@btc_angela. This is what has been said by only the very few of the boxing fans in boxing forums and the fans in bitcointalk.org might be thinking that this is only a conspiracy theory if we mention it hehehee. If King Ry did not win against Devin Haney, I reckon everyone would remain to think that this is only a conspiracy theory. It is headshaking. Much of these fans want to think and only accept Tank Davis has won without speculating why and how. We were scammed by Tank. We should not support this type of person.
There’s no doubt Tank had an unfair advantage but Ryan bears some responsibility for agreeing to those terms. Canelo and Floyd have used similar tactics before, but it has not had much impact on their legacy. For me it diminishes their accomplishments, which is why I consider Beterbiev, Nakatani, and Bivol better pound for pound fighters than Canelo, even though many lists have him third only behind Inoue and Crawford.
I think Ryan has no choice though, he is the B-side on that negotiations and we can say that he just wanted to fight Tank Davis. And there could be upside as well for him as far as PPV revenues and live gates and that's why he said yes.
And he just try to make it real but telling the public that there is a rehydration clause and Davis camp didn't disagree with him and they justify that Ryan is too big for Tank that's why they inserted it in the contract. And most likely why Tank as much as he had that superstar power, is still behind with some fighters that you mentioned as far as greatness is because he just wanted to protect his 0 at all cost.
We are not arguing about Ryan's choice. This is his mistake on signing the fight against the ICO scammer Tank with a rehydration clause. We are talking about the fans that gave Tank the cheers when he won vs. King Ry and agreeing on the argument that he gave up in the ring without considering the rehydration clause.
What mistakes though, he should knew in the beginning that he will be at a disadvantage. They can simply walk away from the contract, but eventually they did. And it's good that there are no NDA in this clause, LOL, because if there are, we will not know that there are such thing as rehydration clause in that fight. And even if Tank Davis win, it diminishes some of that aura of his big win because of this clause.
I reckon King Ry was there to make boxing great again. However, this scammer Tank is using the coward's tactic by hiding behind the contract. I would like to witness a rematch against Pitbull and another rematch against King Ry. We can be quite certain Tank will avoid these.
No way Tank Davis will fight this version of Ryan, he will be too big for Davis, and I doubt that they are willing to go up at 140 lbs to fight King Ry. They can't have another negotiations with rehydration clause, Ryan will not agree to that.
