Ryan also talked to Haymon before the fight.
Ryan Garcia has revealed he spoke to Al Haymon on the phone before his fight with Luke Campbell last weekend: "I talked to Al Haymon, but not, 'I'mma fight Gervonta.' It was just a simple, 'Good luck, champ.' He called my advisor Lupe Valencia." [@SiriusXMBoxing]

This fight is going to happen. Definitely will be great build up. -
hahaha that was fun.....i bet tank was real shook of them air punches ry was throwing -rolls eyes- lol
so looking forward to it...but i still question whether or not it actually happens next...seems to soon and seems too soon for oscar to risk one of this two prized guys
oscar is down to two guys who are still basically prospects...one of them takes an L soon and hes really hurt...i dunno...well seeComment

Garcia taking an L here isn't going to really hurt him. As long as Garcia continues to do his thing and maintain his name value, he will be fine. He can bounce back from a loss or two. Garcia doesn't need to win all his big fights, just some of them like Oscar did.hahaha that was fun.....i bet tank was real shook of them air punches ry was throwing -rolls eyes- lol

eh...maybe.....
i hate comparing boxing to mma especially when its comes to business because its apples to ****ing kumquats.....but remember that kid sage northcutt? dude was on the cover of espn mag and all types of stuff...being hailed as the next big thing...dude got knocked real quick and i aint really heard about him since even though i barely follow mma
ry losing to tank this year is a setback no matter what...because oscar will then be hesitant to put him in the mix with teo and haney....yeah garcia still has appeal because of his age, his ethnicity and overall appeal to the youtube/teenboppers....but i dont see a loss here as a good thing....especially for oscarComment

Garcia doesn't have the ****** boxing hardcore fanbase most do. If he loses a bunch of hot women will only want to nurse him back to health and they'll still tune in to any other fight he will ever have. He's lucky in a way.Comment

Correct, his fan base isn't made up of people who think he is a top P4P fighter. He has some hardcore fans but that's not what makes up majority of his fan base. GBP is correctly taking the proper risk here. They know a win over Tank, who is the biggest name of the fighters he can face will make him even a bigger star. A loss? Well, they wouldn't want to see him badly hurt or dominated but if he loses a competitive fight? No problem at all. Can easily rebound from that type of loss. But GBP is pretty confident their guy wins this fight. They are banking on Ryan's size and having this fight at 135, where Tank is untested and unproven at.eh...maybe.....

well yeah its obvious they are banking on rys size as is he...he kept referencing how tank needs a step ladder to get him lol...but i think tank was right...even though i dont think ry was badly hurt when campbell dropped him at all..if tank drops him he will be all over his arse and it will be tough to surviveCorrect, his fan base isn't made up of people who think he is a top P4P fighter.

its a great matchup on paper...and i hope it happens ASAP...hopefully teo put the pressue on all these guys....i still have doubts it happens right away but ive been wrong before lolComment

It's hard to gauge Tank. He struggled with Gamboa but obliterated Pedraza.Correct, his fan base isn't made up of people who think he is a top P4P fighter. He has some hardcore fans but that's not what makes up majority of his fan base. GBP is correctly taking the proper risk here.

Maybe not knowing exactly just how good these guys are makes it more exciting.Comment

Its definately not next. Garcia is either gonna get Haney next because the sanctioning body will push for it or Golden Boy will run back the fight with Jorge Linares that they had originally wanted to make.hahaha that was fun.....i bet tank was real shook of them air punches ry was throwing -rolls eyes- lol
