez fight, I have been very supportive of every event that he does. I’ve always liked Oscar.
“Bob Arum and I don’t get along. If Bob Arum and I had the last two fighters on Earth, I still wouldn’t make a fight with that scumbag. But, Oscar and I have always had a good relationship and I was just at that fight. He’s talking about money grabs, Canelo vs Chavez, you’re going to put on a fight like that and then call Mayweather vs. McGregor a money grab?
You were trying to make that fight four months ago! It’s crazy. What is this guy doing? What’s his deal? That’s what I’m basically saying to him. What’s up? Why would you say something like that? Instead, it makes it sound like he has no confidence whatsoever in [Golovkin] vs. Canelo, which I have come out publicly and said it’s a good fight. I like that fight and I will watch that fight. He seems completely insecure and it’s one of the weirdest things I have ever seen.
And talk about two-faced and contradicting and the list goes on and on. Hating and, I don’t know, like he has no confidence in this fight. Oscar, what the f***? Seriously? What the f*** is going on with you? Are you nuts? Are you out of your mind? Have you lost your f***ing mind? What’s going on?
As for MayGregor, White said it’s “moving along.”
