Dana White denied that Oscar De La Hoya was blocked from attending Ryan Garcia’s knockout victory over Conor Benn on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. That denial leaves a larger question surrounding the Golden Boy promoter’s unexplained absence.
De La Hoya had been nearly invisible throughout fight week despite promoting Ryan. On Friday night, he posted a video promising, “See you tomorrow, and boy, do I have a surprise for you.”
Saturday came, Ryan stopped Benn in the second round, and Oscar was nowhere to be seen.
White was asked about the promoter during his post-fight press conference.
