Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) was 3.2 pounds overweight at 143.2 pounds at Friday's weigh-in, meaning the title fight against WBC light welterweight champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will no longer be his belt. . Now it's a normal fight.
Fans watch low value matches
I can understand the fans' opinions on this. The world title fight they originally paid for is no longer happening. Since Haney-Garcia doesn't have the belt on the line, fans are no longer willing to pay the original $69 for the event.
This card was a bad card from the start, with Ryan's erratic behavior and match considered a mismatch.
Without a title, fans are hoping DAZN will lower the price to a more wallet-friendly $40, or even free. There's nothing wrong with this fight, so it makes no sense for fans to be charged. Now that Haney-Garcia doesn't have a title, fans don't think it's worth paying the original full price.
There's no title on the line for Haney vs. Garcia, so why on earth are fans still expected to pay $69 for two spoiled billionaires? People at X say they are quitting DAZN on Saturday nights and looking for other ways to watch games. That's not good.
It's already bad that the undercard is lackluster with nothing for fans to get excited about, and now that it's a non-title match, fans don't think the main event is worth $69.
Porter says Ryan isn't ready.
“If anything, this should indicate he's not ready yet,” Shawn Porter said on FightHype's YouTube channel on Today's Ryan Ryan ahead of Saturday night's match against Shawn Porter. – Talked about Garcia's weight loss.
“If this were a game, it would show Mr. and Mrs. Haynes that they are not ready to change their energy. Apparently he is not coping well. We believe that dehydration will have an impact on game night. He knows how to give. It might still be a game,” Porter said of Ryan.
