Promoter Oscar de La Hoya ruled out Ryan Garcia’s next match against Rolando’Rolly’Rolly’Romero. He hopes to have a bigger fight for Garcia (24-2, 20 KOS) that will interest boxing fans.
De La Hoya said the second match between him was too boring to fight Garcia-Romero on May 2 at Times Square. Indeed, this battle is one of the most boring battles on the card.
Hoya on Garcia-Romero II
“No, I actually didn’t, Because the first battle was a dull battle. When you are a promoter and try to do a rematch, it’s because people want to see it.
Why did Oscars make Garcia rematch with Romero 2? Ryan could lose a lot and wouldn’t bring other people who bought other PPVs, such as a rematch with Devin Haney or a clash with Teofimo Lopez.
Romero’s departure and promotion
Rolly is not the attraction of PPV, he lacks the ability to sell combat. We saw Romero’s appearance Spiritual separation In his press conference, he promoted his first fight with Ryan Garcia last May. He had little to say, and it was equally bad to conduct interviews in the battle leaders. This is before the battle.
There was little movement in the actual round, and Rolly fought on a brief sprint, one punch, fearing the mix. Romero was supposed to attack Garcia because he did not commit any crime at all.
The initiator seeks a large battle
“The first battle is not that fun. The first battle is not important. So, I believe there are other opponents for Ryan. There are other big names, and we can also fight other big battles like Teofimo and other fighters. First, first, I need Ryan to be healthy,” De la Hoya said.
If this is the last battle of Ryan’s contract with Golden Boy, then you can’t blame De La Hoya for being focused on wanting to bring the most money for him. Romero is not a battle to defeat him from the park. He will just be a non-participating, useless person to promote the fight, which will bring bad PPV numbers.
