Fans on social media are concerned about safety issues for fighters on May 2 ‘Fatal Fury, City of Wolves’ Card in Times Square, New York. Handling the fan situation is going to be a nightmare, as this event is outside one of the busiest places in NYC.
The fighting card
- Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero
- Devin Haney vs Jose Ramirez
- Theofimo Lopez vs Arnold Barboza jr
Altamont echo
Turki Alalshikh has put an AI-generated image of what the outdoor event will look like, and fans are worried that someone could be injured without safety measures. The mass crowd looked like the photo of December 6, 1969 of the Colting when they were a Free concert in Altamont Outside of Tracy, California. A large crowd showed up with tons of violence, injuries and one person who died. It was impossible for safety to handle a crowd of that size.
The Times Square event on May 2 may have the same problems. A large crowd will show up, many of them crazy, and possibly make use of bottles if they are not satisfied with the battle results.

Unjust crowd
Ryan Garcia’s popularity is like that of a fame. He has obsessed followers and haters. It is worrying to put him out in the open public. I would be worried if I was him.
If evil and crazy casual fans go down during one of the fights, the risk is for the fighters. With the goat ring outside, that means someone can be there. If you have been on Times Square before, it’s a crazy place at night.
