Via Sean Jones: Oscar La Hoya says carriers still need to reach an agreement so a fight between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Ryan Garcia can be done.
According to De La Hoya, the promoters have hashed everything and they are just waiting to see if the networks can agree. In other words, this is exactly what Stephen Espinoza reported last week about networks.
The point is, Showtime wants to be the only broadcaster for the Tank vs. Ryan, but DAZN also wanted to be able to show the fight.
It’s unrealistic to assume that DAZN will let Showtime have its way by allowing Ryan (23-0.19 KOs) to face ‘regular’ WBA lightweight champion Tank Davis (27-0.25). KO) on their network they don’t show it.
If Ryan has a good chance of beating Tank Davis, maybe DAZN will allow him to fight on Showtime without the match being shown on their platform. But with Ryan almost no shot to win that skirmish, DAZN made no sense to let him take on Tank Davis on Showtime and watch him get wiped out.
It would be a good idea for De La Hoya to start looking for a replacement for 23-year-old Ryan Garcia in the event that the Davis Tank game is not done because of the current situation. good.
Since Ryan is currently saying that he’s a 140-pound athlete, it’s time to get his feet wet into the lightweight division by joining one of the following contenders:
- Gary Antuanne Russell
- Teofimo Lopez
- Subriel Matias
- Arnold Barboza
- Shakram Giyasov
- Jose Ramirez
- Jeremias Ponce
- Liam Paro
“The promoters have done their job. We have come to terms with everything. Now it depends on the network. Showtime, DAZN, please, for the fans, make it a reality,” Oscar De La Hoya told Boxing ID on negotiations between Gervonta ‘The Tank’ Davis and Ryan Garcia.
Ryan and Tank invested a lot of time in this fight. Hopefully they don’t have anything to show for the time they’ve poured into this game.
If the fight doesn’t go through, Tank’s management at PBC and Mayweather Promotions is likely to sign him up against re-read opponent Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, for a rematch of their fight taking place next year. last.
