We knew this was always going to be "the Sticking Point!" That's why we didn't get Charlo vs. Munguia! Oscar should let PBC keep the U.S., and DAZN takes the Overseas PPVs. He's not gonna be able to get fights for Ryan with Arum/ESPN, and MatchRoom doesn't have much to offer at 135-140, so where do his fighters go? He already lost Canelo, and Ryan is very close to leaving him too!

I’m at the point now I’d pay more for these two to disappear than watch them fight. Make it happen or bugger off.Comment

Oscar De La Hoya Says Ryan Garcia Vs. Gervonta Davis Is “Getting Close”
Oscar De La Hoya has confirmed that the Ryan Garcia vs. Gervonta ‘Tank” Davis fight is close. The smiling Golden Boy CEO De La Hoya says the fight will take place in Las Vegas. Earlier today, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reported that Tank and Ryan have “agreed to the framework of a deal” for a catchweight at 136 pounds for January in Las Vegas.
The major obstacle standing in the way of the Davis-Ryan fight getting made is the networks. Mayweather Promotions, Tank is signed with, wants Showtime to be the sole distributor of the fight in the U.S. Ryan is with DAZN, and they, not surprisingly, want to show the fight as well.
Unless Mayweather Promotions changes its mind about Showtime being the lone distributor in the United States, we won’t have a Davis vs. Garcia fight.
“Mayweather Promotions, which represents Davis along with Al Haymon, has insisted that Showtime be the exclusive pay-per-view distributor in the U.S, sources told SI,” said Chris Mannix to Sports Illustrated.
“Both sides continue to talk. It’s getting close,” said Oscar De La Hoya to Fight Hub TV about the negotiations between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. “It’s a Las Vegas fight.”
Ryan has been talking about the Tank Davis fight on a near daily basis on social media. He’ll be happy once this fight is made, and he can show the boxing world whether he’s on the same level as Tank or not.
With the way De La Hoya was smiling, he seemed to think the fight would take place. We’ll soon see. If it doesn’t, it’s important that Ryan and Tank start fighting better opposition because both of them have arguably been swerving elite-level fighters their entire careers.
Ryan’s opposition is a little worse than Tank’s, but not by much. Since Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) is now campaigning at 140, he needs to take on the likes of Regis Prograis, Teofimo Lopez, Jose Zepeda, Jose Ramirez, and Subriel Matias in that weight class.
Fighting Javier Fortuna isn’t going to cut it if Ryan wants to be taken seriously at light welterweight.
Tank Davis should enter the mix to battle for the undisputed lightweight championship against the winner of the Devin Haney vs. Vasyl Lomachenko fight. It would be nice if Tank (27-0, 25 KOs) were to fight Shakur Stevenson while Haney & Lomachenko fight it out.

What is Oscar going to do for his stable? They don't work with MatchRoom, because he's still salty that Hearn scooped up Canelo! Arum/ESPN is not doing a co-promotion with DAZN, nor do they need to with Haney, Loma, and Shakur fully onboard, plus TR has plenty of fighters at 140! So who could Ryan fight? If not Ryan Garcia, I would LOVE to see Tank vs. Gary Antuanne Russell! Or Floyd could flex his muscle with the WBA, and get them to order Tank vs. Haney! Hey, they did Wilder vs. Fury, so I could see it happen, and I'd pay for it too!Originally posted by The Big Dunn View Post

He stays at Dazn because they will overpay his stable for garbage fights- which is what he wants imo.Originally posted by Bronx2245 View Post
GBP is irrelevant for the most part- other than the local SoCal cards. Those cards are always action packed and good. Should be on espn.

Eddie Hearn says Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia clearly the biggest fight in lightweight division
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn talks to Fight Hub on his thoughts on the lightweight division and its current landscape. Hearn, who no longer promotes undisputed champion Devin Haney, says a fight against Vasiliy Lomachenko might do it for the die-hard boxing fans, but he has no doubt there’s one fight that’s head and shoulders over the rest.
“Devin Haney gets criticism for being boring but he is a brilliant fighter,” Hearn said. “Like, we’ve worked with him for a long time, he’s so smart, he’s very difficult to beat. And it’s going to take someone special to beat him – Shakur Stevenson, Tank maybe, but I don’t think so. Ryan Garcia, I don’t think so. But the biggest fight in the division by a mile is Tank against Ryan Garcia now.
“Lomachenko is a tremendous fighter. To us in boxing, Lomachenko against Haney is a great fight. It is a quarter of the fight of Tank against Ryan Garcia because you have to understand the fan bases, the mixes of personality, and Ryan Garcia brings a huge following into that fight away from boxing. And Gervonta Davis brings all of boxing and brings crowds, brings energy. It’s a brilliant fight and I don’t know how close it is.
“I hear, just like you hear, that it’s close. But that is the fight for the division. Lomachenko-Haney, great fight, not anywhere near as big as Tank against Ryan Garcia. For me that’s one of the biggest fights in the sport.
“It’s only a matter of time before Devin moves to 140 because when we were working with him I knew how tough it was, but he’s an extreme professional…but it’s going to be very interesting now because do you vacate and move to 140 and everyone will say you’ve run from Lomachenko, or do stay and fight him at 135 and it’s a 50/50 fight, right?”

Does coka dela fishnets actually want big fights for his guys?Originally posted by Bronx2245 View Post
I don’t think so. He couldn’t handle Canelo when he got big. Remember he relapsed the week of one of his PPVs.
He seems content to work the media while his guys fight lesser comp.Comment
