He is good at selling his fight, so he could just be manipulating us so we will continue to talk about him. Good or bad publicity is still publicity, and it will work to attract people's attention. I doubt that this fight will not happen; they will make sure it will because they will be making a lot of money on this fight. Ryan may lose, but he will be a huge winner if PPV will hit the roof again and might surpass his previous success.
Well, after he lost to Davis, he seems also lost some motivation to train more to make himself prepared for this fight and we all know that he gonna win this fight if miracles happen because Devin Haney is the least opponent they can match against him because he can actually beat Garcia flawlessly without even sweating due to his high-level experience based in his last fights. But whoever took this fight seriously and exerted all necessary effort to go inside the ring with 100% preparation, I guess if he lost the fight, he had nothing to worry about and if he won, he surely deserved it.
