00:00 And now we will hear from boxing legend as well as chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions.
00:08 Please welcome Oscar De La Hoya.
00:11 [Applause]
00:15 Thank you very much. Please sit down.
00:18 Thank you very much for being here for what I truly believe will be the changing of the guard
00:26 of Mexican boxing from Canelo Alvarez to Jaime Munguia.
00:31 My sole purpose in this promotion is to support Jaime, an undefeated, incredible talent
00:38 who deserves a stage and spotlight at this point of his career.
00:42 However, I would be remiss if I didn't respond to the man I used to promote.
00:48 He seems to have trouble remembering who helped him become a true global star.
00:53 To be clear, I have nothing but respect for Canelo.
00:57 Alvarez as a fighter, his record and abilities speak for themselves.
01:02 But he has spent much of the last two months insulting me rather than promoting this fight.
01:07 So I'll make it a little bit easier for him.
01:10 Yes, I have faced a lot of challenges in my life.
01:14 Yes, I've been to rehab several times.
01:17 Yes, there were some really low points in my life.
01:21 And yes, there were times that work was not my priority based on my mental health,
01:26 which I had neglected for so long.
01:29 But that doesn't change the fact that Golden Boy built Canelo Alvarez, period.
01:33 The company you fought under for decades has always had one name, and it's mine.
01:39 So put some f*cking respect on it.
01:42 As for Jaime, he has always dared to be great, just as he is this Saturday night.
01:50 And this serves as a bit of a full circle for him.
01:54 Remember when Jaime was 21 years old, volunteered to step in against Triple G,
01:59 and Canelo failed two drug tests?
02:02 Though Jaime wasn't allowed to fulfill his dream, 2018,
02:06 on Saturday night, he will do just that, fulfill his dream and be world champion.
02:11 You have to write what this f*cking f*ck*ng f*ck*ng f*ck*ng has to say.
02:15 You write it. What do you write, f*ck*ng f*ck*ng f*ck*ng?
02:17 You don't write anything, f*ck*ng f*ck*ng f*ck*ng. You don't do anything.
02:20 You don't do anything. You're a f*ck*ng f*ck*ng f*ck*ng.
02:23 You're a f*ck*ng f*ck*ng f*ck*ng f*ck*ng.
02:25 You're just there. Those who do everything are the ones behind you.
02:28 (speaking in foreign language)
02:32 - All right, let's have everyone take a beat a little bit
02:42 and we will move on with our show.
02:46 So first, now we want to turn our attention.
