Last week, boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya ripped the potential Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight by saying that it was just a money grab and completely disrespectful to the sport of boxing. De La Hoya however forgot that he said he was open to McGregor fighting Canelo Alvarez just a few months ago and UFC president Dana White called him out on it.

Today, Dana White was asked about De La Hoya’s comments and the UFC President went off.
He’s talking about money grabs? Canelo-Chavez? You’re going to put out a fight like that and then call McGregor-Mayweather a money grab when you were trying to make that fight four months ago.
It’s crazy, what is this guy doing? What’s deal? It’s one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen, talk about two-faced and contradicting, hating I don’t know. It seems like he has no confidence in his fight (GGG vs Alvarez)

White is 100 percent right to call out De La Hoya’s flip-flopping because everyone knows the Golden Boy would have easily made the Alvarez-McGregor fight if given the opportunity.
