Ryan Garcia Wants Vegas Over New York for Haney Fight
In a surprising turn of events, Ryan Garcia has voiced his opposition to the highly anticipated Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia pay-per-view fight taking place in New York. The initial buzz surrounding the fight indicated it would be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 20th, offering east coast fight fans a rare treat. However, Garcia took to social media to express his belief that the fight should be held in Las Vegas instead. "This is an MGM Vegas fight," Garcia asserted, signaling his efforts to relocate the bout to Vegas for what he deems as a more fitting venue. Despite the apparent change in plans, Garcia clarified that his stance wasn't personal against New York. "This decision has nothing to do with NYC," he explained, "but everything to do with business and what I believe is the best move for my career." Unsurprisingly, Haney didn't take well to the confusion surrounding the fight's location. He criticized Garcia's apparent hesitation, accusing him of "planning his escape" and questioning his commitment to the bout. In response, Garcia defended his position, suggesting that his participation in the fight was ultimately benefiting Haney financially. The back-and-forth continued as Haney offered insight into the potential reasons behind the relocation issue, citing concerns about affecting ticket sales for Canelo Alvarez's upcoming fight in Nevada. As speculation swirls regarding the fight's venue, Garcia's penchant for stirring up drama both inside and outside the ring comes into play. While his charismatic personality often draws admiration, it also adds a layer of complexity to his career trajectory. Like Tyson Fury in the heavyweight division, Garcia's actions and statements can leave fans puzzled about the direction of his career. #RyanGarcia #DevinHaney #Boxing #CaneloAlvarez
