The buy rate for Gervonta Davis’ most recent win was the second highest of his five pay-per-view fights. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that the four-fight pay-per-view show that featured Davis’ ninth-round technical knockout of Hector Luis Garcia on January 7 ultimately will produce somewhere between 200,000 and 225,000 buys.
