It’s true in a way that Ryan talked his way into the fight with the 28-year-old Gervonta, but when you have 9 million Instagram followers, that puts you at the head of the class in boxing. With that kind of popularity, Ryan doesn’t need to earn the fight the hard way like normal fighters because his popularity outside of the ring is enough.

I cut/pasted this because of the bolded part... which is PRECISELY why I don't like Ryan and hope he gets knocked on his Instagram ass.

If this is the blueprint on how to "get to the head of the class" in boxing... the sport is more fukked up than I thought.
I thought that would be proved by the Jake Paul/ Tommy Fury circus.
