Canelo Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev is now history.

On Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Canelo moved up by two full weight classes to score an eleventh round knockout over Sergey Kovalev to capture the WBO light heavyweight title.

But most of the fight week was focused on the rift between Canelo and his promoter, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya.

While there has been widespread industry chatter about some differences between Canelo and De La Hoya, the issue exploded after the Mexican superstar told The Athletic that "you can see there's no loyalty in [De La Hoya]. He changed trainers during his career. He changed managers in his career. So there's no loyalty. That's the way he is. We see it now."

Canelo barely interacted with De La Hoya during fight week events, and he even brought his own translator for media functions.

Former world champion Bernard Hopkins is caught in the middle. The boxer is friends with Canelo, but he also has a partnership stake in Golden Boy.

Hopkins would like to get both Canelo and De La Hoya in a room to hash out any problems between them.

"I'll tell you what, if I feel that way that Canelo felt, I'd be gone. It's strong, right? I don't have a filter on my experience because feelings is emotions. I don't operate off of feelings," Hopkins told Brian Campbell of CBS Sports.

"Do you know how many times I have been wrong and I had to get in the room once they eventually got me and it wasn't easy? You get to hearing things that you thought and it's, 'Oh, well I assumed.' We all know this, if you got some time under your age belt, you know it's like real-life talk there. You get two guys in the room there and I guarantee everything they reacted to or was told to them -- normally, that's not the [truth]. But you have to get them in the room and you leave that room and let them work that out.

"My thing is this: I'm going to get both guys in the room and I'm going to leave. Y'all deal with it. It ain't about the money right now, this is about relationships. If you don't have good working relationships than nothing else matters. If that's the case and there is nothing that got lost [in translation] and didn't get addressed the correct way and they get in that room and the conversation needs to happen, maybe they can find out something that they both didn't know.

"But you have to get them in the room and if you get them in the room, I'm willing to guarantee with my 55 years of experience that I guarantee if they cut all that middle out and they say, 'Come on man, I'm going to be quiet and let me hear you out.' You know that's powerful."
