Invoice Haney lit into Ryan Garcia right this moment on social media about his daring discuss regardless of by no means having captured a world title to again it up. Papa Haney says Ryan is “yapping” however hasn’t signed up for random drug testing. He sees Ryan as a “faux.”
Will Ryan Garcia Appease Invoice Haney?
Invoice needs that as a preliminary transfer earlier than any discussions can start for a rematch together with his son, Devin, who took a foul loss to Kingry earlier this 12 months on April twentieth in Brooklyn, New York.
Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) examined optimistic for the banned PED Ostarine for that struggle, and Devin sued him for Battery, Fraud, and Breach of Contract. Invoice hasn’t stated whether or not Devin (31-0, 15 KOs) would drop the lawsuit if Ryan indicators up for the drug testing and agrees to a rematch.
Ultimately, Ryan could give Haney the rematch after he cools down and forgets concerning the lawsuit. That will depend upon whether or not a ruling favors Haney and Ryan is caught paying him tens of millions. If that’s the case, the probabilities of Haney ever getting a rematch are fairly low.
Ryan isn’t going to need to appease Invoice and provides concessions simply to get the lawsuit dropped. Ryan won’t say sure to drug testing, a rematch, and doubtlessly taking a smaller reduce of the plunder for the Devin rematch. He’s bought pleasure, and he’ll know he’s giving up rather a lot simply to get the lawsuit dropped, and he may disagree.
The Sharks are Ready for Devin at 147
Haney must transfer on together with his profession, take one of the best struggle he can get, and hope he doesn’t get despatched into retirement. Devin’s choices at welterweight are all harmful and low-paying in comparison with a rematch with Ryan.
– Jaron Ennis
– Mario Barrios
– Brian Norman Jr.
– Eimantas Stanionis
– Conor Benn
None of these fighters are in style PPV sights within the U.S., and it’s questionable whether or not Haney could be the favourite towards any of them, even towards Conor Benn. It’s apparent that Haney’s profession will implode as soon as it reaches the crush depths of the 147-lb division. He’s underquipped energy and chin-wise to compete in that weight class.
Once more, there’s nobody to struggle that he could make the cash he bought combating Ryan. None of those guys have a big 12 million following on Instagram, they usually’re not promotable attributable to a scarcity of charisma. Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn is combating that out with Boots Ennis.
At this level, Haney’s inventory is so low that one other defeat goes to decrease what little marketability he has left. Given the previous two-division world champion Haney’s dimension, he’s outgrown the 140-lb division and might want to compete among the many sharks within the 147-lb division.
Whereas that weight class is barren of expertise, the highest guys have good energy, and it’s tough to image a optimistic future for Haney combating in that division.
In the event you throw Haney in with welterweight champions Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis or Brian Norman Jr, it gained’t finish effectively for him. These two ravenous sharks would feast on a young morsel like Haney, who would don’t have anything to fend them off with however a number of child tooth.
It’s unlikely that Invoice would goal both of these champions for Devin to struggle for a world title at welterweight, however even Stanionis and Barrios could be harmful for him. I don’t assume Haney would beat both of these fighters, despite the fact that they’re arguably paper champions.
If Invoice noticed how dire Devin’s state of affairs was, he’d get on his arms and knees and beg Ryan to provide his son the rematch as a result of, with out that, his profession isn’t price a lot now. It was just about over when Devin moved as much as 140, however the one purpose he gained his first struggle within the weight class is that former promoter Eddie Hearn matched him towards outdated, sluggish man Regis Prograis.
If Hearn had matched Haney towards Liam Paro or Subrial Matias, he doubtless would have been knocked out, and there by no means would have been the chance to struggle Ryan Garcia for him. Haney ought to have stayed with Hearn as a result of he was doing a great job of choosing his opposition.
Some imagine that even when Ryan did all these issues, he must conform to be the B-side within the promotion, have his title second, and take the smaller income reduce. As soon as Ryan agrees to the drug testing and rematch, would he should proceed to leap via Invoice’s hoops and toe the road for the rematch to occur? It could possibly be.
Rematch May Not Be Value It
In the long run, how does Ryan come out forward? Oscar De La Hoya stated the Haney-Garcia did solely 300,000 PPV buys for his or her April twentieth struggle on DAZN pay-per-view. These numbers recommend that the boxing public wasn’t enthusiastic about seeing that struggle, which turned out to be a mismatch, with Ryan wiping the deck with Haney.
Would the rematch usher in larger numbers after what followers witnessed final April? I don’t assume. When followers see a fighter get worn out, they’re not keen to buy the rematch on PPV. On this case, there may be even fewer PPV buys attributable to Haney selecting to sue Ryan, as a result of followers see that as an indication of weak point on his half.
If Invoice needs Devin to get the rematch with Ryan, he ought to have him drop the lawsuit, not make drug testing calls for as a result of he’ll be examined anyway, and take a smaller reduce of the loot based mostly on his defeat final April.
Invoice is making an enormous deal about Ryan not having gained any world titles, however the one purpose Devin gained his titles is that the divisions had been watered down. He picked up three of his belts from George Kambosos Jr. at 135. He was elevated to WBC champion at light-weight. At 140, Devin beat the 35-year-old Prograis to win the WBC belt.
Man, I’m listening to all this yappin’ from Mendacity Ryan who hasn’t even signed up for random testing but—screaming from the mountaintop like he’s bought a belt to again it up. However let’s hold it actual—ZERO championships, simply faux headlines.
