Ryan
\nGarcia<\/a> has slammed Oscar De La Hoya over the promoter\u2019s absence
\nfrom his latest fight.<\/p>\n

Garcia defended his WBC welterweight championship against Conor
\nBenn on Sept. 12 in Las Vegas, stopping the Englishman in the
\nsecond round. De La Hoya wasn\u2019t in attendance despite Garcia
\npreviously expressing a desire to have his longtime promoter walk
\nhim to the ring.<\/p>\n

Ryan Garcia says Oscar De La Hoya had a seat for his Conor Benn
\nfight but didn’t attend<\/h2>\n

Despite De La Hoya being at loggerheads with
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> CEO and Zuffa Boxing co-founder
\nDana
\nWhite<\/a> for years, the latter has reiterated that he didn\u2019t
\nprevent the former from attending the event. The Golden Boy
\npromoter had been invited and even offered VIP access.<\/p>\n

However, he didn\u2019t attend the event. Garcia initially appeared
\nunfazed by De La Hoya’s absence. Days later, however, the champion
\nwas far more critical.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, nobody wanted him there,\u201d Garcia told Ariel Helwani.
\n\u201cSometimes you\u2019ve got to pick your battles; it\u2019s not really a
\nbattle I really want to pick right here. I wish Oscar was there, I
\nwish he walked out with me and I wish he would\u2019ve been ringside no
\nmatter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Garcia, De La Hoya was allowed to attend but opted
\nagainst it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would\u2019ve shown his love for me just like I had imagined
\nsomeone who has been with me the entire time to do,\u201d Garcia said.
\n\u201cThey did have a seat for you though, and you didn\u2019t take that
\nseat. I don\u2019t respect that and that disappointed me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garcia further revealed that he hasn\u2019t heard from De La Hoya since
\nthe fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why he\u2019s like that; he just doesn\u2019t want to show up
\nfor the people he\u2019s supposed to love,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cI don\u2019t know;
\nhe\u2019s weird, bro. He\u2019s missing a part of himself\u2026 It\u2019s really
\ndisappointing. Where\u2019s your maturity?\u201d<\/p>\n
