Bill Haney: “Ryan Garcia, You’re Blowing Your Opportunity”

Bill Haney posted a video showing his son, Devin Haney, training in the gym and letting Ryan Garcia know that he’s got “six hours” left to sign up for drug testing for a rematch to happen. The ultimatum has failed to get a response out of Ryan, who is silent on social media.

The six-hour deadline appears to be Bill’s power play. If Ryan agreed to it, it would be a sign of weakness. It would put Ryan in a one-down subservient situation if he agreed to the demands.

What’s unclear is why Bill would want Ryan to sign up for drug testing without negotiations for a fight and with his lawsuit still active. Why would Ryan want or need to sign up for drug testing unless Haney dropped his lawsuit and negotiations had taken place?

Haney (31-0, 15  KOs) needs the rematch more than Ryan because Kingry trounced him last April in Brooklyn. He has fewer options than Garcia because he’s not a PPV star, and he doesn’t have a massive following on social media like him.

Ryan has 12.2 million Instagram followers compared to Haney’s 2.7 million, which is a significant difference.

“Kingryan, Tick Tock not the app but the clock. The world finds out without drugs and alcohol, you are just as scared to lose as your fans that don’t pressure you to help make this sport clean and glorious again,” said Bill Haney on Instagram.

“Ryan Garcia, you’re blowing your opportunity. You got six hours left. You said you were working. We are, too. Let’s see how bad you want it,” said Bill Haney, giving Ryan a deadline.

It doesn’t look like Haney will be fighting Ryan Garcia next. Bill should have already floated the idea of dropping the lawsuit.

In the training video of Haney, he did not look powerful or fast with his punches. When he comes back, he’s going to need to either drop down to 135 or fight someone without power at 140 or 147 who won’t take advantage of his power issues.

You have to be dumb if you think ima listen to what bill Haney request

First of all they are suing me

Second of all I don’t need them at all
