De La Hoya used the moment to renew criticism of the UFC’s business practices and its influence on combat sports legislation.Schofield seems to agree with De La Hoya’s stance on the gambling issue. In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, the 21-year-old said:"They've got to stop that gambling. We don’t know what’s going on, but I’m with Oscar on it. I know everybody sees the clapback Thursdays, and you know Oscar told y’all so. So you know we got to listen to Oscar more often."Check out Floyd Schofield's comments below (3:30):Oscar De La Hoya taunts Dana White amid UFC betting scandal investigationOscar De La Hoya seized the moment to launch a fresh verbal tirade against Dana White and TKO.De La Hoya mocked White online, accusing the UFC and its parent company of corrupt practices and exploiting fighters. His remarks reignited their long-standing rivalry as he doubled down on his defiance to TKO’s push to reshape boxing regulations under the Muhammad Ali Act.Speaking in a video uploaded on his Instagram handle, De La Hoya said:“News came out this week that I cannot ignore, and one of my enemies is in boiling hot sh*t...

Was anybody really surprised? No!”He added:"I’ve been trying to tell you guys, these TKO guys are scumbags! And now they’re trying to change the Muhammad Ali Act to f*ck boxers over. Get the f*ck out of our sport. Everything you touch turns to absolute sh*t. And now you have the FBI crawling up your a*s? Good f*cking luck."
