Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Ryan Garcia: We Have a Date For Him In November; [A 140-Pound Belt] Can Possibly Be at Stake

[Eff Pandas]

Anyways Panda, how you been man? I seen you post the other day and realized its been a minute...

Ryan is definitely a draw. Tank does $20M or less in all his PPV's & does 5x that when he fights Ryan. That boost isn't all off of Tank's back. Some of that is Ryan's ticket/PPV selling ability.

The conversation goes like this:

Broke starry eyed teenager: dad, we gotta get the Ryan Garcia fight. It’s only $80.

Dad, who pays the bills: phuck that. I ain’t payin $80 to watch that quitter.

Hmmm, this thread isn’t about Davis but I think we all know why you went there.

When have boxing rankings ever made sense? One sanctioning body will have a fighter ranked #2 while another doesn’t even have him ranked at all. Ryan’s social media following will get him fights so long as his fanbase continues to buy them. I can’t see him beating any of the top five guys at 140. He would be better off trying to get a popular Youtuber or MMA guy in the ring. Or challenge Oscar out of retirement at a catchweight. Laugh if you want but that would be a huge PPV.

Well in fairness he only needs a 2.5% conversion rate on his IG followers who's dad's pay the bills to get to $20M revenue as the A side in his next PPV to be doing Tank numbers. And thats not even counting the 50k-200k hardcore boxing fans who might buy it depending on who he fights to add another $4M-$16M in revenue.

This might shock you, but its true I promise you. These ABC Groups that run the belts & rankings are....wait for it......corrupt.

Cmon bruh you know this. Why do ppl KEEP acting surprised when these corrupt groups do some corrupt group sheeeeeeeet.

The WBA is so damn blatant, it's crazy! Rolly should've never been in a title fight, coming off a KO loss, now here comes Ryan, coming off a KO loss! They're doing too much!

[The Big Dunn]

I'd bet its Ohara for a newly vacant or interim belt. I think thats why they keep pushing back this Rolly **** & have even gone past their own deadline now.

I doubt GBP would make another Ryan vs PBC guy fight & I doubt you can trust Teo for more than 15mins to agree to a fight not to mention thats a cross promotion fight too. Ohara just signed with GBP. There's a reason for that & its probably cuz he's Ryan's next opp.

Yooooo. Long time bro.

Hope you and your family are doing well.

Thats a good point. I forgot they just signed Davies.

Ryan made a killing. He also will not be the b side to any other PBC opponent. I think he does if he makes bank.
