WBC #2 lightweight Ryan García could be setting the stage to challenge undisputed WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC franchise champion George “Ferocious” Kambosos in Australia this year. Garcia, a social media phenom with 8.7 million Instagram followers, said the highlights of his fight with Luke Campbell had over 18 million views.
“There’s a reason why they (DAZN) want me to fight Kambosos because the subscriptions that come in when I fight,” García told CompuBoxTV. “The viewership, maybe triple of Haney. I got way less [money] than Devin Haney from DAZN, but I was bringing in way more subscriptions…nothing against Haney, but he’s not willing to put it all on the line to get the knockouts to destroy somebody like I am. He’s there to win the fight. I’m going to win the fight, but I’m putting it all on the line to sleep you and land that shot to knock you out.”
Say what you will about Garcia, but he’s right: he puts his chin out there and is willing to engage his opponent to make for exciting fights (unlike safety-first Haney and others).
You make no sense. Garcia doesn’t fight anymore so how is he “willing to engage his opponent?” Once again you didn’t give thought to what you wrote. You’re SUPPOSE to be safe in such a dangerous sport. Garcia is Safe by not fighting.
I like Garcia I think he’s good for boxing he’s exciting can end a fight at any minute and unlike Haney who tries so much to be like Mayweather I mean he even copies how he talks with the “Ummm” and the “at the end of the day” after answering a reporters question, geez can’t him and Broner just be themselves and quit copying little Floyd already?…
The only thing about Garcia that really worries me is I just really hope that he doesn’t follow in his promoter Oscars footsteps and ends up dressing up in drag and my kids end up seeing those kinds of dirty nasty pictures wearing garter belts and stilettos online. I’ve seen him and heard him speak and he reminds me a lot of Oscar so I know it’s in him to come out with that sick crap I just hope he doesn’t!
Please Ryan don’t do it!!
Nino- u almost had a like man. Ur first part was right on point until ur stupidity kicked in with the second. If u dont want ur kids seeing that stuff, be a better parent and filter their viewings bro. U dont have to bring that trash up on here. U gotta let that crap go. Everyones done some stupid stuff in their life. Im sure u have a closet full of skeletons as well. Let it go!
Tony. I hear you man and you make a point. Didn’t mean to offend anyone bro, it’s pretty obvious you are cool with men cross dressing man but I just don’t agree with that lifestyle but I shouldn’t judge so I’m sorry about that didn’t mean to offend you and the men out there who like that kinda thing man.
Peace out bro
quite the tool you are bro… ur like the sour patch kid of intelligence. you start out pretty descent and then ur intelligence goes straight to the crapper.. carry on buddy, carry on.
done properly he can generate millions doing it the may-way. Brains win fights and careers. Emotional fighters with no control have short careers (Fernando Vargas)
Honestly, I prefer Garcia than Haney against Kambosos. It could be epic and explosive.
All of these top 135ers are killers, like always. This frame just equals P4P the fastest, most explosive punching and superior technique. We are just special. Some Bruce Lee kind of dynamite!
Ryan García just name dropping as always. The people just wanna see you fight period. Garcia twitter followers has not translated to buys and you hear the promoters say this about Garcia all the time.
And Why even mention Haney if you fought to become his mandatory and than duck the fight? Instead of putting it all on the line against Haney he kept Paq name in his mouth.
The reality is Team Garcia plays it safe while Haney pursues the hardest competition. This is what gives Garcia the recent mental issues.
He doesn’t have the confidence he can beat Haney and can only talk about him to the media.
Just fight already………
He puts it on the line? You actually have to fight first. Hasn’t fought in roughly 2years
ok, lets see it.
or just talk some more?
Ryan just fight already! This kids career as of late is like a bad movie!
Id like to see this fight!
hahahahahahaha Superhype will not get the fight either lmao what a joke
I would love, love, LOVE to see Garcia Vs Kambosos!!! Kambosos would blast Garcia around the ring like the little bitch he is before stopping him and it would be VERY entertaining!
Garcia might be a bit too much for kambosos
good fight though
Garcia could be great if he learns a way to avoid putting his chin in the air !!
