Golden Boy has announced the undercard lineup for the televised Haney vs. Garcia PPV taking place April 20 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, exclusively live worldwide on DAZN PPV.
- In the chief support, undefeated, super lightweight contender Arnold Barboza Jr. (29-0, 11 KOs) will fight for the WBO Intercontinental title against Sean “The Public Nuisance” McComb (18-1, 5 KOs) in a ten-rounder
- Super middleweight Bektemir “Bek” Melikuziev (13-1, 10 KOs) will defend his WBA Intercontinental title in a 10-round fight against Pierre Dibombe (22-0-1, 12 KOs).
- John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-0, 9 KOs) will challenge Cartago, Costa Rica’s David “Medallita” Jimenez (15-1, 11 KOs) in a twelve rounder for the WBA interim super flyweight title.
- WBC #1 ranked super welterweight Charles “Bad News” Conwell (18-0, 13 KOs) will make his Golden Boy debut against Nathaniel Gallimore (22-7-1, 17 KOs) in a ten rounder.
Glad they’re getting Conwell on such a big card but I was kind of hoping Gallimore had called it a day.
Lucie-Yes, that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw Gallimore was his opponent. Cornwell has difficulty finding opponents and Gallimore seems willing to fight anyone. If boxing commissions were truly interested in protecting fighters safety, this fight would not be happening. NYAC is usually pretty good about looking after fighters, but they’re dropping the ball on this one. This is a dangerous mismatch.
Decent card. I might be attending. Currently on pace for 70 pro shows this year. Palm Springs tomorrow and Vegas again on Saturday!
Where is the fight in palm springs, Nordic?

– And General Admission tickets are still starting at $240 which is ridiculous. There are a sh%t load of unsold seats.
– If tickets were more reasonable, I am a train and a subway ride away from Brooklyn, NY.
– Thank you, again, Amazon Fire Stick, for the back-up plan, if needed…….
$ 240 for Ryan vs Haney are too cheap is great deal
“$ 240 for Ryan vs Haney are too cheap is great deal”
– Feel free to purchase tickets for the FightNews commentating family…….
Canelo vs Munguia tickets are running $450 – $7,500!
– I saw a mind-boggling $11,650 price for a first-row ringside seat for Haney/Garcia on the Barclays Center site.
– General Admission tickets are now down to $126 as of 4/9/2024.
– Keep on dropping………
Jimenez vs Ramirez is the only decent fight, and it has to be for some meaningless belt!
Ouch. Feels like a semi-weak ESPN card.
I would say more like a solid ESPN card.
Terrible undercard. One of the worst I’ve seen in sometime. Not one notable fighter on it
I don’t mind watching young fighters or unknown fighters on pay-per-view cards but not all of them, so yea i agree with you Kp.
I thought it was just me. I will skip the undercard and get to the main event.
I think we all are different ..when it’s a huge main event I don’t care about the rest of the card , this time I would be so happy to watch you, Ryan vs Haney and it’s more than enough
We are far away of those years when we had up to 5 championship fights
In sep 1994 there 5 championship fights
Julio Cesar Chavez vs meldrick Taylor
Trinidad vs campas
Frankie Randall vs coggi
Finito Lopez vs saenmorakot
And I can’t remember the 5th one
But yea now days PPV is more expensive and less quality fights
I think it was Ruelas vs Leija, no?
I THINK you’re right ! !…THAT was a GREAT card !!!!
Yes, you’re right it was Ruelas vs Leija which was a great fight though
Carlos, this isn’t yearning for the good old days…it’s asking for value for our hard earned dollar! If we accept crap, then they will continue to give it! I’m passing on this card and encourage everyone else to do the same. And make sure to comment too, because someone might get the message.
BTW, Haney vs Garcia isn’t even a true top bill. Haney is boring and Garcia’s limitations will not get him off his bicycle. At best this should be a Co-main.
Don King would load up his undercards with world title fights back in the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s. I never understood how he could afford to pay their purses. According to some fighters, he wasn’t.
This fight card is terrible and we all know Ryan is more interested in promoting conspiracy theories on Twitter than actually trying to win a fight lol
Conspiracy theories?? Sure dude, keep believing the MSM.
Anyways, garbage undercard.
With both headliners being from the West Coast, I’m curious as to why it’s being held in New York. Anyone have an opinion on this?
I’m thinking it’s in new York so that it does more PPV being out east. 3 hour time difference and more of their fans will get it out this way.
Never heard of these guys. Good thing my friend mister stick will be chugging beers with me on 4/20
The main event remains bizarre going in with Ryan’s theatrics of late. It is still weeks from fight time. A Pugilist must be extremely focused for gladiatorial temperatures that the fights entails. I don’t see Garcia adjusting psychologically in-ring with all his pre-fight unfocused behaviors. The way Haney handled himself against Lomachenko gives him significant combat edge for having travail through such a close fight. Social media and the constant interviews of numerous interviewers has crippled the focus of all fighters who engage thereof.
not interested haney the more talented fighter he should win not a great undercard keep your money
