The ongoing feud between UFC CEO Dana White and boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya has reached a new level of intensity. White has finally responded to De La Hoya’s recent criticism of Zuffa Boxing’s debut event.
In a video interview with Nina Drama, White didn’t hold back when addressing De La Hoya.
“Oscar’s on a sinking ship and will not shut the f**k up,” White stated bluntly. “He’s going to have to throw the panties and f**king stockings back on and get on OnlyF*ns to start paying his rent.”
White referenced the controversial 2007 photos that surfaced of De La Hoya in women’s clothing, which the boxing promoter finally acknowledged as real in 2011.
White’s comments are a direct response to De La Hoya’s harsh assessment of Zuffa Boxing’s inaugural show. During his Instagram series ‘Clapback Thursday,’ the Golden Boy Promotions founder expressed his disappointment with the event.
“The big debut of Zuffa is out, and it couldn’t be less of what they promised us it would be,” De La Hoya said. “There was no new ring; there was no new belt; no new rules and no faces anybody recognised. They told us boxing [is] broken and they were coming to change it and fix it, but all they did was copy and paste what we have been doing for 100-plus years.”
White’s response also touched on De La Hoya’s financial troubles. “My boy’s running out of money. His ship is sinking very fast and he’s talking s**t all the way down,” White said.
White then went on to say: “Panties and fishnets back on, jump on OnlyF*ns and pay that $23 million in f**king rent, yo, buddy.”
De La Hoya reportedly defaulted on a $27 million commercial loan tied to a Golden Boy Promotions office building in downtown Los Angeles. According to The Real Deal, the mortgage-backed securities loan has left De La Hoya’s company owing approximately $23 million, with the property now facing foreclosure. De La Hoya and Michael Barker are listed as the loan sponsors.
Barker, who founded Barker Pacific and passed away in January 2025, was a business partner on the property. Golden Boy purchased a controlling interest in the building for $16 million back in 2004, with Barker Pacific maintaining a minority share.
