The long-running beef between Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya isn’t cooling off anytime soon.
While attending a recent Zuffa Boxing event in Las Vegas, White used a livestream appearance to unload on his longtime rival, aiming squarely at De La Hoya’s reported financial issues tied to Golden Boy Promotions’ Los Angeles office building.
“Oscar is on a sinking ship and will not shut the f*ck up,” White said during the stream. “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.”
The remark referenced old photos that surfaced years ago showing De La Hoya wearing fishnets and lingerie — images the former champion eventually admitted were authentic after initially denying them.
White brought that history back into the spotlight while suggesting his competitor is running out of money. “My boy is running out of money, the ship is sinking very fast, and he’s talking sh*t all the way down,” White continued. “Get the panties and fishnets back on and pay back the $23 million you owe in rent.”
The jab follows reports from The Real Deal that Golden Boy Promotions defaulted on a commercial mortgage-backed securities loan connected to its downtown Los Angeles office property late in January 2025.
According to loan documents and servicing updates, roughly $23 million remains unpaid on a $27 million loan tied to the 12-story, 150,000-square-foot building at 626 Wilshire Boulevard.
A notice of default was issued late last year, and foreclosure proceedings are reportedly in play while the borrower seeks a modification or extension.
The property has also struggled with occupancy. Servicer commentary noted the building was around 60 percent leased, reflecting broader post-pandemic stress in the downtown office market.
Golden Boy itself occupies only a small portion of the space—roughly 10,500 square feet—but De La Hoya remains closely tied to the ownership structure as the company’s founder, chair, and majority stakeholder.
The two have been trading shots for nearly a decade, but tensions ramped up again as White pushes aggressively into boxing with Zuffa Boxing, backed by Saudi investor Turki Alalshikh. That move puts him in direct competition with traditional promoters like Golden Boy.
De La Hoya recently criticized White’s new venture, calling it a “club show” and accusing White and TKO executives of trying to reshape boxing regulations in ways he believes would hurt fighters. He previously labeled them “scumbags” and claimed, “Everything you touch turns to absolute sh*t.”
