His mother should have let him be a fighter and earn it, in retrospect. Making him a social media 'celebrity' before he had 10 fights made him some money, a big chunk of which will go to child support cause he has a bunch of them. And it made him a pathetic, attention seeking buffoon. If he doesn't have boxing as a vehicle to make a spectacle of himself, I shudder to think of what he might do next.
Does make you wonder a bit where he fits as far as the new norm in young fighters. Used to be that ring success would grow/make the star and we'd see cases of fighters getting overwhelmed with it and spiraling down. Ryan pretty much put the cart before the horse as far as popularity and social media rise. Brought that into buys and sales, but hardly has the mentality and skill set of a tried true top tier champion. Unfortunately, there's a massive wave of newer fans who embraces cutting corners and the adolescent fuckery Ryan has proven to be all about.
