Imagine the glitzy lights of Las Vegas, the bustling backdrop for yet another chapter in the ongoing saga between UFC's head honcho, Dana White, and former boxing superstar, Oscar De La Hoya. During a recent Zuffa Boxing event, White didn't hold back, taking the opportunity to deliver a punchline as cutting as any in the octagon: he suggested De La Hoya might need to start an OnlyFans account to help out with some financial strains.
“Oscar is on a sinking ship and will not shut the f**k up,” Dana White remarked before adding, “This guy is fascinating. He’s going to have to throw the panties and stockings back on and get on OnlyFans to start paying his rent.”
For those not in the loop, this isn't the first time White and De La Hoya have exchanged barbs. White's recent comments referenced some infamous photos of De La Hoya donning fishnets and lingerie, images that stirred quite the frenzy back in the day. While initially challenged, De La Hoya eventually confessed to their authenticity.
The quip comes amidst financial turbulence for De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, which has reportedly defaulted on a hefty $27 million loan tied to its downtown Los Angeles headquarters. With foreclosure proceedings underway, White's jibe feels like a hard-hitting body shot to the boxing legend's firm. The ongoing rivalry between these two titans of combat sports has taken on a distinctly Malibu-style drama flair.
As the drama unfolds, everyone is waiting to see how De La Hoya will respond to White's provocative comments. For now, the boxing legend remains tight-lipped, leaving fans and followers eager for the next round in this Hollywood-style feud.
