The Quest to Make Ryan Garcia Champ

[greynotsoold]

I am pretty sure that his new trainer is going to be Derrick James. I am pretty sure that he is going to be 'required' to thin his 'circle' (too many clowns in that car).
I think that everybody understands that the farce last weekend was to set up a fight at 140 with Romero.

The Ryan Garcia vs Oscar De La Hoya feud is still going, but now both men have got lawyers involved.

A week ago, Garcia's legal team sent a letter to De La Hoya's Golden Boy promotions claiming there had been violations of their contract which invalidates their promotional agreement.

As such, Golden Boy have responded by filing a lawsuit against Garcia and his attorney and advisor, Guadalupe Valencia, to enforce their contract.

In a statement provided to ESPN, Golden Boy said: "Golden Boy has been proud to have worked with Ryan Garcia for the last several years and to help catapult him to the kind of stardom that led to the biggest boxing Pay Per View event in years just two months ago.

"With this filing, we are seeking to ensure that Ryan and his team will honor the remainder of his contract, a contract that Ryan himself called 'one of the most lucrative boxing deals for a prospect in the history of the sport.'

"Since then, Ryan has moved on to becoming a legitimate contender, and we will continue to present Ryan with the best possible opponents that can eventually lead the way to a world championship and a historic legacy."

This was all prompted as Garcia believes he was abandoned by his team after his loss against Gervonta Davis, due to De La Hoya and other members of Golden Boy Promotions not attending the post-fight press conference.

De La Hoya responded to Garcia's comments on Twitter, saying: "Wtf @RyanGarcia it’s been almost two months and you're still crying about the post presser? The blame for your loss is on YOU and your 'advisor' Lupe. He is the only one who pushed you to accept that INSANE rehydration clause and THAT is the reason you lost. Man up. Own that."

Talk of a re-hydration clause is in reference to the fact that the fight was at a catchweight of 136 lbs, but neither fighter could weigh more than 146 lbs on fight night.

And this prompted Garcia's lawyer Bo Pearl of Paul Hastings to tell ESPN: "Golden Boy is obligated to promote and enhance Ryan Garcia, not malign him on Twitter and file a public, baseless lawsuit against him.

"Ironically, the lawsuit itself constitutes a breach of the very agreement Golden Boy is seeking to enforce. It is obvious retaliation to a letter detailing multiple asserted breaches of contract by Golden Boy."

"Rather than address these serious issues in mediation (as is required under the contract), Golden Boy rushed to court to sue its fighter. To be sure, we will respond to this gamesmanship and fully enforce all of Ryan's contractual rights against Golden Boy as well as his rights under state and federal law."

Fishnets against PauperRy.

I think they should kiss and make up... telling each other how handsome they are, and posing for selfies.

oscar lost canelo & now he's going to lose king ry

They can just freeze up his contract until expired right? Oscar is one of the reason old old heads like King see reason to concede the floor.

Nobody wants to freeze Ryan out; he is worth too much money. His mother did a very shrewd thing, in the way she marketed him. He had a very solid amateur career and so did Gervonta Davis; Davis does 200,000 ppvs until he fights Ryan...then 1.2 million. Davis didn't suddenly grow a fanbase. Garcia's mother built that. She tried the same thing for her younger son Sean, er, "SugarRush" Sean. But he doesn't have much heart for a fight which is good because he isn't too good at it.
Write this down and circle it...when he fights Romero, it is going to do in the 750,000 range in ppv sales. If Ryan wins, he will be back in the million sales range. They will pick his opposition very carefully and he will keep winning and selling.
Nothing has changed. Boxing has always been run that way, in terms of building a guy that can sell that may not be the best fighter. His mother was ahead of the curve in the way in which she promoted her son.
There were 2mistakes made. First, he stayed with his father as trainer for too long. Second, by the time the move was made, he was too big headed to listen. If he learned humility from the loss, that last can be remedied; he is young and gifted and can still become a good fighter. He probably won't, though.
