Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia vs. Carlos Morales on September 1 on Facebook

[Jab jab boom]

I like watching Garcia. He gets hated on just like Chavez jr did when he was coming up.

I just wanna see Garcia beat Davis down.

Chavez jr was hated on for good reason. Just look how pathetic his career turned out. Garcia is another hype job and if you get your wish of him facing Davis, garcia will be exposed as a fraud alot sooner than Chavez jr was because Davis sparks this kid within 3.

Smart letting Ryan Headline, his generation is on social media all day damn so the hope is that some of those Instagram Followers he have will turn into Facebook View for his Event.

This "Facebook WATCH" is about to blow up.
Anyone know if Golden Boy still doing shows with ESPN now that Top Rank re-signed??

This Facebook deal has serious potential.. Smart move to put Ryan Garcia as a headliner, his fan base is conditioned to watching content online

[indelible]

He is 19! He won EVERY round of the fight and won easily against a guy who been in with top guys, durable and never been stopped. You bringing up judges in a fight where Velez was either whitewashed or at most won 1-2 sympathy rounds. SMH don't pretend like the Velez decision was in doubt or controversial. But please tell me who looked better against Velez? You say he had no gameplan when he dominated and busted up Velez like NOBODY he has ever faced. And can Gesta even make 130? He's fought at 135 and 140 for the last 11 years. If he fights Gesta you clowns claim he drained him and hasn't fought at 130 since 2007. Gesta is on the same level as Velez. If he was in the running and the fight wasn't made my guess it was because of weight. Ryan is trying to win a title at 130 and Carlos Morales is ranked #4 with WBA at 130. A win puts him in line for a mandatory for one of their belts next year.

He didn't have a game plan though. He thought he would get an early knockout and be the first guy to stop Velez. Neither happened. Instead, he spent the ladder half of the fight running around and clinching which is why the crowd was booing. Velez fought awkwardly not like his previous fights it's as if he came to lose but didn't care cause he got paid a good amount. As for Gesta, he beat Manzanarez in his last fight who is a way better fighter than Garcia. GB is treading softly with this kid. Regardless, Morales easily exposes him.

Guess it's way too logical to put him on the Canelo-GGG undercard for exposure, you know, makes too much sense for boxing.

How the hell are they gonna make any money off it being on FB?

Facebook signed a multi fight deal with Golden Boy for the content. They are paying for the fight.

Golden Boy Promotions strikes Facebook streaming deal

Social media giant pays US$1m to show fights and original boxing programming.

Posted: July 4 2018

Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions has agreed a deal with Facebook which will see the social media platform stream a series of fights and other original boxing programming.

The boxing promotion firm will air five fight nights for free in the US on Facebook Watch, the social media giant’s video-on-demand service, as well as globally on the Golden Boy Promotions’ Facebook Watch page.

Golden Boy will also team up with promoter Main Events, to market events on the series.

The fights and shoulder programming will be produced in-house by Golden Boy’s production unit. The additional content will include rebroadcasts of past fights featuring commentary from the boxers themselves, as well as celebrities, prominent influencers and boxing authorities.

The broadcasts will also incorporate real-time fan interaction and engagement through Facebook's social video platform.

“This game-changing deal for the sport of boxing places Golden Boy Promotions and its stable of fighters at the intersection of live sports mega-casting and ultimate fan engagement,” said Oscar de la Hoya, chairman and chief executive of Golden Boy Promotions. “Our team is now positioned to present world-class boxing from Silicon Valley, to Madison Avenue, to Hollywood and to the rest of the world. The reach of Facebook is just incredible, and our sponsorship conversations will truly resonate with brands across all categories.”

“Through this unique partnership, a global community of sports fans will have free access to some of boxing’s most exciting live bouts and be able to interact with the action like never before,” added Devi Mahadevia, North America live sports programming lead at Facebook.

The first of five live fight nights on Facebook will debut on 11th August and feature Jesus Rojas defending his WBA World featherweight title against Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr at the Avalon Theatre in Hollywood.

Forbes report that Facebook is paying a rights fee estimated to be US$250,000 to US$1 million per event, which is comparable to the sum HBO or Showtime would pay to secure a night of fights on their premium channels.

Facebook has been making a big play in sports through its Watch service. Live streaming events include college basketball and football, soccer, surfing and 20 MLB games

Boxing has been the source of much interest from streaming platforms recently. ESPN’s over-the-top (OTT) ESPN+ service and Perform’s DAZN streaming service have both made forays in boxing rights in the last few months.

Last Friday on Facebook Watch Oscar, Mario Lopez & Ryan Garcia watched highlights of De La Hoya's fights Vs. Chavez LIVE & added their commentary while re-watching.

Hopefully they do more of that type of show.

Ryan Garcia is kinda for ****** and girls though

Not that I like Garcia as a fighter as I'd said here before Gervonta KOs him within 4-5 rounds, but this comment made here, is strictly from a Fat ass couch potato, macho type a guy that probably is Ugly as F**k, conditioning any other point of view that may not agree with him, ignorant MOFO

[whoseyourdaddy]

Gay-Chicanos beat-off to his fights too! Talk bad about Ryana and they call you racist! his fanbase are full of hoes like kidbazooka.
