    The Garcia-linares GBP potential card

    I've been looking for boxing related ways to occupy my time and I thought about the fact oscar de la hoya wanted to stage garcia-linares July 11th. Thinking about the fact oscar himself promised PPV boxing to fans on DAZN, the long potential 4 month delay in boxing, and the roster of fighters that need work, I thought of DAZNs first PPV worthy card. In the days of HBO PPV, I believe this card would certainly edge out cards like Ruiz-golota or barerra-fana. This is the four fight main card that I think is realistic and suitable for a terrific event.

    Ryan Garcia-Jorge linares

    Say what you want about garcia, he is, if not already, a bonafide superstar. Two devastating left hooks have catapulted him into must see TV, and always makes for action packed fights. Linares is a former top 10 pound for pound great, who proved hes still got enough offense and experience with his win against morales(a fighter who gave garcia hell) to pull the upset. I could see garcia destroying linares, or I could see linares outboxing him.

    Sergey kovalev-Sullivan Barrera

    Kovalev, regardless of his effort against canelo, is one of my favorite fighters. Both kovalev and barerra are past their prime, but both can punch and I believe can give top light heavyweights issues even at their advanced ages. This one could be a barnburner.

    Patrick Teixeira-Brian caetano

    Teixeira won what I believe WAS one of the THREE best fights of 2019, decisioning carlos adames to win a title. Castano holds a draw with who is possibly the best jr. Middleweight in the world, erislandy Lara. I would expect a decision that could swing either way.

    Rene Alvarado-roger guiterrez

    Two terrific and explosive little fighters. Alvarado looked sharp and brutalized Andrew cancio in their rematch, while guiterrez viciously knocked out undefeated Eduardo Hernandez in one of 2019s biggest upsets. This is a rematch, with the first alvarado winning decisively.

    All I did was take what GBP had planned for april 25th and add the three most intriguing fights from that card to the undercard of arguably this summers biggest fight. This lineup of fights could set the bar and raise the stakes in the rivalry between matchroom, GBP, toprank, and PBC. This is a card I would gladly pay 49.99 for in the days of HBO PPV.

    My predictions:

    Linares boxes safely to a victory, surviving a late rally from garcia. 9 rounds to 3. I feel he will frustrate garcia.

    Kovalev uses that beautiful jab to set up a right hand knockout mid round.

    Castano escapes with a decision that could swing either way in the fight of the night.

    Alvarado continues to improve, beating guiterrez to a bloody pulp, getting a late round stoppage in an exciting, yet one sided fight.

    Do you have a realistic potential card that GBP could put forth to hold DAZN to their word of showing PPV worthy cards? What are your thoughts on this?

    If we pray, jesus will bring boxing back better and more competitive than ever!

      It’s nowhere near PPV standard. You have a guy who’s never fought for a world title and a guy who’s recently lost to Pablo Cesar Cano.

      It’s a fun card but it’s not going to attract that much interest outside the hardcore fan base.

      The only PPV standard fight DAZN could put on within their own stable is Canelo vs “x” tbh.

        Well putting this card against a canelo fight is unfair, regardless of who's fighting in the main event.



        Given garcias growing fanbase and momentum, I could see this particular card doing around 200-250k buys on HBO PPV.

        I do agree, however, that linares performance against cano certainly doesnt do the fight any favors. His performance against lomachenko, does on the other hand.

        Put it this way:

        Garcia-linares with the recent canelo undercards is not PPV worthy. Garcia-linares with this potential undercard i feel would be on PPV, regardless of how fans feel about it.

          Not PPV worthy whatsoever. It’s not a top quality matchup. Neither are proven draws. Nobody is gonna buy a PPV for the undercard anyway tbh.

            That would be a high quality card

              Right. I'm just saying, in the days of HBO this would be PPV, whether fans like it or not.

              I think it would be a more quality card if they put that 54-0 thai champ moonsri in the opener, against a established contender.

              Thank you two for responding it seems like most of this site only cares for the mainstream fighters, rather than some of the underground aspects to boxing.

                No, it wouldn't have been. However what DAZN can do without PPV quality headliners is put together strong cards like this. Like they did with the Garcia-Vargas and Rungvisai-Estrada II cards.

                  Yet ruiz-golota, barerra-fana, and PONCE DE LEON headlined PPV lol.

                  I guess it depends on the individual. Me, I'd pay for this "PPV" not just for the main event. If your gonna have garcia-linares with the canelo-Jacobs undercard than definitely not.

                  I think I AM intrigued by this fight for two reasons.
                  1. I cant stand ryan garcia and think hes the most overrated "top prospect" in years.
                  2. Linares is a bonafide fighter. Suspect chin, but I cant help but think how easily he could outbox garcia if he doesnt get tagged.

                  Remember, garcia went life and death with carlos morales, even got stunned twice by him. Morales improved, and linares destroyed him.

                    About 50-80 PPV buys.

                    They would actually lose money trying to put that in ppv.
