On Friday, days befoe the two fighters were set to meet at a press conference in New York, Garcia is trying to have the venue moved to Las Vegas in an effort to maximize earnings.
“This is a MGM Vegas fight, doing everything we can to bring this to Vegas and giving this fight what it deserves!!!”
“This decision has nothing to do with NYC but everything to do with business and what I believe is the best move for my career.”
Haney blasted Garcia’s last minute change of mind.

Which led Garcia to fire back.
“Why are you trying to paint that picture to the public, towards the guy who is making you more money in your life and in your entire career- Sad to see. That is real hoe behavior which you learned from your dad so I can’t blame you.”
It’s currently unclear if Garcia will get his wish but it’ll be interesting to see how things play out.
