HTF is Ryan Garcia getting a title shot?!

[Spicoli]

Short answer is well the alphabet boys are corrupt. Bigger picture is today that loud brash social media accomplished sells big. *See Rolly too. Ryan is everything stated above but idiocy sells and the bodies specifically Sullied'man of the wbc embrace it and award it. Also and more of the 800lb elephant in the room of boxing today is simply..."star" power. Mainly when it comes to the US today. Or huge lack of it today. Back when Morales was beating the stuffing out of a worn and torn Eddie Croft...a helluva nice kid and decent enough but even on his peak day was nowhere on the level of a Morales...it was literally out of sight-out of mind. Just a trip down to Mexico completely off the radar and adding a notch in the belt. And a sanctioning fee to the Wbc coffers. But no one paid attention and all eyes were on Roy making his heavyweight debut the next week. The US right now is massively depleted of live, consistent and monthly star power on multiple platforms. We're not growing local venues and stoking and feeding local fanbases. And when we do have 2,3 of the biggest name US fighters in action it's behind multiple PPV walls in BF Saudi Arabia like next week. I mean Ryans last fight, when we had a massive opportunity to seat massive crowds with Haney return and Teo on the card was literally held for a "live" VIP tiny audience and literally walled off the public and interested fans. Meanwhile Barclays Arena and Madison Square garden just short rides away sat completely empty. Maybe I veered off here but I think Ryan online persona and gimmick marketing fill those self-inflicted voids boxing does to itself now, much like a Jake Paul is filling a void. I mean FFS people fell completely and ironically into and for one of the biggest names and current US "stars" in Tank Davis having a shitshow match vs the same Paul . Its honestly maddening if like all of us here you've followed the sport for decades. Ryan is filler at this point. He's the shiny silly loud toy hanging above the toddler's head. And we the fans of today, well we'll fall for anything slopped down right in front of us. Rant over
