Ryan Garcia blasts relationship with Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions
Garcia sparked the conversation of riffs between the Mexican boxer and De La Hoya that dates back to 2019 and told Ring Magazine that he has sought to "be the bigger person and mend the relationship."
"He causes a division in people, and he doesn't know how to keep a good relationship. He likes to air people's business and do things that a promoter shouldn't. He's always been coming at me," Garcia said to Ring Magazine. "There's always riff-raff. I don't care that he posted the screenshot because I know my worth."
These comments come in the wake of Garcia's recent loss to Rolando Romero, who surprised the heavily favored Garcia with a unanimous decision victory after 12 rounds, marking one of the most unexpected upsets of 2025. However, rumors of a potential rematch between Romero and Garcia are in full swing, with talks already in advanced stages for a possible fight scheduled for December, according to DAZN.
'After the Romero fight, they gave me the worst offer you can ever imagine," Garcia told Ring Magazine. "And then Oscar tried to take my rematch with Rolly and give it to Raul Curiel. I've been trying to get the Rolly rematch, and now you want to give it to another fighter?"

Apple TV claims huge viewership increase for Leagues Cup. Here are the details.
Apple TV has had a 100% viewership increase during the first week of the 2025 Leagues Cup tournament compared to last year, Leagues Cup executive director Thomas Mayo told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday, Aug. 2. Inter Miami's first match in the tournament against Atlas on July 30, which was Lionel Messi's first game after his MLS All-Star Game suspension and Rodrigo De Paul's debut with the club, became one of the top three most most-viewed matches on MLS Season Pass in 2025, Mayo added. FS1 and Univision have also claimed double-digit rating gains, with official numbers expected to be announced later this week. Social media impressions have also increased by 233%, according to the Leagues Cup executive. The format is catching on: While 93% of the matches are between Major League Soccer clubs and Mexican Liga MX teams from Mexico, the teams are competing to be among the top four from their respective leagues to reach the knockout stage. Matches tied at the end of regulation immediately go to penalty shootouts, adding thrilling finishes like Mazatlán's 11-10 win over Los Angeles FC to settle a 1-1 draw. Mayo credits the players' 'energy and excitement to win' as a major factor in the first week of viewership success. 'It boils down to a positive narrative of this rivalry between the two leagues, and we're seeing that come out strong in these four opening games,' Mayo said in a phone interview. 'This is a tough competition to win. The performance levels are high, and the fans and viewers are liking it.' The buy-in from players and coaches has also been significant, with Messi delivering a glowing compliment to the tournament's format change after he delivered the game-winning assist in Inter Miami's 2-1 win against Atlas. 'It's a nice test for us too, playing against Mexican teams. Now the format has changed, and honestly, it's more enjoyable and easier to play, right? And it's a nice competition,' Messi said in an Apple TV interview. 'Though we're playing against Mexican teams, the table is on our side, and we have to score more than the others. So, winning is very important.' Messi led Inter Miami to the first Leagues Cup title, shortly after his MLS arrival in 2023. He was injured and did not play in the 2024 Leagues Cup, won by the Columbus Crew. The first phase of the 2025 Leagues Cup group stage has provided some memorable moments. Reigning MLS Cup champions L.A. Galaxy beat Tijuana 5-2 on July 31. It was a big win for the Galaxy, who rank last in the MLS Supporter's Shield standings, while both Tijuana goals were scored by 16-year-old Mexican phenom Gilberto Mora. The Seattle Sounders, who played in the FIFA Club World Cup, dominated 7-0 against reigning Concacaf Champions Cup winners Cruz Azul on July 31. Pedro de la Vega finished with a brace, but his final goal of the match may be one of the best goals scored this year. 'I didn't actually know what I was going to say to them in the locker room because it was such a tremendous win for the club. In this club's history, it ranks right up there with all of the big wins that we've had,' Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said after the match. FC Cincinnati, led by MVP candidate Evander, won 3-2 against Monterrey, a significant win against a side that played during the FIFA Club World Cup. 'We have the chance to win the Supporters' Shield, MLS Cup [and] we came with everything to win this Leagues Cup, and we are going to go for it,' Evander said. Phase One continues with Messi and Inter Miami facing Necaxa on MLS Season Pass, while Club America faces Minnesota on FS1/TUDN on Aug. 2. The final three gamedays for Phase One are Aug. 5, 6 and 7 — when the knockout stage will be decided. The Leagues Cup quarterfinals are Aug. 19-20, the semifinals on Aug. 26-27. The final and third-place match will be played on Aug. 31. The finalists and third-place winner will receive berths to compete in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup — a pathway to the next Club World Cup in 2029. 'For some players, the Leagues Cup is their first international tournament and some teams could win their first international trophy,' Mayo said. 'People are starting to recognize that over the next 10-20 years of how important this will become as a cornerstone of not only global soccer, but for U.S. Soccer as well.'

Red Sox Open Intriguing New Path For Fan-Favorite Prospect To Reach MLB
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox have so many good young position players that it's become difficult for the next wave of prospects to carve a path to the big leagues. This season, the "Big Three" of Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Kristian Campbell all debuted, while rookie catcher Carlos Narváez has won the starting job behind the plate. Last year, it was Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu getting their first extended looks, and both have become instrumental pieces of the outfield. That leaves the outfield picture overcrowded, as many Red Sox fans are keenly aware. And it leaves little room for top prospect Jhostynxon Garcia, a fan-favorite minor league outfielder nicknamed "The Password," to make his big-league impact. FORT MYERS, FLORIDA - MARCH 14: Jhostynxon Garcia #91 of the Boston Red Sox walks into the dugout before an exhibition game against the Minnesota Twins at JetBlue Park at Fenway South on March 14,... FORT MYERS, FLORIDA - MARCH 14: Jhostynxon Garcia #91 of the Boston Red Sox walks into the dugout before an exhibition game against the Minnesota Twins at JetBlue Park at Fenway South on March 14, 2025 in Fort Myers, Florida. More Maddie Malhotra/BostonGarcia, the No. 88 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, has raked in Double-A and Triple-A this season, but he's primarily played center field. It was somewhat surprising he wasn't traded at Thursday's deadline, but perhaps the Red Sox see a new path forward for him to arrive in Boston. According to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, the Red Sox intend to get Garcia some reps at first base at some point this season. McCaffrey initially reported that tidbit on Tuesday, but it picked up traction when she wrote a separate post about it on Friday. "Red Sox farm director Brian Abraham ... said getting Garcia reps at first is something they've discussed. Still, since Kristian Campbell was optioned to Worcester and has seen increased time at first, alongside Vaughn Grissom, there's been less playing time available to introduce Garcia to the spot," wrote McCaffrey. "He suggested they'd try to get Garcia reps at first base at some point later this season." First base has been the most unstable position for the Red Sox all season, with Triston Casas' injury, Rafael Devers' refusal to play the position, Campbell learning in the minors, and Abraham Toro and Romy Gonzalez continuing their platoon for the last three months. If Garcia, who has a .921 OPS in 52 games at Triple-A, can learn the position, perhaps he has a long-term future in Boston after all. And though he's played adequate defense in center this year, he does have more of a first baseman's build. By no means has Garcia yet secured his long-term spot in the Boston lineup, but this could be a key step in that direction.

Beloved '60s Rock Icon Suddenly 'Slipped Away' 39 Years Ago Today and Changed Music Forever
Beloved '60s Rock Icon Suddenly 'Slipped Away' 39 Years Ago Today and Changed Music Forever originally appeared on Parade. Of all the rock bands in the world, it's safe to say that the Grateful Dead's fans are known for being perhaps the most devoted in music history — with the band's late lead guitarist and singer, Jerry Garcia, inspiring the most love of all the members in listeners around the world. So when Garcia lapsed into a diabetic coma on July 10, 1986, fans were absolutely devastated. And while he woke up five days later, the aftermath of Garcia's coma would change the course of the Grateful Dead's future. As The Los Angeles Times reported that week, Garcia "was hospitalized after slipping into a diabetic coma" as a result of an infection caused by an abscessed tooth. According to The Wrap, his blood sugar was the second highest the doctors at Marin General Hospital in California had ever seen, and his kidneys had shut down. "His heart stopped,' his wife at the time, Carolyn Adams (Mountain Girl), said later. 'He died. The hospital didn't want anyone to know this, but he died. They had to resuscitate him.' Adams was told her husband might be brain-damaged if he survived. Miraculously, Garcia came out of his coma five days later, but he had a long road of recovery ahead which involved learning how to play guitar again (in addition to walking and other basic skills). In an interview recovered by Grateful Ramblings and published by Rock and Roll Garage in 2021, Garcia reflected on the "very weird" experience of being in a coma. "My main experience was one of furious activity and tremendous struggle in a sort of futuristic, space-ship vehicle with insectoid presences," he recalled. "After I came out of my coma, I had this image of myself as these little hunks of protoplasm that were stuck together kind of like stamps with perforations between them that you could snap off.' After waking up, Garcia explained, 'I was pretty scrambled. It was as though in my whole library of information, all the books had fallen off the shelves and all the pages had fallen out of the books. I would speak to people and know what I meant to say, but different words would come out. So I had to learn everything over again. I had to learn how to walk, play the guitar, everything." Only five months later, the Grateful Dead were back on the road again. Garcia's renewed health helped to inspire their 1987 comeback record, In the Dark, which became their best-selling studio album. 'Garcia's return was greeted as a veritable Second Coming by his fans,' Garcia's biographer, Blair Jackson, wrote. Sadly, Garcia would continue to struggle with his health in the years to come. In an attempt to deal with his ongoing addictions, Garcia checked into Betty Ford Clinic in July 1995, then Serenity Knolls, a Bay Area holistic health retreat, two weeks later. He died in his room there on August 9, 1995, after suffering a heart attack.
