As recently as last week, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya radiated optimism about a potential blockbuster between his popular ward lightweight Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) and PPV star Gervonta “The Tank” Davis (27-0, 25 KOs). Like, negotiations have already begun and so far everything is going in a positive way.
But already the day before, the functionary announced that he was curtailing negotiations due to the complete lack of interest on the other side.
Along the way, De La Hoya made it clear that he now intends to talk about the fight with ex-champion Teofimo Lopez, who returns to the ring in Las Vegas on August 13 and will meet Pedro Campa in the super lightweight division.
“We are trying to get through to the side of the Tank, but to no avail. We don’t even know who to talk to. Nobody picks up the phone, nobody calls back. I feel that they are playing games, so I reel in the fishing rods and go to the Teofimo fight this week, ”said Oscar.
Recently, Garcia offered Mayweather and McGregor to open up for him, and the other day, Broner turned to Ryan: “Dude, you don’t need this shit!”
