Maybe, we all know that Oscar or at least his guy Ryan Garcia wanted to get the attention of the media to create the hype for this fight although we are already waiting for this huge fight to be sign.
So the storylines have been seen, regardless if the fight is April or May, at least they got the contract sign and that is the good news for us.
We will just have to wait for the official date and venue and then bookies opening their lines.
for sure they will create a hype as much as they can to get the attention of the boxing community and to eventually generate good income out of this fight. oscar's camp is grooming garcia to be their cash cow in this sports. but his upcoming fight with tank davis is not a very good looking one. what i mean is, davis may win on this fight. so if garcia loses, what's next for him?
I don't think they'll excell more effort to sell this fight, it has already gained enough hype around the internet. I've seen bunch of posts already regarding this fight, YouTubers even took advantage of this match, compiling their own predictions on the outcome of this fight.
So, even if they don't do the usual trash talking and unnecessary diss to each other to hype up the match, the fans will do it for them.
Remember, they are both an exciting to watch fighters.
They created the hype already, it will be easily sold with the fans as they are waiting for a big fight, and thus far, this is the only big fight that was confirm to be happening this year, so no much competition from the spending of the fans. By being both champions and undefeated, that would already make the game more interesting to watch.
Well, you can't ask for less from this fight, because we have two great boxers, one is García, who generally according to specialized boxing forums because they don't have much confidence in him, they feel that García is missing something, I don't know I think that maybe Garcia's training will not have been so hard, and against a great like Davis, I would be training too hard day and night to have a sufficient level to face him and beat him, it's the only way I see that I can Doing this is a workout from another world, apart from Davis being very good, he has an enviable defense, so it will be very difficult for them to connect him with any combination.
As for the venue, they are talking about 3 possibilities, (a) MGM Grand Garden Arena, (b) T Mobile Arena, and (c) Allegiant Stadium.
So they are all in Las Vegas, the gambling capital so expect a lot of money going to flow not only in this fight, but in the casino's surrounding it. There has hasn't been a boxing event in Allegiant Stadium, the home of Las Vegas Raiders who reported to have a sitting capacity of 70,000.
MGM has 20,000 and T Mobile Arena 17,000 sitting capacity.
So let's wait till the final contract has been signed and if they are looking to sit more boxing fans, Allegiant Stadium might be the good choice here.
Allegiant Stadium would be my choice this is a big event and you want as many people filling the seats. I am not sure if they could sell out a stadium that big but a 17000 capacity stadium or a 20000 is to small imo. MGM would be the 2nd choice because it is larger then the t mobile one. Allegiant Stadium would be historic though if it is true that no boxing fight has been hosted there before.
Right, it's better to get a bigger stadium to fill all the fans instead of smaller venues like MGM or T-Mobile, although this two has been the staples for fights in Las Vegas for the last couple of years. But it won't hurt to insert a huge Allegiant Stadium in this magnitude of a fight. Although there are no official belts in the line, but both are two of the hottest boxers are far as drawing crowds. And it will be huge money if they can fill they 70,000 capacity and could set a precedence in Las Vegas.
It is only better to get a bigger stadium if you think they can sell out the smaller ones which I think this fight will attract more then 20000 fans. 70000 is huge and I do not think they will get that many fans to buy tickets but they could probably do half of that which is still better. I do not know how much Allegiant Stadium would cost compared to the mgm or t mobile stadium but they should be able to justify it.
The truth is that I am surprised by the calculations that they have taken for this fight, because to say that 20,000, but what 70,000 are is wow, this could simply be a fight with the greatest number of demands that you have, of course it is also that in this case the fight has a very good tone, is that García also helps to make it an attractive fight, and for his part, Davis is one of those boxers who knows how to take advantage of all this, I imagine he is very excited to show off, just to think that his fight He has caused all that number of people to be taken into consideration to go see him, I think that DAVIS will have in his mind to end everything in an epic way, and who knows if he even wants to try with a knockout, you never know.
a update:
Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs. Ryan Garcia: 3 possible sites in Las Vegas, Nevada for April 15thBy Craig Daly: The Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia mega-fight is being targeted at one of the following venues on April 15th on Showtime PPV in Las Vegas, Nevada: Allegiant Stadium, T-Mobile Arena, or MGM Grand. Boxing Scene is reporting the news of the Tank vs. Ryan fight heading to Las Vegas, which makes sense because that’s where most of the mega-fights in the U.S. take place nowadays. Ideally, the Davis-Garcia fight will be staged at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas because it’s the largest venue by far of the three, allowing more boxing fans to attend and for a lower price cost of the ticket than if the contest takes place at the other two.
