So much for the narratives about Ryan's star power. Honestly, Ryan should have listened to Floyd and became a champion before making this fight. Don't know if it would have helped ticket sales, but it might have made the fight more marketable.

This aged well ^^^^^^^
You idiots believe anything. It’s the same like idiots that published difficulty selling World Cup tickets because the Middle East was anti L G B T fucc them.
every World Cup game was sold out. Garcia vs Haney was sold out and sold extremely well. Garcia is a bonafide star though I’m not a fan and Haney has enough clout in Vegas to get a couple thousand people on his own.
the fight was sold out and a huge spectacle. Viral on the net and all that good stuff clowns now a days need to feel validated.
When Haney's "comeback" fight tanks he will probably sue Garcia again with the argument Garcia ruined his future PPV sales and he would have otherwise sold 2 million PPV just like he would have otherwise beat Garcia if Garcia didnt consume trace amounts of the weakest anabolic SARM in Osterine
they are all caught with trace amounts it just shows he was cheating and didnt cover his ass as well as he couldhave

If ticket prices are too high for the casual fans that a fight like Haney vs. Garcia attracts, sales are going to suffer. Hardcore fans will still show up, but they’re usually not enough to fill a big venue on their own.
Another issue is the lack of a strong narrative for the fight. Without a clear story or stakes that make it must-watch, even casual fans might not feel compelled to attend.
Which bot are you lmao
this is just the natural flow of sports and boxing
cryins fans thought he was going to beat tank even with the clauses
now they saw him quit and make a zillion excuses & now with his zombie looking crap aliens drugs eating babies and lizard people as well as looking slow & zonked out most of the time
not surprising really that not so many are interested
Everyone knows Ryan should have fought Rolly. That's more of his level right now. Even his Gymshark/Instagram knows this fight shouldn't be happening. Sorry this is like the GGG Munguia when the commission wouldn't approve it.
Apparently.
Garcia himself is not a huge draw on his own.
I didn't bother to watch his fights with Duarte, Fortuna, Tagoe, etc.
He's a big draw with the right partner.
Bigger eggs are splashed on Haney's face choosing this fight. He can't even sell tickets even with cRyin Garcia.
I think I recall he commented he wasn't aware it would be a ppv. But thats all I recall as I don't pay attention to that type of stuff much. But that suggests he assumed it wasn't going to be.
The thing is to me hes in the Devin business & DAZN is in the DAZN business & for DAZN to pay Devin what they needed to secure his services they needed to make it a PPV. So its less of a what did Devin want thing as it is what DAZN needed to do to make the fight. So in that way the fight doesn't happen & Devin doesn't have a belt now if its not a PPV.
I don't think it's a coincidence his last three fights (Loma, Prograis, Garcia) have been PPV. I expect his career to take place mostly on PPV from now on.
teo is like hey brooklyn, thats my hometown u are fighting in
good luck guys i cant even sell out The Theater at the garden
they mustnt like crazy guys so much idk what the problem is
From my understanding that was a Eddie & DAZN decision more than a Devin decision. Devin is a free agent not a DAZN shot caller.
But did Haney ever say he didn't want the Prograis fight on PPV? That would be interesting if so.
PPV is normally used in order to pay for the purses that the boxers are demanding because it doesn't fit within the budget. That probably means DAZN wasn't willing to completely cover Haney + Prograis guarantees, so PPV it had to be.
DAZN was supposedly indecisive about paying Taylor/Catterall what they wanted. Hearn said that the match-up was shopped around and other ent!ties were willing to put it on PPV. DAZN bit the bullet, covered their purses and kept the fight off of PPV.
Haney should have went for a unification.
But Bill and Devin viewed this as a money fight. If it's not selling, then this fight is just regarded as one of Ryan Garcia's stay-busy fights. In other words, this fight is just similar to a Duarte fight.
Devin is so boring. There's something about him as an opponent that just does not sell tickets
For my part, i think he'd be way more interesting if he had power. It's crazy to be a weight bully that's so much bigger than your opponent, have the speed and reach advantages that he does, land so many punches, and have the opponent never in danger of getting stopped. It's less fun to watch something that's a foregone conclusion.
Haney fights are basically all him boxing behind the jab, landing ineffective power shots while banking rounds, and then tying up and waiting for the ref to break them up to lather, rinse, repeat. He's really good at what he does, but a lot of the excitement with boxing is the possibility of a stoppage, and it's been 5 years and 96 rounds since he stopped an opponent, or 100 if you don't count an opponent retiring in the corner.
