Current ticket sales for the upcoming Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia fight seem to be struggling, prompting Bill Haney to encourage fans to secure their tickets for the bout taking place this Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
However, Bill’s plea comes across as somewhat desperate, considering the timing. The Barclays Center appeared to have plenty of empty seats, indicating a lack of interest, especially without any promotional giveaways to boost attendance.
Devin Haney, the WBC light welterweight champion, appears to be out of his element when it comes to promoting the fight, as he lacks experience in engaging in pre-fight banter. During interviews, he appears scripted and repetitive, failing to bring fresh and engaging content to the table.
Seeking Effective PR Solutions
A skilled publicist could have made a significant difference in this situation. With proper coaching before interviews and assistance in developing new talking points, Haney could have presented himself more effectively and avoided sounding like a broken record.
Considering the financial resources of the Haney family, who have expressed interest in acquiring a mansion in New York’s Hamptons, Devin could easily afford to hire a top-notch public relations team to elevate the promotion of his bout with Ryan.
Following the disappointing pay-per-view performance of Haney’s last fight against Regis Prograis, which reportedly only sold 50,000 tickets in December, it is clear that Haney needs assistance in marketing the current match before it’s too late, signaling a need for a wake-up call.
Bill Haney’s Urgent Appeal
“I talk about it a lot and he comes in and corroborates it. We’re six days away from April 20th,” Bill Haney expressed, discussing his son Devin’s title defense against Ryan Garcia scheduled for this Saturday on DAZN PPV.
“Come on, grab those tickets. We’re here in the city, waiting for you to witness the fireworks, the greatest show on earth on April 20. You are about to witness Ryan Garcia’s downfall in the days to come.”
“Secure your tickets at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. We are present and dedicated to providing you with an unforgettable experience. To all our supporters in Uptown, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Harlem, we are here for you. Join us and back these fighters who come from humble beginnings. There’s no better feeling than showcasing it here in New York.” exclaimed Bill.
