Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Backs Tank-Garcia To Generate Close To 2.5 Million Buys

[chavmex]

This what happens when you want to hype a fight between 2 fighters, that haven't been proven. On one side you have Ryan Garcia, other than Luke Campbell who has he beaten.? How many PPV has he headlined? Tank has fought nobodies, except Cruz who gave him his biggest test of his career. Tank's last PPv was only a bit more than 200K. What makes this dragqueen say this about the fight? The fact of the matter is, that none of these guys have much to offer, we saw it with Teo Lopez, Kambosos too. They are a flash on the pan. Who is interested in a fight between Haney and Loma? No one on a PPv level. Duran would of ko all of them in a month.

reaching... 500-800k the most!!

Not a chance of 2.5m. They'll have hit it out of the park if they do 1m.

I don't agree that this is the biggest fight at 135 however, if it actually is, then that's a sad reflection on the state of boxing; a "fight between two fighters reluctant to fight the best at their weight".

——-
Teo vs Loma was huge.
Kamboso vs Loma turned out to be huge for the division.
Haney traveling to Australia to beat Kamboso was the right move too.
Loma vs Haney is signed.
Shakur just moved up to 135 so the division just got even more stacked.
The winner of Loma-Haney will most likely face Shakur by end of year.

So, which Guys aren’t fighting each other?

147 is where guys aren’t fighting each other.

147 isn't where the action isn't taking place. Only 2 names at that level aren't facing each other when it's obviously is about time (Spence, Crawford). The weight class where everyone is ducking the other is at middleweight. We've been hearing the following names for a minute without any real matchups: Charlo, Charlo, Andrade, Munguia, GGG, Canelo, Benavidez. It's killing the sport.

Yes, fully agree with you on all those fights you mentioned.

The two fighters I'm referring (requoted an earlier poster) to are Davis and Garcia.

Apologies if my post wasn't clear.

I agree with you about the nonsense at Middleweight, however, both Crawford and Spence aren’t interested in fighting Boots or Ortiz either.

No worries.
The winner of Tank vs Garcia Will have zero choice on his next fight. I think this year the big names at 135 cannot not fight each other.

Well I get that. Boots and Ortiz are too dangerous for Crawford or Spence to want to face without getting any real money in return. Only the die hard boxing public know who Boots and Ortiz are. They aren't box office draws yet...which basically means Crawford and/or Spence can't generate much noise or make real money against either. They are perfectly fine with being in wait and see mode. Only when they feel it's worth it, will they step in the ring with either. While I don't think they're scared of either, beating them isn't a given .... therefore they need more incentive.....like big bucks.

Crawford made the biggest payday of his career by fighting Avanesyan. I don’t think that pay was due to Avanesyan’s name so he can make the same amount fighting Boots or Ortiz if not more.
So I don’t think it’s a money issue. I believe Crawford is afraid of losing to Boots.

Spence and Boots share the same promoter so maybe that’s what’s getting in the way of the fight but I still think Spence is also avoiding Boots.
