De La Hoya: "Garcia is a Cash Cow"

Oscar De La Hoya, head of Golden Boy and promoter of Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs), commented on the upcoming fight of his client against the WBC champion in the super lightweight division (up to 63.5 kg) Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs).

"Ryan Garcia is a cash cow. Saturday night will be a sell-out. The PPV numbers are going to be off the charts. It's not because of Devin. It's because of Ryan.

It's insane. I don't know if you've heard this saying, 'Just because you beat Tiger Woods doesn't make you Tiger Woods.' Well, guess what? Ryan Garcia is literally like Tiger Woods. Whether he wins or loses, the money follows him. The crowd follows him, and that's why we are here today, to see a big event.

Now you can see how great he is, you can imagine how depleted he was when he fought Tank. Any expert will tell you that half a pound, a pound makes a difference. So, we are very modest here, there's no rehydration clause. Ryan will be at 100%," said De La Hoya.

The fight between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney will take place on April 20 in New York, USA.
