Oscar De La Hoya has fired back at Devin Haney’s lawsuit against Ryan Garcia and Golden Boy Promotions.

The former undisputed lightweight champion sued Garcia alleging battery, fraud and unjust enrichment relating to their fight earlier this year.

Garcia dropped Haney three times en route to a unanimous decision victory on April 20.

However, the result was overturned to a no contest after ‘King Ry’ tested positive for banned substance Ostarine on the day before and the day of the fight

Haney is now seeking punitive damages and alleges Garcia committed battery because ‘his contest was limited to a bout held fairly and under the rules.’

The 25-year-old also claimed Garcia had committed fraud by ‘representing that he had tried to make weight and failed.’

Garcia weighed 3.5lbs over the super lightweight limit.

Meanwhile, the unjust enrichment count stems from Haney’s legal team’s assessment that Garcia doesn’t deserve to keep his purse and pay-per-view cut.

De La Hoya‘s Golden Boy Promotions were also included in the lawsuit as Haney insists he hasn’t been paid what he is owed.

Responding to the lawsuit, three weeks after it was filed, De La Hoya took to Instagram to send a video message to Haney and his father Bill.

“This is long overdue, but I had to get the legal facts in order before clapping back,” he said.

“A few weeks ago, the Haney’s filed a lawsuit in the state of New York against my fighter, Ryan Garcia, for battery fraud and breach of contract.

“The Haney’s also named my company, Golden Boy Promotions in the lawsuit, because they want a full accounting of Devin’s fight against Ryan. In other words, they want to see my books.”

Pay-per-view estimates for Garcia vs Haney were between 972,000 and 1.5 million.

But De La Hoya insists the fight did nowhere near that.

“They don’t believe the fact that Garcia-Haney only did a little over 300,000 homes [PPV buys], and they’ve been paid what they are owed,” he added.

“They want more money that doesn’t exist. Number one, Bill, we live in the same fancy neighbourhood in Henderson.

“You could have knocked on my door and simply asked to see my books. We have told you over and over that this fight just didn’t sell.

“Those are the facts. Number two, you guys are Suing Ryan Garcia for battery. You do know your son, Devin, is a professional fighter, right?

“His livelihood is based on battering other opponents. This has to be the lamest claim I’ve ever seen in the four decades I’ve been involved in this sport.

“And now, Bill, you’re going to say that Ryan was doped up for the fight.

“The traces of Ostarine were so minute that professionals have said it didn’t even matter or make a difference.

“The truth is simple, that your son couldn’t block the left hook, he couldn’t stay on his feet with those nasty Ugs he was wearing, and he couldn’t handle Ryan Garcia, point blank.

“I know you’re going to respond by trying to clown me with Oscar De La Hoe and Oscar De La Fishnets and blah, blah, blah, but we are all still waiting to hear the facts from you, Bill, because we all watched that fight and we can’t unsee it.”
