Connor Ben prices $15 million for the Battle of Ryan Garcia, citing “abused” losses to Rolly Romero
Connor Ben says he’s not interested in fighting Ryan Garcia, but if he offers “$15 million.” He says he would never want to face him “out of money” because he was “abused” after being defeated by Rolando Rory Romero last May.
The Grand Plans of Career Under Achiever
Ben (23-1, 14 KO) is suffering even worse abuse in his defeat against Chris Eubank Jr., but he makes excuses as he was fighting the middleweight division. He went up two divisions to 35-year-old Eubank Jr. Rolly technically fights in Welterweight, but he looked like a junior middleweight when he rehydrated for the battle for Garcia.
The version of Rolly who defeated Ryan could defeat Eubank Jr. and Benn. Neither beats world-class opposition in their careers. They feasted the British, European and the old washed former champions. These two exist under the radar and picked up the rest of the old fighter jets and the ones who never did good. Some argue that Ben and Eubank Jr. suffer ambiguity in the UK, if not for their famous father.
Connor is interested in the fight against the winner of the July 19 battle between WBC welterweight champions Mario Barrios and Manny Pacquiao. The 28-year-old Ben is hoping to win the WBC title and play Rory in a unified match for the WBA belt. Interestingly, Connor did not mention his desire to compete with WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr.
Ben’s $15 million Ryan Garcia price
“Who am I going to fight? If I say, ‘It’s 15 million dollars here,’ it’s fine. That’s all. But there’s no motivation other than the money for that fight,” Connor Ben said. Fighting Hub TV When asked if he would fight Ryan Garcia. “I have Rolly at WBA. Barrios-Pacquiao at WBC.
It is rare for the promoter to be willing to meet Ben’s asking price of $15 million, as he has achieved nothing in his career. He is competing with Eubank Jr. in a tough 12-round decision loss last April. After Ben loses to Eubank Jr. again, he will be an unworthy opponent for Ryan and Pacquiao Barrios winners.
“No, because he lost,” Connor said. He was asked if the fight against Ryan Garcia would be a huge battle. “We see Rory Romero in Turkey. It’s a battle that definitely wants the line. If we can win the Barrios Pacchiao winner, win the WBC title and unify with Rory, that’s a dream.”
The way Ben speaks it sounds like he’s done a big thing in his career. His best victories come against overpowered 37-year-old Chris Algieri and Chris Van Hairden.
If Ben beats solid welterweights like Jaron’s “boots” Ennis and Brian Norman Jr., he could act and speak in his way. But when his best victories are Algieri and Van Hierden, he lacks the perch that sets the price. Turki Aralsif should not have indulged in Ben and left him where he found him.
Ben’s Unrealistic Payday Expectations
“It’s a big fight, but he’s lost and abused, and he has his own to sort out his stuff,” Ben said of Ryan. “He needs to do a lot of self-care instead of me going. ‘Oh, listen, that’s a money fight.’ He needs to sort himself out first before going near the ring. ”
If Ryan had fired all the cylinders mentally and physically, he could knock Ben on planet Neptune with one of his left hooks. But obviously, if it’s the form he showed against Rory, he couldn’t be anyone, even Devin Haney, who was fired.
