I think there should be a rematch clause for both fighters should they lose. However, a comment like, "no rematch clause, winner takes all' is a very strong comment. It either shows that Garcia is confident in how he'll do in the fight.....or it's a really good marketing ploy.Comment

You have been on this board for a long time and are usually pretty fair in your comments, but you can’t really think Garcia is holding this fight up? I kinda like the idea of winder take all , however if they do the rematch clause and tank loses then Oscar is correct, the winner is the A side and tank and his team know this. By not agreeing to that they are blatantly looking for a way out.

What GBP is asking for is fair! If Ryan loses, no rematch! If Ryan wins, Tank has a rematch, but the fight goes on DAZN, and GBP is lead promoter! I don't see a problem with that at all! Make It Happen!Comment

Regis Prograis Vs. Ryan Garcia Could Happen If Gervonta Davis Negotiations Fail
02/08/2023 - By Jeepers Isaac
Golden Boy Promotions have contacted the promoter for Regis Prograis to setup a potential fight between the WBC light welterweight champion and Ryan Garcia as the fallback fight for the popular Ryan if their negotiations with PBC/Showtime fighter Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis fall apart.
As things are right now, Golden Boy and PBC/Showtime have reached a stalemate over the rematch clause. PBC/Showtime wants to be in charge of the rematch if Gervonta (28-0, 26 KOs) loses to Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) on April 15th, whereas Golden Boy/DAZN feel like they should be in charge of the rematch out of fairness.
According to Mike Coppinger, both sides are entrenched and unwilling to give ground on this one issue. Hence, Golden Boy Promotions are now looking to set up a title shot for Ryan Garcia against WBC light welterweight champion Regis Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs), who is seen by many as the #1 fighter in the 140-lb division.
Ryan hasn’t fought since his victory over Javier Fortuna last July, so he cannot afford to have his fight with Tank Davis delayed to May or June due to the stubbornness of his management at PBC insisting that they get their way on what would seem like a trivial matter.
Tank Davis Could Be Out Of Luck
“I do know that Golden Boy has already reached out to Regis Prograis’ team for a fight at 140 pounds for Prograis’ [WBC light welterweight] title,” said Mike Coppinger to The Volume Sports about Ryan Garcia potentially facing Regis Prograis if the negotiations with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis fall apart.
“That’s a fascinating fight; I love that fight, but would I want to see that fight over Gervonta vs. Ryan Garcia? Of course not, but I’m not going to cry if that’s the fallback option. You can argue that’s a much tougher fight for Ryan Garcia, obviously. A bigger guy, and a more established guy and champion and first world title fight.
“They’ve already reached out to Regis Prograis’ team. Prograis’ team is all aboard. As you know, he can’t get a fight because of his promotional issues. That would be the perfect marriage if this all falls apart.
“It seems like all sides still wants to make this fight [Tank vs. Ryan] happen, but at some point, Golden Boy has to plan something for Ryan Garcia. He was supposed to fight in January against Mercito Gesta, but he’s not. I’m told they want to have everything wrapped up by Friday,” said Coppinger.
I'M GOOD WITH EITHER FIGHT!!! MAN UP!!!
