This was kind of out there already as Tank had the famous "WTF" tweet when he heard the rumor that Ryan was pursuing a Pacquiao fight instead LOL.
But I think there is a good chance this fight happens next, or at the very least early 2022. This fight would do crazy business at the gate and in terms of PPV buys.
Unless Leonard Ellerbe provides a contract offer that was sent, I don't believe it. Floyd himself said only in house fights for Tank. Ryan Garcia is not with PBC.
ellerbe said they approached them in march...did floyd say that in march? is that vid from march? lolol.......hes saying that because he knows arum wont fock with them in regards to tank.....theyve already been told directly or indirectly arum isnt giving them teo or loma and why would he? he can rematch them...he can have teo move up and fight taylor...he can have taylor move up and fight bud...lol......
the guys that run tanks career have been successful in this and know what theyre doing...they also know who they are dealing with and how things work....floyd is just a mouthpiece that runs his mouth...haymon does the real work....this tank shit just keeps floyd busy and ellerbe employed.....stop being silly man.....
oscar aint about to feed the face of his company to tank and have him possibly beaten already at age 22....oscar focked up canelo and lost the most prized asset in boxing...if garcia gets beat up already his company is in shambles.....ryan is his best hope at a star that can carry golden boy....if tank were to lose the pbc would carry on....garcia loses and golden boy, already in shambles, is in near ruins.....use sense
arum will freeze tank out....and tbh if i were arum id do the same thing....but tanks guys know this...which is why they went to ry.....ry talks all that smack to tank on facetime on tysons podcast...talks this big game about fighting pac....and aint doing neither.....
Because he doesn't need any of them. He'll fight whomever he wants. They need him and it's their responsibility to do something about it. Pressure their own promoters. Demand the fight.
Who said anything about needing anyone? None of them need each other. That’s not relevant to the conversation unless you are his wife or manager.
The point is if Ryan isn’t going to fight then you can fight Lopez, Loma, Haney, Farmer, Taylor, bercelt, Valdez etc…
Am sure they are all doing well enough without needing each other, they all can cherrypick and call themselves world champion these days.
Send offers to a TMT/PBC fighter? Where did that get Farmer? Canelo? Andrade? Joshua? No where, they make fights that they want to make. When Ellerbe said they contact Team Garcia it’s because THEY wanted that fight.
They would NEVER contact those names that I put out.

You mean why didn't Pacquiao's fight against R. Garcia, M. Garcia and Crawford didn't happen in the Middle East??? The money was never there when it came down to signing the fight. Three fighters fell victim to the Pacquiao sweepstakes and that's why Spence said he wasn't going to waste his time worrying about Pacquiao.....But then PBC was able to make the fight in Vegas and did not need to go to the Middle East for it.
What does the Middle East have to do with Ryan Garcia?
Then, they should send legit and written offers, for all to see. Let's see if Davis or team refuses.

Exactly...
you saw ryan facetiming tank on tysons podcast right? talking all kinds of sht?!?! im sorry....you dont have to be impressed by it....no ones asking you to....but when people start complaining about who tanks fighting or who hes not understand this is why........ryan is now the face of oscars company since he alienated and botched the biggest prized asset in the sport......so hes not about to put that kid in with tank........but 6 months from now people will be pointing fingers at tank and complaining about his opponents.....now you dont need to wonder why.....ellerbe is answering it for you.....
and when bob keeps teo and loma at home all to himself youll also know...cause thats how arum and this biz operates....you think bob is interested in having tank fight teo or loma right now? when he can rematch them? when teo can move and fight taylor? or taylor can move up and fight bud?
Why should I be impressed that they tried to match Tank Davis against a 20 year old who hasn’t won a title?
that "20 year old without a title" was telling us how he was pursuing manny pacquiao! you know...the manny pacquiao that is gonna fight errol spence! yeah that errol spence! lol....no one said you had to be impressed......just face reality.....ryan was on a podcast talking smack to tank on facetime but when push came to shove and his team approached garcias team they said "no thanks"......thats all...no one said you had to be impressed......but when youre out here crying about who tanks fighting and who hes trying to fight...just realize oscar doesnt want to put the new face of his company in with tank ....and arum is gonna keep loma and teo right at home and away from tank...not because anyone is sure tank beats teo or loma or any of that....but because thats how the business works and thats what arum does
are you ever going to stop being a sad, lame, fgt?
Then, they should send legit and written offers, for all to see. Let's see if Davis or team refuses.
Haney is honestly out of the picture, fair or not....Tank vs Garcia and Lopez vs Loma II...Winners face off in 2022.
Am sure Haney, Loma, Lopez and others would fill in for Ryan. Let him “Heal” don’t need to look for weak opponents.

Then why didn’t it?

As I was saying, good chance this fight happens later this year or early 2022.
Guaranteed stoppage in this fight within six rounds.
It's not happening. Tank kos him in 4 rounds or less.
ryan has a nice lil fanbase...he has the instagram crowd...the youtube/logan paul demo.....the wannabe pretty boy demo....but lets not pretend like he is some monster with a monster fanbase that he cant lose.....if that kid got starched in a couple of months hed be yesterdays news...hed be the new victor ortiz.....looking for 5 second roles in movies.......i have nothing against ryan honestly.....but he was out here telling everyone about fighting pac...he was on a podcast talking trash to tank
didnt land the pac fight....told tanks team no thanks......it wasnt too long ago arum was telling us how he had something big with bud .....and we still aint heard nothin.....theres always alotta chatter but they aint delivered anything decent yet
Disagree, they were willing to put Garcia in with Pacquiao and he could have gotten hurt in that fight as well.
GBP aren't ever scared in putting their young fighters in hard fights. They also know that Garcia's fanbase is not built on his undefeated record. He will still have his supporters even if he gets stretched in a round. And as already mentioned, he may be a guy that catches an upset loss to an inferior name and then what? What if he just walks away from the sport in a few years? Ryan is a guy you have to strike while the iron is hot.
ryan could get beat in an upset and walk away....but when the competition is inferior and weaker the odds of that are less...which is why things are calculated........you put ryan in with comp less than tank and the odds of that happening are less....its risk analysis........oscar just botched the most prized asset in boxing...he isnt about to let one go to waste this early unless the opponent is someone with a very high reward like a pac(even then...did he get the pac fight made? nope...they just talked about it....same way they talked trash to tank on a podcast but then said no thanks)....

They were not willing to put Garcia in with Pacquiao which is why the fight never happened.
