The tense and volatile relationship between boxer Ryan Garcia and his promoter Oscar de la Hoya has once again erupted publicly, with a flurry of accusations on social media reflecting a breakdown in a relationship that once represented one of the most promising alliances in professional boxing.
Just weeks after appearing to be in apparent harmony, both protagonists have launched reproaches, indirects and publications with a clear recipient. Garcia, 26, unleashed a series of incendiary messages on his Instagram and Twitter accounts, where he lashed out at De La Hoya and his promoter, Golden Boy Promotions.
Among his most aggressive posts, Garcia wrote:
“I know why Oscar is a bitch in people’s eyes, and that’s a fact. I can’t wait to get away from that fake bitch. I’m going to show up and win, like I did against all his shitty fighters.”
In another message, loaded with personal insults, he added:
“Fuck Golden Boy Promotions” Ryan Garcia
“Oscar diddy jota” Ryan Garcia
Ryan Garcia insults Oscar de la Hoya
And in what appears to be a direct message leaked by De La Hoya,Garcia allegedly wrote an expletive-filled message aimed at the promoter. In this message, you can see the degree of intensity to which the discussion between the two has escalated, where Ryan Garcia, in addition to insulting Oscar de la Hoya, insinuates that boxers such as Canelo Alvarez and Berlanga would also have ended working relationships with De La Hoya on bad terms.
Oscar De La Hoya responds to Ryan Garcia’s insults
Faced with this series of attacks, Oscar de la Hoya did not remain silent. The former boxer and promoter responded publicly through his social networks with a statement that surprised by its clinical tone:
“Unfortunately, Ryan Garcia is having another episode. Ten days ago he was talking about God and finding his way, and tonight he sends me this diatribe while watching his Golden Boy teammates win. Bipolar disorder is very serious and I hope he gets the help he needs.” Oscar de la Hoya.
De La Hoya’s response once again raises concerns about Garcia’s mental health, who in the past has acknowledged dealing with anxiety and depression issues. However, this direct reference to a possible diagnosis of bipolar disorder has not been confirmed by the fighter himself or by medical professionals.
What happened between Oscar De La Hoya and Ryan Garcia?
The relationship between the two has become increasingly strained since Garcia‘s defeat to Gervonta Davis in April 2023. After that fight, Garcia accused De La Hoya of abandoning him at a crucial moment.
Since then, there have been cross-lawsuits, contract claims, and disagreements over the direction of his career. The recent defeat to Rolando “Rolly” Romero, and the subsequent controversy over Garcia’s positive doping test after beating Devin Haney, have only exacerbated the situation.
While Golden Boy tries to salvage what is left of a strained professional relationship, Ryan Garcia seems determined to sever ties once and for all. However, the form and tone of his messages have raised concerns, even among his followers, who do not know if it is a pressure strategy or if the boxer really needs medical attention.

MLB playoffs 2025: The Phillies won a must-win game. Did the Dodgers lose one, too?
LOS ANGELES — However this NLDS plays out — whether the Los Angeles Dodgers hold on or the Philadelphia Phillies stage the comeback of these playoffs — many will point to Kyle Schwarber's 455-foot home run that hurtled through the air and over the right-field pavilion of Dodger Stadium as the turning point.Phillies manager Rob Thomson certainly did after the game, telling reporters the blast "sort of woke everybody up and got a lot of energy going in the dugout."It was an enormous home run, yes, one that seemed to fully break the Phillies out of a malaise that had so far cost them two games in the series. However, Schwarber went on to hit a second, less numerically impressive homer, and that one might be just as important because it might as well have gone on the Game 4 […]
Predicting biggest overreactions for NFL Week 6: Browns go to Shedeur Sanders as QB1? Chiefs missing playoffs?
Overreactions after a football game are natural. Why did this team win or lose and can it continue that momentum (or end it)? Will a decision by a player end up sending his team into a downward spiral or spark it to new heights?What about the coaches? Is it necessary to fire a coach in the midst of a bad season or be patient? Same with a quarterback who is trying to retain his starting job week to week? That's the beauty of the NFL, the instant reaction to a result, then having time to think about said reaction. Overreactions are a hot topic in the NFL these days, but can we will them into existence? Perhaps, based on the results of the upcoming slate and how we predict that game this week is going to go.These overreaction predictions are a […]
