Promoter Oscar De La Hoya revealed today that he will sue Ryan Garcia if Golden Boi Promotions is not included in his eight-round exhibition fight against Rukia Anpo on December 30th in Tokyo, Japan.
De La Hoya said Ryan negotiated behind his back for an exhibition match against Anpo, and he can’t do that because he has “global rights” to his fights. He states that he wants Ryan (26) to earn money, but he has to adhere to the contract he has with Golden Boy.
December Bout Uncertain
It is unclear whether the organizers of the eight-round exhibition match between Ryan and Anpo will agree with Golden Boy to include them in order for the bout to take place on December 30. Ryan wanted to get paid and stay sharp until his one-year suspension ends in April 2025.
“I’m not sure if you saw the press conference for the upcoming exhibition between Ryan Garcia and Rukia Anpo, because Ryan’s team thought they could negotiate a deal behind my back,” said Oscar De La Hoya. Clap on Thursdaystalking about why he’s blocking Ryan Garcia’s eight-round exhibition bout against Rukia Anpo on December 30th.
“Everyone is aware that I have the global rights to Ryan Garcia’s fights. So what the fuck? When you sign a contract, that means it’s legally binding and that means you have to play by the rules or risk getting sued, which is unfortunately what we have to do if Golden Boi isn’t involved in the fight.
“For every person that says I’m trying to block this fight, you’re stupid. I want Ryan to make money. I want him to fight, but I demand that he honor the contract. Let’s say you start a business. Would you, as an honor, let things slide and let certain people pass and certain people pass. No you wouldn’t and neither would I,” said De La Hoya.
