Garcia’s behavior is worrying, considering he’s currently on a multi-city tour to promote his fight next month in April. Haney responded that he wasn’t sure if he would attend Thursday’s press conference in LA due to Ryan’s behavior.
I’m not going to that press conference tomorrow.. this dude Ryan wasting mine & everybody’s time foh

On Thursday morning, Garcia assured fans that he was running 8 miles a day and was only trolling.
“99% of what I’m doing is trolling… You don’t have a six-pack if you’re drinking every day and smoking.”

During the Garcia-Haney press conference on Tuesday, Haney claimed that Garcia was drunk and reeked of alcohol.
“Ryan was at the motherf— press conference drunk as a skunk, but hopefully he get it together before April 20th and I’m gonna have him punch drunk on that day.”
“Ryan is an alcoholic, he drink a lot. We don’t know which Ryan we’re going to get. So we don’t know if he might be off a bottle of Casamigos when he talking that.” said Haney.
It’ll be interesting to see if Garcia is just messing with Haney or if he has serious issues heading into his fight with Haney.
