Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Feels High Ticket Prices Impacting Gate Sales For Devin Haney Fight

No, it is just that its seen as a mismatch which will likely end in a predictable boring UD for Haney after dominating most of the rds in uninspiring fashion.

Who wants to go see that? Who wants to order a PPV and sit around alone eating mayo out of jar while you fall asleep sometime during the 45 minutes after the bell rings?

But why would you eat mayo out of a jar?

Now miracle whip, there's the chops...

Should’ve been in Vegas or LA. Cryan is a mental midget and Stainey is too boring and ugly to sell tickets.

this is going to be a boring UD win for Stainey, no way does he have it in him to stand in he middle of the ring for 10 seconds and pull a Max Holloway. He’s more of an Aljamain Sterling.

"The face of boxing" should have zero problems selling tickets no matter the price

"Another key factor may well be Garcia himself. Over the course of the past several weeks, he has been active on social media, sharing the kind of recelations and opinions that have had some observers expressing concern about his mental health."

That's the problem...PERIOD!!!

Haney Dreams Of 1 Million PPV Buys, But Reality May Be Different
By Jeepers Isaac - 04/15/2024

Devin Haney predicts his fight against Ryan Garcia will do 1 million buys on DAZN PPV this Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Haney’s prediction of 1M buys seems wildly out of touch with reality.

That’s an ambitious number that WBC light welterweight champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is predicting, but it doesn’t sound realistic given the lack of buzz for his fight with Ryan.

The only one attracting attention is Ryan, while Haney drones on, talking down the fight by describing it as a mismatch 24/7 and having no clue what he’s hurting what little interest there is by scaring away potential buyers.

Haney sounds like a broken record, stuck on boring. Nothing new from this guy, and he’s a real drag on the promotion. I think Haney was better when he wasn’t speaking. Totally useless in creating interest in the fight.

Skepticism and Sobering Numbers

Devin’s prediction seems a tad bit off the mark for these reasons:

• Sluggish Ticket Sales: There is zero buzz about this fight on social media from fans, and it’s looking bad right now. It was a red flag to see Devin’s dad, Bill, taking to social media yesterday to beg fans to purchase tickets and order it on PPV.
• Weak Undercard: The undercard for this event is beyond words horrible. There isn’t one notable fight that fans are showing interest in seeing. The co-feature fight is Arnold Barboza Jr. vs. Sean McComb.
• Ryan’s Erratic Behavior: Garcia’s disengaged, strange interviews highlight his lack of preparation, aside from his fan base. He doesn’t look in great shape, and seems only partially concentrating on his fight with Haney.
• Limited Fan Interest: The interest in this fight and the card isn’t what it needs to be for it to bring in the lofty 1 million buys that Haney is predicting. Boxing fans on social media are predicting the event will bring in between 150 000 and 300,000 buys, and the brunt of those buys will likely come from Ryan’s 11 million followers.

Haney’s last fight brought in only 50K buys against Regis Prograis last December on DAZN PPV

The Fight: Will it Sell Itself?

“I think it’s going to do a million. This fight is big,” said Haney to the Million Dollaz Worth of Game YouTube channel, predicting his fight against Ryan Garcia will do 1 million buys on DAZN PPV this Saturday night.

“People really want to see this fight. It’s big. It’s been a long time coming. We got to see if he’s playing crazy or if he’s really. We don’t know. Right now, it’s my time, and that’s what I’m going to show. I’m in a grove where I can’t be beat. It won’t be close,’ said Haney.

“He can’t let Devin be Devin. He has to let Devin be somebody who knows somebody named Devin Haney. Keep him inside a box so that everything is in control,” said trainer Derrick James to the DAZN Boxing YouTube channel about Ryan Garcia needing to control Devin Haney inside the ring this Saturday night in their clash in Brooklyn, New York.

NYC seemed excited when it was first announced and they had that press conference.

But the buildup has been really bad and downright weird. It killed the momentum instead of adding fuel to the fire.

2 West Coast boys fighting in the East Coast first mistake, economy is on the floor for people to afford the high prices, uncertainty of one fighter Garcia’s promoting the fight sucks! It has the boxing fans confused by his actions. Himself promoting himself will hurt him bad. I’m not buying a high PPV to see an unstable mind, mediocre boxer with limited skills.

[Nightfall]

What impacted the gate was the dam location. This fight should have been on the west coast or in vegas. I said this would happen when it was announced. Golden boy is pathetic

Better to watch it on a big screen tv, or even on your laptop or large sized smartphone.

You get the best viewpoint, camera angles, whilst you miss a fair amount sitting at ringside.

Ringside is mainly for the atmosphere and see the fighters in the flesh.
