Ryan would be dumb to leave Goldenboy. To me, it seems like the partnership makes sense. In some way, he resembles a young Oscar. Goldenboy doesn’t have many stars in their stable, so aside from Canelo, Ryan is the main focus. Oscar’s approval means a lot to Mexicans and Mexican Americans. Al Haymon didn’t make most of the fighters under PBC. That was mostly Oscar. Al hasn’t been able to make a star of his own.
Fighters might get paid more with Haymon, but Oscar makes fighters rich with ventures outside of boxing. Even Victor Ortiz got movie roles and some other gigs under Oscar and he lost a lot of fights. Look at Canelo with Under Armor and Corona. Hispanics are the demographic that buy the most PPVs and Oscar knows how to reach out to that audience.
If Ryan Garcia leaves Oscar:
1) It would be a terrible marketing move. Ryan Garcia looks better under the Goldenboy Roster
2) His career wouldn’t be carefully managed. Let’s face it, he has talent, but they’re being soft on him
3) He will be limiting himself to just boxing and selling cheap Instagram products. Oscar can turn him into a businessman
We’re in a recession and a pandemic. Ryan Garcia folded a smaller man in a round in his last fight and got $250k for it. He’s not a world champ, so $200k for a tune up in an empty arena isn’t bad. That’s the minimum amount in his contract, he agreed to it and we’re in a tough time. Many DAZN subscribers cancelled and no one can attend these fights. Ryan should be happy and shut up.
