There appears to be hassle in paradise. First, Ryan Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, didn’t present as much as the put up struggle press convention earlier this spring after his fighter, Ryan Garcia, was knocked out by Gervonta Davis in some of the profitable occasions in modern boxing (De La Hoya stated he had been receiving dying threats). Now De Ha Hoya is claiming that former nice Manny Pacquiao, is the best choice for the favored Garcia to struggle subsequent. Garcia, suffice to say, isn’t having it, going as far as to basically calling out De La Hoya on social media.
“This isn’t happening!!,” Garcia posted over a Michael Benson tweet showcasing De La Hoya’s hope for a Pacquiao struggle. “I said what I wanted… It’s frustrating.. tired of this.” To make certain, Garcia lately posted what he needed: “3 people I want to fight next,” he had said on Tuesday. “Rollies *they just ordered for him to fight someone’s else. Isaac Cruz *if he’s willing to go to 140. Teofimo López *depending on outcome.” The title Manny Pacquiao actually can’t be discovered on this record. Then once more, De La Hoya could not have been fully critical when he stated Pacquiao was the best choice for Garcia’s subsequent struggle. Promoters, in any case, are apt to say something to maintain the dialog on their fighter.
“I think Manny Pacquiao is the biggest fight that can be made,” De La Hoya advised Marcos Villegas. The iconic fighter turned excessive stage promoter additionally said that he may “see that fight happening at 142, 143 maybe.” Now that Garcia has made it clear he doesn’t see a struggle with Pacquiao taking place in any respect within the close to future – whereas on the identical time making his unhappiness along with his promotional state of affairs public – it’s price questioning what could also be a results of current pressure between the fighter and his promoter.
The fact is that, regardless that he was knocked out by Davis, Garcia is younger sufficient, common sufficient, and proficient sufficient to nonetheless usher in a lot of {dollars} and eyeballs. That means he has a wide selection of opponents to select from. He subsequently, contractual issues apart, has or seemingly may have, a wide selection of promoters to select from, as effectively…ought to he and De La Hoya endure a break. With that being stated, the 2 have had a profitable partnership up till this level. The Garcia-Davis struggle was an infinite occasion, in any case, one thing made much more notable by the truth that no main titles had been at stake.
