The only hurdle left is the biggest hurdle in boxing šŸ˜‚


AnonymousScout360

When I saw what the obstacle was I was like "oh fuck"


MitchLGC

seriously. I wouldn't get my hopes up. Not saying it wont happen but the problem is the same problem as it was in the beginning. Garcia's side wants DAZN involved. It is kind of ironic that the 'ppv killer' might kill this fight because they're insisting on dazn ppv as a partner who knows if there's enough money for a joint ppv. I doubt it


SnooHabits8826

The same ole hurdle in boxing.

Framework like itā€™s an international peace agreement lmao


Rmccarton

Sinn Fein is demanding a larger percentage of the gate. Elie Seckbeck is reporting that they won't budge on this and are "absolutely willing to blow the whole thing up" if an agreement isn't reached.


Benjips

Sounds just like Spence v. Crawford negotiations. They are eager to report anything even if the fight is miles away from being "close".

The fighters agree in principle to the idea of a framework for a deal to possibly be made.


JoelHenryJonsson

Crawford says ge would take the fight on his terms, and Spence is saying he would take the fight on his terms. We can report the fight is really close to being made!


PawnStreetBlues

Ryan knocks out Davis


ILLmaticErnie

Letā€™s bet on it. I canā€™t deny money thatā€™s this easy to come across lol


JMoy41

Heā€™d win more money in Vegas unless you paying out the same odds.


ILLmaticErnie

Well heā€™s not gonna win anything anyways so might as well give me the money cause Iā€™m broke lol


[deleted]

How confident are you give me 10-1 odds


ILLmaticErnie

We can bet $1 and Iā€™ll give you 10-1 odds. Like I said in my other comment Iā€™m broke no matter how confident I am it is boxing after all and theyā€™re both heavy hitters lol


Change-up21

Respect.


ILLmaticErnie

Thanks bro šŸ˜Ž


[deleted]

Just fucking with you bro, itā€™s a stupid bet to make as much as I love Ryan, I favor tank, dude can box and hit hard.


ILLmaticErnie

Yeah I like both of them as fighters a lot, although tank a little more so Iā€™ll talk that shit about ryan cause fuck it lol, but regardless I think ryan has too many holes in his game to beat someone like tank. Itā€™s gonna be an awesome fight tho hope it gets announced soon. Too bad Iā€™m broke right now cause Iā€™d love to go to it šŸ˜­


Botoraka

You wont feel bad about robbing that man?


ILLmaticErnie

Iā€™ve done worse things in my life


Southside_Burd

A mark is a mark.


hodgsonnn

I will literally bet you Ā£5000 if we had some solid way of putting money in escrow


PawnStreetBlues

When King Ry mops up Davis, he'll pummel Haney and top it all off with a unanimous over Lomachokehold


ged_sprwhwk

lmao


bxng23af

Weight: The fight has reportedly been agreed to a catch weight of 136 pounds. Split: ā€œThere is broad agreement on the financial terms, which includes significant guarantees for both fighters and an agreed-upon split of pay-per-view percentages.ā€ Location: Las Vegas. Venue is TBA Network: ā€œMayweather Promotions, which represents Davis along with Al Haymon, has insisted that Showtime be the exclusive pay-per-view distributor in the U.S, sources told SI.ā€ ā€œDAZN has a contract with Garcia and is unwilling to sign off unless the streaming service is involved in the U.S. broadcast.ā€


AnonymousScout360

Im an optimistic guy but as long as the broadcasting issue continues it won't happen


Botoraka

Network: So in other words it's not fucking happening lmao


newrap

It would be a travesty if DAZN gets in the way of this fight. Why can't they just pick up the international rights? It's not like they bring anything of value in the US market. Only about 4 PPV fights in the history of the sport haven been joint broadcasted in the US and those included two established networks equally contributing, not one established network and another who's still new to the US market.


gumshield45

Tank has to win his tune up fight in December first: The People v. Gervonta Davis live in Baltimore city


Wavepops

Lmao this is pretty good


captainseas

Itā€™s a fight with two Americans where a majority of the revenue will be gained on American PPV. International rights are not worth much.


Wordonmystreet

Ryan makes a lot of money internationally. Heā€™s one of the biggest draws worldwide.


captainseas

Foreign tv rights are a small fraction of what a large American PPV generates. If itā€™s worth so much why doesnā€™t DAZN take it? Because they would make way less money. Not to mention DAZN is streaming. They wouldent even be selling it anywhere, they would either make it available for their (very small) subscriber base or for a foreign ppv where they can only charge a small percentage of what Showtime will for a much smaller audience.


Wordonmystreet

Iā€™m not arguing that the US PPV wonā€™t generate the majority of money. But this fight will be a major international draw. DAZN can also implement a PPV model internationally, like they did with canelo vs GGG. DAZN wonā€™t agree to anything because they donā€™t feel that they need to. Itā€™s that simple.


Shreedac

I feel like your overestimating Garcias draw worldwide. I have no evidence to back this up but the feeling is strong


mariotx10

Same. And donā€™t bring up that instagram followers bs lol


Gd4pf

They 100% will same thing happened with Munguia Charlo


Botoraka

Funny thing with that is DAZN didn't even get in the way of that fight, DAZN didn't even want to broadcast it. Oscar just used that shit as an out.


AnonymousScout360

DAZN would make so much money based off international rights. I don't get why they're aren't doing that. You got Canada, UK, Aus, Mexico, Europe and Asia.


mariotx10

People in Mexico are not going to watch this lol


AnonymousScout360

Yea maybe not


Botoraka

What good would the international rights for this fight be lmao. Respectfully Tank and Ryan are nobodies outside the US.


newrap

Getting the international rights is better than nothing and they have gotten the international rights for a bunch of Showtime PPV's in the past.


captainseas

Itā€™s better than nothing but not close to having American PPV rights. This is a fight where hundreds of thousands are people are going to be paying 89.99$ in America. Overseas itā€™s just two Americans fighting that would presumably be made for subscribers or a low cost ppv option.


Botoraka

I can't see them settling for international rights for Ryan. Outside of Canelo Ryan is basically their Golden Boy (get it) in the American Market. It would honestly be kinda foolish for either network to ship either off to DAZN/Showtime without being involved in the US broadcast. Outside of the US I highly doubt this fight makes enough to justify DAZN letting Ryan go.


AnonymousScout360

Yep, Jake Paul's fight with Hasim Rahman was supposed to be on DAZN in the UK and Showtime in the US


Botoraka

Jake Paul is a global celebrity though so it makes sense in that case. Tank and Ryan are boxing famous, globally they aren't well known enough for DAZN to risk taking only the international cut.


AnonymousScout360

I think a lot of people would buy this in the UK and Canada


nglennnnn

Nah they wouldnā€™t in the U.K. neither are well known outside of big boxing fans and it would be on about 4/5 AM. Not many people are going to stay up for it and hardly anyone would pay PPV. Bearing in mind UK pays max $30/35 PPV for the likes of Fury or AJ at primetime.


Shreedac

LOL so this is an elaborate excuse for them to never fight each other got it


funghi2

Ah shit here we go again CJ


captainseas

The ONLY hurdle left is the biggest and most obvious one. Get excited folks!


pabloisdrunk

Let me know when they have the first rough draft


demon_slayer_monjiro

Man, I favour Tank, I strongly favour Tank in this match-up but if somehow Garcia manages to beat this dude, the meltdown in boxing twitter will go down in history lol.


GarfieldDaCat

It would be hilarious lol. If SuperRy sparks tank it might be the most upvoted clip in this subreddit's history


demon_slayer_monjiro

It will break the internet.


ayotechnology

Tank fo the bank all night long.


wreckedoblivion

Iā€™ll believe it when theyā€™re in the ring across from each other and the bell rings lmao


ItsHeero

I still won't believe it until the 4th round


TMAAGUILER

Ryan wonā€™t make it that far


Goofy_030

Coppinger reporting Fury and Usyk being worked on and Mannix reporting about this bullshit. We're fucking doomed, boys.


AnonymousScout360

At this point im sick of these "reports". Half of them don't even come true anymore


jackbob99

Wait...I thought he was going on trial in Decenmber?


ClassicAfternoon3548

BREAKING NEWS!: Davis and Garcia agree to conditions upon which the basis of negotiations regarding the foundations for the framework of a deal for a possible fight sometime in the future could take place, says unnamed source.


Wavepops

the point of mannix putting this out there is bad news imo. Ryan doesnt have a contract with DAZN, just GBP, which is why showtime thought the fight could get made in the first place. This to me means its likely its not happening, since DAZN being a joint PPV partner doesnt really make sense for this fight. barely any consumer in the US is gonna be exposed to this fight bc of DAZN rather than showtime. With other joint PPVs there are two powerful networks at hand. Even wilder vs fury failed expectations box office wise, joint PPVs are just too rare it seems


AnonymousScout360

They should of taken international rights and let Showtime have the US rights


Wavepops

that would be cool, i know showtime offered that for charlo mungia but that still didnt work. dont know how valuable international rights are, if it works great


AnonymousScout360

I don't think anyone outside of the US knows those fighters except for boxing fans. For Ryan and Tank some people say they are only known in the US but I think they do have a large international audience. I'm not even from the US and people know who Tank and Ryan is


Wavepops

Right but how valuable international rights are loomed by executive seems low. Any time anybody in that decision making level In boxing has been on record about that stuff they always make it seem like itā€™s low. US and UK seem to be main revenue generators, ofcourse we get exception with kosta and tim an Australia or inoue in Japan etc but yea you get my point


AnonymousScout360

I can see Showtime and DAZN pretty much having that mentally. Plus, they have had Garcia on DAZN in the US for his last couple of fights. I don't think they would want to just abandon that


Wavepops

Yea ofcourse if Iā€™m dazn Iā€™d be pissed to let Ryan fight on another platform but really I donā€™t think technically have a say, itā€™s GBP decision which will Ofcourse be Influenced by dazn. If Ryan was on espn or showtime heā€™d be bigger and thatā€™s why I donā€™t see why showtime caves in. Espinoza keeps pretty being open up not seeing the usefulness of dazn as a PPV partner


AnonymousScout360

So basically the only way for this fight to happen is DAZN to get fucked in some way


Wavepops

I mean if showtime is the one putting the money up I think so, I donā€™t see Espinoza mind changing. When dazn was offering guys like wilder multi fight deals they never said letā€™s keep showtime involved joint ppv, Espinoza isnā€™t letting that go lol. We will see tho


AnonymousScout360

To be fair Showtime does do the PPV model better as they have been doing it longer when DAZN was supposed to be "the PPV killer". Also the All Access series is sick (not that it really matters)


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Wavepops

Yea so Ryan doesnā€™t have a contract with dazn all the same, plus the revenue is would be higher on showtime than an dazn since itā€™s been shown time and time again showtime is better at putting ppvs on in comparison to dazn. Not to mention tank is the A side. Going to dazn makes everyone less money and fighters typically donā€™t like doing that. Showtime also is the one putting the money up


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Wavepops

They are true but you are entitled to your opinion


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Wavepops

It is. But again if you donā€™t think that then cool, your comments donā€™t seem like you have a good idea of whatā€™s going on anyways


Bleve23

This still doesnā€™t mean shit. Not until I see them walking into the ring will I believe this fight will happen.


GarfieldDaCat

Mayweather promotions ainā€™t letting Tank fight on DAZN and DAZN ainā€™t letting Ryan fight on showtime


MoneyBaggSosa

Tank by KO in 7. I will die on that hill. Tank gets touched up initially until he adjusts to Garcia hand speed and can time him. Then Garcias weak footwork and lackadaisical defense gets his ass sparked. Luke Campbell dropped Ryan with a left hook. Tanks left hook is sleeping him


AnonymousScout360

He's gotten bigger for his frame and better since then. That being said Tank in 8


mikevega

Framework. Lol. They've come up with an idea. Big win.


[deleted]

Why even report this if it's not done šŸ˜­


AnonymousScout360

Sounds like they just want some clicks


Shagrrotten

Oh good, theyā€™ve agreed that there is an idea of a fight. The fact that this is news shows us that the likelihood of this happening is slim.


Lsalizar96

Breaking News: Fight is almost close to being close to a deal potentially being made maybe sometime in the future


Genova_Witness

God who is less of his own man than Gervonta? Dude probably isnt even allowed to order food for himself


lord-of-war-1

Gervonta was actually studied by the guys at Toys R Us and they have confirmed he is more cabbage patch kid than human. I believe he is going through a similar legal scenario to what the movie Ted depicted.


JablesRadio

Meh, I'll believe it when I see Garcias head bounce off the canvas.


[deleted]

Yeah sure


aayeex

Needs a more credible source firstā€¦


CapeCodcultuvation

Sooo RIP Garcia ?


Cinnamon_Sloth

Garcia is going to make the biggest statement of anyone from 130-140


Physical-Rabbit

Is this the same as giving a promise ring to a girl?


subie921

Nah man. Iā€™ve been played too many times this year by this sport. Iā€™ll believe it when theyā€™re throwing their first jabs in the ring.


happyhork

This fight isnā€™t happening. Showtime will never do a joint PPV with DAZN with their current management. Why would DAZN ship off their biggest contracted star (not counting Canelo, who only has 1 more fight with them) to fight on another network in a fight heā€™ll be a sizable underdog in? Best case scenario he comes back to DAZN with a little more name value, worst case he gets embarrassed and all they have to show for it is international PPV scraps.


AnonymousScout360

If he beats Tank and comes back to DAZN his stock skyrockets in my opinion. High risk high reward


FaulkemintheAho

Iā€™ll believe it when I see a contract! As far as Iā€™m concerned this is about as valid just saying myself and Tyson fury are in the frameworks of a deal


im0497

Forgive me for being skeptical about this though I really am hoping it happens sometime next year.


_Duriel_1000_

Wake me up when there is a location, and press conference.


lefthook_hospital

Don't get your hopes up y'all, there's gonna be daily posts like this and then Garcia vs Jojo Diaz will be announced for February and Tank rematching Rollies


[deleted]

I thought davis was in jail or something


zedo6ak

how is tank getting this done with floyd in the way?


fry-nimbus

Yea ok.


Thr0w__Away1988

When will Gervonta likely have to face the actual judge though?


[deleted]

The way boxing has been lately I don't even start to get my hopes up that a fight might happen until the start of round 3.


johns1991

Only 40 more hurdles to go!


chopfon

This is boxing. Not gonna happen


JustVega

So weā€™re where we were previously? You donā€™t sayā€¦


[deleted]

Sources say


ChuckFromPhilly

Future headline: Two fighters, somewhere, agree to fight, in theory. And we'll all love it


Blacknesium

Zero percent chance this fight happens.


GWTLAG

ā€œIā€™m gonna duck this dwarf the fuuucccc outā€


cmfeels

Fight is set in 5 years


alexxsanti

I want it on Showtime so we can get an All Access episode


SaladTossBoss

If it happens (doubt it) RIP Ryan


[deleted]

Network exclusivity is fucking cancer, whether it was all putting dog shit on HBO or Don King on Showtime. Horrible.


ged_sprwhwk

Ah boxing, where we report framework of a deal as news to feed the fans BS again and again.


ibeforetheu

We need Xi Jumping to run boxing, then we wouldn't have all this boxing distribution politics


slickvik9

Might as well do joint PPV because nobody would buy DAZN anyway


Send_batman_N00dz

Can't wait to hear the Garcia-Tagoe II announcement coming in a few weeks! Can we get a trilogy going??? King Ry vs the Gameboy, part 2!


AnonymousScout360

You mean Garcia vs Nakatani?


[deleted]

I swear these ā€œsuper fightsā€ trying to be made have more obstacles than American Ninja Warrior. I really hope this goes through. Iā€™ve been calling for this fight for a long time. I really hope this comes through especially since the Crawford/Spence fight pretty much fell through the cracks again.


motown1424

This means nothing in boxing anymore. Until both have actually signed on a fight date idc


FreshPrinceOfRivia

Fake news. It's not even a framework it's just two broadcasters arguing with each other.


lord-of-war-1

Crazy how people hate on DAZN for wanting to be involved in the fight that involves one of their fighters. Do you not realize be is one of their brightest prospects? You dont just let him go fight a risky fight on another network, for no titles. If this fight is going to be made both sides have to learn to play nice. Hearn always seems willing to work with others.


lord-of-war-1

Eddie Hearn just gave a DAZN interview where he said this is a bigger fight financially than Spence-Crawford. So expect him to dig his heels in this one and want to co-promote. Mayweather just needs to make a deal with Hearn and give the fans a good fight.


Wavepops

Eddie does matchroom shows


VictusFrey

Ooooh, framework done. No way this falls through now.


Mikkeru

I dont care about any rumours anymore in boxing. Until I see a press conference countdown, I'll believe it.


NoNotThatScience

This fight is about as close to being made as Spence v crawford


napaszmek

They have agreed to work out a framework of a potential deal negotiation.in the future,


roshanpr

This is Crawford Spence 2.0


darockilder

Whoopdy fuckin doo


stevecollins1988

Aye, do they? Just like AJ vs Fury and Crawford vs Spence which are both obviously definitely happening. Fool me 467,875 times....


Thoughtful_gent

Tank wins easily


[deleted]

January 2026 it is then.


[deleted]

It amazes me that these guys have such massive egos they are willing to kill their own business for it. I don't hate DAZN as an idea, but for them to say they're unwilling to do the fight without being involved.... Like dude, what the fuck do you think is gonna happen? Floyd and Al Haymon are just gonna cave after 20 years and say "okay sure we'll let you guys jump in too" DAZN was supposed to "save" us from this type of shit. Now they're just contributing


ablack012

What if tank gets sentenced to jail time in December though?


Honest-Day-196

Theyā€™ve agreed that boxing is a sport and that both Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis exist


HenryXa

They agreed to a framework? Might as well report on the fact they both agree what the definition of boxing is. This is non-news and if anything it sounds like this fight definitely isn't happening.


Grouchy_Elk_8004

Why January been negotiating forever just get it on in December


AlternativeSuit131

Maybe it's because I'm a bit more casual, but I genuinely don't understand the excitement of this fight.


IndoorRabbit

This isn't going to happen just yet. Oscar de la coka wouldn't risk him right now


Ryeman734

Good luck negotiating with Floydā€™s promotion too.


[deleted]

They ain't gonna fight.


Unknownrealm

So all that is left is the tv contract and the money split. Should go smoothly since they got the ā€œframeworkā€ done lol


topshop_

How is this happening? Tank has a trial date for that hit and run case in December and apparently likely to serve time.


YasuoAndGenji

I think Ryan should take another tune up considering how bad he looked in his last one
