You guys look fairly cozy. Eddie, when it is best to’ve been centered on selling the trilogy between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, which might probably be the most important battle ever in ladies’s historical past, you had been centered instantly on organising your rumored girlfriend to battle Amanda Serrano.”
“You made it too apparent, my man. No marvel you’re like 0-16 this yr; you’re distracted as hell. Eddie, I do know you’re a belief fund child, and no person confirmed you the way males are imagined to behave, so right here’s just a few classes,” De La Hoya concluded. “We don’t get our steaks nicely executed, we don’t go to brunch, and we certain as hell don’t sh-t the place we eat. Get it collectively, dude.”
