Fight is getting closer and he has to really focus, gambling addiction is not problem but this can have bad impact on the fight because gambling addiction can make him experience mental problems.
If it only about money then whether he wins or loses he will still get share of the payment for the fight against Devin Haney, but this is not about money or bankruptcy after retirement but about his career as boxer.
Ryan Garcia is still young and he is boxer who has very good potential in the long term, mental health must be really taken care of, especially before he made everyone think he was crazy because of his unreasonable attitude.
Previously he had an undefeated record, but when he faced Gervonta Davis, who is also boxer with the same undefeated record, Ryan lost his record because he lost by knockout in the seventh round.
If in the next fight against Devin Haney he experiences mental problems and is not focused on the fight, then it is possible that Devin Haney could cause Ryan to suffer second defeat.
Devin Haney himself has never experienced defeat and has the undisputed champion title, so this is tough fight for Ryan, considering that his current condition is really not what it was before he lost to Gervonta Davis.
This might not affect him this time as the fight is already scheduled but this could affect his future matches and career itself. Because of addiction, it's a serious thing that a professional athlete that can ever get involved.
Other boxers might not choose him even if the fans want them to fight because there can be some thoughts that it's going to be not a serious fight and it can all be bought and sold as they box. Well, the typical known and selling out of fight but I am not saying that he's going to do it but the possibility is there but not yet and hoping that it won't happen.
But when conditions such as addiction cause problems related to mental health, the effects that can be felt don't take long, for now he does look like someone who has experienced these effects and does not rule out the possibility that it could influence the fight that will soon be fought.
There are not 2 weeks left for this fight and indeed both of them are in training camp more actively to prepare themselves for this quite important fight, but no one knows whether Ryan Garcia will be as fit as he was in training camp or not.
What is clear is that now many people are starting to doubt Ryan Garcia and that Devin Haney has the possibility of winning this fight.
Money is everything but winning this fight is very important to be able to remain at the peak of his career with the title he has in store, that way the winner can also have the opportunity to win belt in another division.
Devin Haney stated that he was serious about this fight and he was confident enough to make Ryan Garcia really fall and lose by knockout, after winning, if he really is knockout, Devin Haney also stated that there would be no more rematc.
