Ryan is a way bigger Star than Tank Davis.

    Not sure this is true, I doubt any regular person in the UK has ever got anything from Fite TV.

      If he actually was they'd put him on PPV.

          No idea, but I'm gonna bet that a 4am fight with no marketing on Channel 5 had even less viewers than a fight on Fite TV...

            Lol.

            I think he might have had some fights on one of the ITV channels in the past as well but I cant remember for sure.

            Anecdotal I know but ive had two friends who are total casuals bring up Tank to me before whereas ive never heard anyone in the UK mention Ryan outside of the hardcore boxing fan bubble. I totally understand that in America with the large hispanic fanbase it could be a very different situation though.

              Not a Garcia fan by any means but was damn impressed with the amount of people who flocked to the ******.com Arena last night especially with the chitty undercard it had
              And it will only increase if he keeps winning

                I can't say I know any non-fight fan that knows either tbh. But guessing some kids probably know Ryan from insta, who knows. Either way, I would say neither has any fans outside boxing fans in the UK.

                      How are they equal if Tank is already fighting on PPV? There's a reason everyone is calling out Tank instead of Ryan Garcia.
