Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya have had a tumultuous relationship, marked by periods of collaboration and contention.
Their professional association began when De La Hoya's promotional company, Golden Boy Promotions, signed Alvarez in 2008. Under Golden Boy, Alvarez rose to become one of the biggest stars in boxing, winning numerous world titles in multiple weight divisions.
However, their relationship soured in 2014 when Alvarez split from Golden Boy Promotions, citing issues with his contract and disagreements over his career direction. This split led to legal battles between Alvarez and De La Hoya's company.
Despite the acrimony, there have been attempts to mend fences. Alvarez and De La Hoya publicly reconciled in 2018, with Alvarez praising De La Hoya's role in his career during a press conference.
However, tensions resurfaced in 2020 when Alvarez sued De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions, along with streaming service DAZN, over a breach of contract related to a proposed fight deal. The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court.
Overall, the relationship between Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya has been complex, marked by both success and conflict, reflecting the dynamics often seen in the competitive world of professional boxing.
