Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins on Ryan Garcia: 'We're Not in the Business of Kissing a Fighter's Ass'

[Dare7]

Now I can see that ODLH is not a good promoter and B-Hop is not a good business Man.

Right now Ryan Garcia win or lose is their cash cow and he is legit on that.
B-Hop and ODLH bailed of Ryan after he lost and B-HOP is out here talking trash about a fighter currently under their promotion and who is their cash cow. I can see why fighters left Golden Boy.

Is Ryan Garcia the first fighter to lose in a promotion? Fighters win and lose! Tommy Hearns lost to fighters, Ali lost to Leon Spinks, Smoking Joe lost and several fighters, did that diminish them? Both B-HOP and ODLH both lost and did that diminish them?

B-Hop is talking rubbish here! Support, Motivate and Promote your fighter! Period!

Infact Ryan Garcia don't need them!

Fighters these days just aren't what they used to be. Too much talking and social media. Just a couple decades ago, fighters would fight often and prove themselves over and over each year. Now you get a guy who thinks he's a mega star, should be treat like one, paid like one, and asking him to fight at least once a year is almost insulting to them.

Well why was Hopkins silent when they promoted Canelo and he was busted, PEDs? culo kissing big time, no ?

[IceTrayDaGang]

why would anyone wanna sign onto this promotional company? GBP has shown their fighters nothing but hate!! making bob arum and top rank look like a saint.

King Ryan had his crown knocked off with a body shot. He needs to stay focused and disciplined. Forget about the war of words. Worry about the wars in the ring!

Agree, reporters are the worst. Ellie comes to mind right away. But as a promoter, you must sell your product. You can’t go to interviews and bash your biggest attraction.

Exactly

B-Hop telling it like it is.

basically u are not even a world champ dude, u have delusions of grandeur & u want people to treat u like u are the p4p no1 guy in the world proven without a doubt

I don't think he does - boxing is about money first , sport 2nd [unfortunately] - so Ryan knows his worth to GBP - he wants them to treat him like a P4P top five money maker in the sport- and if that sounds crazy - who is a bigger financial attraction ?
1/ Canelo
2/ Fury
3/ Joshua
4/ Tank
5/ Garcia - if not, who?

Basically I’m not interested in a thing Ryan Garcia has to say until he can provide a real answer to this question about the fight with Davis: If you were able to spring to your feet when the ref’s count would have reached “11,” why couldn’t you do it when it actually reached “9”?

We all know the answer, he quit

[Robi13]

As much as I am skeptical of Ryan’s chances of becoming great one day, what I do know is that Ryan is one of few fighters that do not need a promoter. Tread lightly golden boy because the kid has a huge following and any fight he is in will do well, specially vs another marquee name.
