4/22 SHO DAZN PPV Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs Ryan “The Flash” Garcia

[desjardins]

This fight is only happening because Ryan is doing everything to make sure it comes to fruition. Deserves major props. Other dudes only tweeting at Tank.

Def seems like they approached it with an attitude to concede to whatever Tank demanded to get it done.
Dude in the video is right, agendas ruining boxing making it weird and toxic as shyt. Garcia gotta be on steroids and this is GB cashing him out....instead of it simply being two dudes coming together to put on a fight people actually want to see.

 

[Megadeus]

What about Ryans or Oscar/GBP history would lead you to believe that they are straight shooters who only ever want to take on the best opponents?

Like fam what the FXCK are we even talking about here? some of y'all have memory loss or something?

This fool has given boxing fans EVERY reason imaginable to suspect this shyt might not happen or that there's a potential pull-out in the works.

What about TANK’S history would lead you to believe that they are straight shooters who only ever want to take on the best opponents?

All I had to do was switch his name. Sad.

Dude pushing 30 years old with his most competitive fight being a one-legged washed and blown up Gamboa.

When did I say anything about Tank?

We talking about Ryan here. The dude who has pulled out of more fights than anyone in recent history. The dude who is a self admitted compulsive liar. Who makes up fantasy stories about fighting Pacquiao, who ducks Everyone with a pulse, who had Rolly Romero giving him severe panic attacks. MF is known throughout the industry as the pull-out God.

Suddenly we're supposed to believe that all he's ever wanted to do was make big fights? And there's nothing else to it? EVERY potential noteworthy fight surrounding this dude since he was on the radar has had some kind of fxckery surrounding it followed by him cancelling.

...But ppl are crazy for being skeptical about a fight of this magnitude happening? I have nothing against dude but the facts are the facts. He has a track record of this type of shyt.

For the coli clowns claiming Ryan scared/pulling out/taking PEDS etc, etc.

Same clowns who say Ryan is trash/will get washed (but will celebrate like they won the superbowl if Tank beats said “trash” fighter )

Anyhow, I’ve BEEN saying this. This fight is only happening because Ryan is doing everything to make sure it comes to fruition. Deserves major props. Other dudes only tweeting at Tank.

And yes, props to Tank for dropping Floyd. He almost turned 30 years old without a competitive meaningful match up

Go look at Ryan’s resume… then look at Tank’s resume… then…

 

[TheNig]

Have they chosen a venue?

[Agent Mulder]

Go look at Ryan’s resume… then look at Tank’s resume… then…

You ducked everything I said

 

[Agent Mulder]

Was waiting for this! Boxing Gems just affirming my position. I’m absolutely betting on Ryan against some friends. Easy money!

Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia: Raiders' Allegiant Stadium A Possible Site For April 15​

BY KEITH IDEC
Published Wed Feb 01, 2023, 09:25 AM EST
The biggest Las Vegas venue is at least a possible site for a huge boxing event headed to the “fight capital of the world.”
BoxingScene.com has learned that Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions and his company’s promotional partners will explore the viability of bringing the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia fight to Allegiant Stadium once their contracts are finalized. The home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders hasn’t hosted a boxing show since it opened in 2020, but it could accommodate more than 70,000 fans for fights.
The other two venues that could host the Davis-Garcia card, which is targeted to take place April 15, are T-Mobile Arena and MGM Grand Garden Arena.
High-profile fights are regularly brought to those two arenas in Las Vegas, but both hold far fewer fans than Allegiant Stadium. T-Mobile Arena’s capacity for boxing is slightly more than 22,000, whereas MGM Grand Garden Arena can hold almost 17,000 at its fullest.
A site won’t be solidified for Davis-Garcia until their deal for this Showtime Pay-Per-View main event is completed.
That hadn’t happened as of Wednesday morning, but representatives for Davis and Garcia have exchanged revised versions of their contracts and there aren’t any issues that are expected to prevent them from fighting next. An official announcement could come as soon as next week, barring any unforeseen snags.
Assuming it happens, the 12-round, 136-pound bout between Baltimore’s Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) and Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs), of Victorville, California, could stand as the biggest boxing match in the United States in 2023.
Davis, 28, has developed into one of boxing’s biggest draws in the U.S. and has sold out various arenas throughout the country.
The left-handed knockout artist’s most recent fight – a ninth-round technical knockout of previously undefeated Hector Luis Garcia on January 7 – attracted a capacity crowd of 19,731 to Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. That card generated more than $5 million in ticket sales.
Davis’ first pay-per-view main event – a sixth-round knockout of Leo Santa Cruz in October 2020 – was held at an indoor venue comparable in size to Allegiant Stadium. Alamodome in San Antonio can hold nearly 70,000 for boxing, but COVID-19 restrictions at that time limited the socially distanced crowd for the Davis-Santa Cruz card to an announced 9,024.
Garcia, 24, also has a substantial fan base and should help Davis shatter his most successful pay-per-view performance to date.
Davis’ sixth-round knockout of rival Rolly Romero last May 28 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn reportedly generated a little less than 250,000 buys. That stands as Davis’ highest total out of the five pay-per-view shows he has headlined since October 2020.
Garcia will compete in a pay-per-view main event for the first time.

Might have to check it out if it’s at the stadium. Gonna look at rooms at the Luxor right now .

 

[Agent Mulder]

Never been to a fight in Vegas. I’d love to be there for this but I’m not trying to spend that kind of money right now. I’ll probably have a real nice time here watching it friends anyways.

Btw, could they actually sell this out? I mean maybe if they price the whole too section at like $50 a ticket?

Late pass.
