Comments Thread For: Tank Davis vs. Garcia Fight Has To Happen With DAZN's Involvement, Golden Boy COO Says

[Greenfield02]

SCHOOLTHESECATS, you keep bringing up this app, this app, last I checked, it's 2022 not 1992, I don't know if you know but everything is an app. That app you speak off respectfully did 902k ppvs buy's for Canelo in his last fight. If you're old and have a hard time dealing with apps, I suggest getting one of your younger family members to help you figure the app out, don't worry if you have to buy the fight on an "App" you will watch it, it's going to be cool old timer. And by no means I'm I saying this fight will break records, but it should do a solid 500 to 700k, which is still good business, it will make more business than Spence vs Crawford, Crawford can't sell umbrellas on a rainy day, Spence will carry that fight, just how I believe Tank should get more for the simple fact that he's sold ppvs in the past but Ryan does bring fans to the table, so 55-45 split sounds about right, but don't worry you will figure out the app, if my Grandparents can do it, so can you, keep your head up....

Besides the politics involved in making this fight, another issue stands out. Garcia is 5'10", fought Fortuna @140lbs, re-hydrated to 148 and said he's never dropping down again. Davis is 5' 5 1/2", and fights @135. Although Tank is highly skilled, that is a serious physical mismatch.

11k and 15k? Couldn't draw flies to ****. I'm sure Kambosos done 40k+

They said 11k, but it really didn't look more than 2k. Tickets $26. At least cheap tickets is good for the fans.

Recently? Guy been selling out his fights last 3-4 years… just say you hate haymon and move along

No he hasn't.

Showtime said he sold out yet I attended the Rolly fight since It was only 20mins from my home and a lot of seats were empty I man a lot. No reason to lie showtime dims the lights on TV so you don't see it but a lot of seats were empty in that fight that's a fact.

That's what some people don't understand Ryan isn't a pillow fisted scrawny Barrios who has pencils for legs and arms Ryan is big very big for even 140. He would hurt Tank and even though I don't agree with Tank handlers I like Tank himself he seems like decent guy but he would lose badly to Ryan.

Interestingly enough, I can see that fight on the horizon since BooBoo and matchroom parted ways. Haymon is definitely playing chess not checkers

I'm not sure I agree with the strategy of denying Charlo that payday, since I suspect he would put Andrade on the floor and it would have been a great win for Jermall......

There has only been around 5 fights that have had co promotion in history. There's fights aren't big enough to have co promotion, nobody but GB is insisting on that. Showtime is big enough and will pay for big fights

Wilder fury 2 wasn't really bigger than this, in terms of popularity and selling power. But PBC and Showtime still done it.

This is not a mega fight that’s going break any records to be sharing the pot especially with a app only co-promotion outfit… all of content that will be seen by general public will be done by showtime/cbs while dazn sits back and does nothing… Garcia can’t even outsell Davis in his own city…

I get what your saying. But it's the fairest way regardless. They'll both still make a hell of a lot of money, and it's a fight that will progress their careers from the meaningless protected ruts their stuck in at the moment. They may as well. I'm no Garcia fan, but at least their making the right noises about making the fight.

What a deal breaker? To Hell with DAZN! KingRy doesn’t owe them jack shlt!

You comparing fighting in football stadiums that’s outside which george last fight was in to arenas that don’t hold more than 20k max fans for basketball and other live events

Ok true. To be honest, with that comment I was really having a bit of a light hearted dig where Kambosos is concerned. Because he's not doing those numbers regularly. But at the same time I'd say, if these two are as popular as they are claimed to be, would it not be worth looking towards doing a stadium show maybe next year if it's worth it in the long run? And surely in America there's a facility to accommodate higher numbers and had a retractable roof for all weathers. Then they can drum up better business. Because their people claim they're mega stars. Two good fanbases and two networks pushing the promotion should be able to drive the gate up if they're truly popular. Also my bit about Taylor says a lot, as he is fighting in an arenas and he can do those numbers regularly. And from such a small country. Their still popular fighters, but their not stars yet it seems.
