    I hope people realize that tank has to adhere to the same rehydration clause as garcia.

      Yes haney and loma is the more decorated and accomplished of the 4 but let’s not act like tank vs garcia isn’t going to blow that fight out the water financially and impact wise.

        The smaller man has an advantage both in making the weight and in how much they need to rehydrate in order to get back to full strength.

          this must be a really pampered generation to have this type of view surely

          not even close to a generational fight

            And it's dangerous to the fighter too! See Vergil Ortiz Jr., and Michel "Ali" Rivera!

              I read the headline and thought, well, Tank at least has the awareness to recognise the size of the fight is down to the combined appeal of them both facing each other, but then when you read his comments, you see his ego couldn't quite live with that and he had to try and belittle Ryan with the "on paper thing", which then undermines the original notion.

                It was Tank who demanded the rehydration clause so he clearly thinks he has an advantage not allowing Ryan to rehydrate properly after the weigh in to his natural weight. Ryan had to say yes to all of Tank's terms in order to make the fight.

                  Davis is right here.Unbeaten fighters like these two , huge names in the sport normally avoid each other and talk silly money. Crawford and Spence to name but just two ! this fight has got everyone talking and nobody really that sure of the outcome . This is a throw back fight and the fighters and their promoters should be proud . Instead of sitting back and protecting their cash cows with easy fights and avoiding any danger at all costs ....Eddie!

                    It will be interesting to see whether it even approaches Mayweather or Pac numbers. I think the pool of people who actually buy PPVs has shrunk. Do kids buy them?

                      id like same day weigh ins as well
                      but why its the day before i think that as long as they make weight they can re hydrate as much as they want
