I wonder if Rolly is kicking himself after losing out on his biggest paycheque and his title to boot
I guess uncle Al knows better lol

Oscar is saying what he needs to sell tickets for this fight. He knows deep down that Garcia is going to get his butt kicked in this fight. Garcia in my mind is a good but not great fighter. He is a good name for fighters to have on their record. I got Haney winning this fight by a boring decision. After this fight Garcia will be a division gatekeeper.

I think it's too soon to declare Ryan Garcia as a major PPV attraction because the sample size is too small. Davis/Garcia is one fight, let's see if he can continue having success....and if he continues to lose, will those losses begin to negatively affect his drawing power.

Ticket sales are sluggish and people aren’t interested in this fight enough to pay for it.

Garcia is damaged goods after the tank loss and all his nonsense since. Victor Ortiz 2.0.

Bwahahaha this article is another joke. A-side? Dudes had one big fight he got schooled and quit in never won a belt and is a head case on social media. Not sure how anyone calls this kid “a”side anything unless the “a” stands for you know what lol

[crimsonfalcon07]

Would have been A-side and selling huge if he'd gotten the Rolly fight instead of Pitbull. Dunno WTF people were thinking about with that. Haney v Cruz and Rolly v Ryan would both have been more interesting fights that would have sold better than what we got.

the gatekeeper part is correct.... thats his level

[TonyRespectful]

Gatekeeper ! Oscar gives out another backhanded compliment ! Savage,Oscar holds grudges forever!

Yea that never seemed like a great move by him. I thought he was probably gonna lose to both & in that case going for the biggest check seems the clear & obvious move. And I think you could argue Ryan was the more beatable of the two + gives Rolly more upside by fighting him but esp if he were to win. Not surprised by a dumb move by Rolly tho.
