Ryan Garcia recently admitted that his erratic behavior prior to his fight against Devin Haney was a premeditated publicity stunt, designed to throw off his opponent and generate media buzz. In a series of interviews, Garcia revealed that his actions, which included faking a mental breakdown and health concerns, were planned and recorded months in advance with his team. This revelation came after his victory over Haney, which was also marked by commentary from retired champions and sports analysts on Haney's inability to adjust during the fight. The strategy, according to Garcia, was aimed at ensuring he gained a psychological edge and maximized attention towards the bout. Additionally, Garcia responded to UFC champion Sean O'Malley's call-out and received advice from Floyd Mayweather before the fight.
