Ryan Garcia said today on social media that he won’t give Devin Haney a rematch now due to the lawsuit he filed. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) may not have realized that his lawsuit would create this reaction because he wanted a second fight. He may have misjudged what Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) would do.

Assuming Ryan doesn’t change his mind, the lawsuit by Haney is his rematch, and if it doesn’t bring in mega-millions, it will have been a massive mistake.

Not getting the second fight with Ryan leaves Haney in a tough situation because he’s not a PPV draw, and there are no big pay-per-view stars at 140 or 147.

Haney is too big for Gervonta Davis to fight him. That’s the only other money fighter next to Ryan. If Haney moves up to 154, there is only one star: Terence Crawford. However, he only wants Canelo Alvarez, and he likely wouldn’t be interested in fighting Haney unless His Excellency Turki Alalshikh paid him massive money.

Haney filed a lawsuit on Friday over his fight with Ryan Garcia on April 20, alleging fraud and battery. Ryan had tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine.

It’s a money grab. What he’s doing is going to get him more money. I don’t know why he’s dragging it out,” said Ryan Garcia on X, talking about Devin Haney’s lawsuit against him for battery, fraud, and unjust enrichment.

Some fans on social media believe that the lawsuit by Haney is to continue to milk Ryan for money from their fight. There isn’t anyone else for Haney to fight that can give him the kind of payday he got from Ryan. So, if Haney wins the lawsuit and gets a rematch on top of that, he’d be doing really well.

Unfortunately, Haney has shot himself in the foot with the lawsuit because Ryan says he won’t fight him now. We don’t know whether other fighters and their promoters will want to avoid Haney out of concern over being potentially sued for this or that.

“He’s going to take two Ls. One in the courtroom, one in the ring. He was crying to Eddie Hearn that, “You don’t give me no tickets,’” Garcia continued.

“Let’s say they take all my money in the lawsuit. That’s not going to hurt me. None of this is going to stop me. I can’t wait for the trial so I can make them look stupid.

“If I was drinking every day, how would I have a six-pack? How would I make it to 143 if I was slamming beers? They’re suing me because I beat the f*** out of them. They underestimated me so bad,” said Garcia about Team Haney.

Haney felt that because of his recent wins over Regis Prograis, Vasily Lomachenko, and George Kambosos Jr, he had the talent to defeat Garcia without too many problems. Ryan hadn’t beaten anyone near the level of Prograis or Lomachenko during his career. So, Haney assumed that he would beat him based on his superior experience.

“Anytime I wanted to hit him, I could hit him. When I turned it up on him, it was like, ‘boom, boom, boom.’ I’m not going to give him a rematch after this. After the suing and all the funny business. I don’t care if he’s gay. Just admit it.

“It’s getting very embarrassing for him. I’m thinking about fighting in Dubai or Tokyo. I really don’t know what the lawsuit is about. Supposedly, they’re suing me for battery. If anything, he battered me at the Empire State Building,” said Garcia.

Haney is suing Ryan for battery and fraud. Given the trace amounts of PED in Ryan’s system, it’s unclear if a judge would award Haney huge damages to make the lawsuit worthwhile in the first place. If he’s losing the rematch with Ryan because of the lawsuit, it’s a failure if he doesn’t get a massive fortune.
