THE CHAMP wants to fight. SOMEONE RUN THE SCRAP\u201d said Ryan Garcia on X.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan is likely doing a lot of talking to ensure he doesn\u2019t get stuck with a mandatory defense that pays peanuts. By demanding Conor Benn or big-name rematches, he\u2019s forcing the hand of his promoters.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that Ryan has the WBC belt, but the division is currently a waiting game. Unless someone like Turki Alalshikh decides Benn is worth the investment despite the Regis Prograis struggle, Ryan might find himself staring at a stay-busy fight that he definitely doesn\u2019t want.<\/p>\n<p>If Ryan had that \u201cfight anyone, anywhere\u201d mentality, he wouldn\u2019t be in this situation. A \u201cSugar Ray Robinson\u201d would have already signed to fight the most dangerous guy available just to prove a point.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan\u2019s current situation is a perfect example of a fighter being trapped by his own financial expectations. Because he has such a massive following, he feels he can\u2019t take a \u201cnormal\u201d title defense without it being a blockbuster event.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s telling that Ryan\u2019s interest in Benn spiked right after Benn looked beatable against Regis Prograis on April 11. It\u2019s the business-first mindset. He\u2019s looking for the highest payout with the least amount of technical risk.<\/p>\n<p>By dismissing Rolly Romero as an option but chasing a guy who just got his eyes cut by a 37-year-old Prograis, Ryan is showing his hand. He wants a name he thinks he can beat comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Galm is a boxing journalist who has covered the global fight landscape since 2014, specializing in heavyweight analysis, industry trends, and fighter psychology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI want to fight to fight so bad \ud83d\ude29 I feel even more now that I have a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-558022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
