Oscar De La Hoya says he stayed away from Garcia–Benn fight to avoid embarrassment

MMA Fighting reports De La Hoya told Fight Hub TV he stayed away from Ryan Garcia’s September fight with Conor Benn because he believed he would be embarrassed. He alleged mistreatment of Golden Boy staff and objected to Alexis Rocha and Jose Ramirez fighting second on the card. The outlet says Zuffa Boxing CEO Dana White denied reports that De La Hoya was refused an appropriate ringside credential.
