Promoter Oscar de la Hoya excluded that he tackled a Ryan Garcia against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero Rematch next. He wants a bigger battle for Garcia (24-2, 20 COs), one that will interest boxing fans.
De la Hoya says the Garcia-Romero battle on May 2 on Times Square was too boring for him to hold a second game between them. The fight was indeed one of the dullest on that map.
Of the Hoya on Garcia-Romero II
“No, I don’t actually do it, Because the first fight was a dull battle. If you are a promoter and you are trying to re -broadcast, it is because people want to see it, ”said promoter Oscar de la Hoya to box if he was asked last Saturday if he wanted to do a Ryan Garcia against Rolly Romero Rematch.
Why would Oscar a Garcia vs. Romero 2 rematch wants to make? Ryan is likely to lose bad, and it will not bring in the kind of PPV that other battles such as a Rematch with Devin Haney or a collision against Theofimo Lopez would make.
Rolly Romero’s low involvement
Rolly is not a PPV attraction, and his ability to sell its fights is missing. We have seen how Romero is disconnected During his press conferences to promote his first battle with Ryan Garcia in May last year. He had very little to say and was just as bad for interviewing in the run -up to the fight. It was just before the fight.
The actual attack acted little with Rolly in short Spurts fought, threw one punch at a time and afraid to mix it. Romero should have attacked Garcia because no from him did not come from him.
‘The first battle was not so entertaining. The first fight was not a big case. I believe there are other opponents for Ryan. There are other big names out there, other big battles we can feed like Theofimo and other fighters out there. First things first, I need Ryan to be in great health, ‘De la Hoya said.
If this is the last battle of Ryan’s contract with Golden Boy, your De La Hoya is not to blame that you focus on getting the biggest money for him. Romero is not a fight that will hit it from the park in terms of revenue. He would only be a non-participant, useless person to promote the struggle, and that would bring poor PPV numbers.
