Comments Thread For: Isaac Cruz Gives it a "50-50" Shot That Ryan Garcia Fight Will Happen

[CultureVulture]

Oscar wanted it to be shown on both platforms. PBC wouldn't agree to that. Their platform on its own or not at all. If you believe otherwise that's up to you. I'm no fan of Oscar or Garcia, but it's all right out of the PBC playbook.

The circumstances may be different this time because neither is the Champion so neither really has leverage. It really doesn't make sense in the Charlo vs Munguia situation. PBC was paying both fighters and agreed to terms with both fighters yet Oscar comes and and wants to force them to show the fight on DAZN. I can think of very few instances where a fight was with multiple broadcast partners. Those fights were bother very large events.This is the same move Oscar seems to make every time Munguia is a mandatory for a fighter he blocks the fight.

You say straight out of the PBC playbook but didn't they just allow Porter to fight on Top Rank against Crawford ? Also didn't Oscar just say he would never have let Canelo fight Bivol.

Nobody including DAZN wanted that fight to be a PPV. Oscar came in to block the fight period point blank. He’s always done that with PBC. That’s why a judge ruled against him in his 300 million dollar lawsuit filed against PBC.

I don't know what Oscar said about Canelo, I didn't read any of that. Yes, they let Porter fight on a Top Rank card. But Porter wasn't a champion. He had no title to lose. Only one to gain. When the PBC fighter is a champion with a title to lose, those fights tend not to get made. And that was on ESPN. PBC are dead set against Dazn. And Cruz manager, Sean Gibbons, has already ridiculed Dazn saying to Garcia, tell me where to send you a real offer on a real platform. Interestingly there was no offer made. They just blew it off. That's why I can't see that there will be a sudden change of heart. Which is a shame. It's a good fight. And I'd like to see Cruz knock Garcia out lol.
