Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney‘s rivalry is not over yet. ‘King Ry’ recently put up a sarcastic offer on social media to help Devin Haney with sponsorship. This back and forth is part of the ongoing animosity between the two fighters that has escalated since their in-ring war earlier this year. Here is what happened:
Ryan Garcia recently took to social media to mock Devin Haney. Garcia ridiculed Haney’s financial standing in light of a recent lawsuit Haney filed. The legal action revolves around Haney’s claims for reputational damage, emotional distress, and lost earnings following his fight with Garcia.
Haney was knocked down three times and heavily criticized for his performance when he faced Ryan Garcia. However, King Ry was later found with ostarine in his system. This invalidated his win but did not stop Garcia from flaunting his performance. Nevertheless, Garcia won’t back down and continues to mock his opponent.
If Devin needs money this bad I got a sponsorship for him
It’s a new kind of tampon
Made specifically for men

He expressed frustration that Haney’s lawsuit focused on financial compensation rather than seeking resolution in the ring. The lawsuit itself has created a backlash against Haney. Many fans perceived his actions as “soft.” They argued that he should handle these issues through boxing, not legal battles.
Devin Haney’s lawsuit against Ryan Garcia may backfire
Devin Haney has filed a lawsuit against Ryan Garcia, claiming battery, fraud, and unjust enrichment. Haney also seeks punitive damages, including Golden Boy Promotions, in the lawsuit. ‘Dream’ accusing them of withholding funds that should be due to him. Additionally, Haney’s team has requested that a portion of Garcia’s earnings be placed in escrow until the legal matters are resolved.
However, this push from the Haneys for some extra cash could really work against them. Netizens have pointed out the fact Bill Haney told Garcia they were coming to ‘kill him.’ That is a leeway for ‘King Ry’ to start his own legal process against Team Haney. Garcia responded to a video reminding Bill of what he said and wrote that he had no other choice but to sue him.
I asked you bill to stop the fight
You let the battery continue
You wanted this beating to

In the lawsuit, Haney has accused Ryan Garcia of battery. However, the fact that Bill could have stopped the battery ‘at any point’ could go against him in court. It will be interesting to see how this entire drama unfolds and if it translates into a rematch between the two boxers.
