He said: “Yeah. I’m glad to go away from him. He’s f**** crazy. I think nobody who knows close (like him) . I don’t know, he’s f****** crazy. He’s hypocrite. He don’t have nothing, no loyal. That’s why he don’t have any fighters left.” 

According to the Mexican, De La Hoya wasn’t loyal and was a crazy and hypocritical individual. Alvarez mentioned that due to his lack of loyalty, fighters are ready to work with him and his old fighters are leaving his promotion.
