Ryan Garcia shows he continues to play by talking about Devin Haney's mental breakdown, father Bill Haney controlling him in promo for April 20th fight suggested that he is still a baby at the age of 25.
Bill's infantilization of Devin is disturbing to Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs), who feels Devin is unable to think for himself and feels paralyzed during press conferences. Emotionally stunted and completely dependent on his father, Devin doesn't know what to say unless Bill speaks for him. He has been at Bill's mercy for so long that he doesn't know how to act on his own.
Interest in the fight between WBC light welterweight champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and Ryan on April 20th on DAZN PPV as tickets are not selling and fans are appalled by the $80 price tag. Further efforts will be needed to increase this. For events.
I feel like they had a poor undercard and one of the worst big-ticket PPV events in memory. For this event to sell, both fighters will need to go into theatrical mode with trash talk and interviews.
Ryan goes for the throat.
“He's a kid and his dad raised him,” Ryan Garcia told DAZN about Devin Haney. That's all he is. They think I'm playing. it's not. He'll find out in the ring. He thinks this is a boxing match. This is not a boxing match for me. This is a battle we cannot afford to lose.”
Ryan questions Devin's maturity, suggesting that Devin is mentally the equivalent of a toddler whose development as an adult is stunted by being dragged around by his father, Bill. In other words, Devin cannot act independently unless she is told what to do.
“Ryan shows he's a kid. Look at his antics. Look at what he does,” Haney said. “He’s all over the place with that.
Haney keeps his cool (most of the time)
“The world is going to see how good I am and how good I am and how things change from being an amateur. Who became the better professional, that's what it's all about.
“Ryan Garcia is just an enemy to me. I'm competing with greatness. This is bigger than Ryan Garcia. He's in my way,” Haney said.
“I'm preparing Ryan Garcia, the boxer, not Ryan Garcia, the activist, TikTok influencer,” Bill Haney told DAZN Boxing. This guy and his antics. April 20th, as we all know, will mark the death of Ryan Garcia. ”
