The professional boxing scene registers a new chapter of tension between the world welterweight champion and the company in charge of his commercial representation. On this occasion, Ryan García directly questioned Óscar de la Hoya after the promoter's statements in which he downplayed the agreed clash against the British Conor Benn.

The relationship between both parties has gone through periods of disagreement at the negotiating tables, but the recent exchange on digital platforms reopened the debate on the management of the image of the Californian fighter.

Although the September 12 billboard in Las Vegas already has the formal approval of the promoters, the conflicting positions maintain the attention of the specialized press.

Questions towards the promoter's position

The friction between the athlete and the director of Golden Boy Promotions intensified when De La Hoya publicly stated on his social networks that a rematch against Devin Haney would have represented a better commercial product than the fight against Benn.

Given this position, Ryan García expressed his disagreement during a conversation with journalist Ariel Helwani, pointing out that the businessman's words do not coincide with the support that an active monarch requires.

"I'm your fighter. You shouldn't say things like that. It doesn't make sense. I don't have any problem with you. What's the point of saying that? Trying to discredit me and make me look bad? The only thing it's going to do is push me even more. I don't understand what your problem is, brother. It doesn't make sense," declared the boxer in the interview with Ariel Helwani, questioning the manager's media strategy.

During the same dialogue with the information source, the boxer argued that the negative comments towards the evening lack financial logic, because the promoter will obtain economic returns by co-promoting the event at the T-Mobile Arena. "I don't understand why you talk about that. It's like: brother, collect your check and move on. What's the point? It doesn't make any sense. They're paying you. If they're paying you, why are you talking? It doesn't make sense," added the athlete in Helwani's space.

The contractual panorama and the final phase of the alliance

Beyond the discrepancies over the logistics and dissemination of the September show, the athlete revealed details about the current status of his exclusive representation contract. The 147-pound champion of the World Boxing Council explained that the current agreement with De La Hoya's company is in its final stages, which will allow him to restructure the management of his career in the medium term.

The champion of the green and gold organization confirmed that only one additional commitment remains under this shared representation format. In this regard, Ryan García detailed to Ariel Helwani the path his work team will take once it complies with the legal terms agreed with the development company.

"We have one more fight left with them. They will be part of one last function as co-promoters along with my promotion company," the boxer concluded in his dialogue with Ariel Helwani, adding regarding his work autonomy that "after that, it's over."
