Ryan Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, believes the boxer’s erratic behavior in the weeks leading up to his exhibition fight with Devin Haney was a carefully crafted strategy to deceive his opponent. De La Hoya claims Garcia’s trolling tactics, which included making concerning statements and endorsing conspiracy theories, were designed to make people underestimate him. According to De La Hoya, Garcia’s mind games were successful, as he believes they provoked Haney into fighting in a more aggressive manner. De La Hoya expressed his belief that Garcia’s plan worked both inside and outside the ring, citing the significant financial success of the event and Garcia’s perceived psychological advantage over Haney. The promoter also suggested that Garcia’s unusual relationship with porn star Savannah Bond may have contributed to the perception of him as an unpredictable and mentally unstable fighter.
