Looks like last weekend’s Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia PPV clash was a big winner. The event reportedly drew 1.2 million PPV buys plus delivered a live gate of $22.8 million – the fifth highest in Nevada history. Davis stopped Garcia in the seventh round.

Actually went to Winghouse to watch this, but they were at capacity and turning people away. Tried Hooters up the street, but they weren’t televising the fight, and there were probably no more than 10 people in that place. Called another Winghouse, also at capacity, so we went back to the first one and ended up watching it from outside through the open bar area with about 40-50 other people who couldn’t get in. Big windows all around the building with people crowding around each window to watch. $10 cover for everyone who managed to get in, free for everyone standing outside. Hadn’t really gone out to watch a fight like that in awhile. It was nice to see the amount of interest this fight drew…
I read on another web site that there was a technical problem with the live feed leaving many unhappy customers……
Folks sometimes like to say boxing is dead. Fans know that it’s alive and well if other boxers are willing to do what Tank and Ryan did. That’s the issue.
I hear the “boxing is dead” thing sometimes too, or that it’s being overtaken by MMA, etc. Didn’t seem that way at all on that night. And yes, all credit to Tank & Garcia for their willingness to make it happen. Boxing needs more of this.
Tank is heading to be what Leonard Ellerbe predicted: A really PPV star, but is a shame Gervonta is too small to go through weight classes, although there are some fights that could generate a lot of interest, like the rematch with Isaac Cruz, Kambosos, Shakur, and the winner of Loma-Haney, none of them will match the interest and success of him vs Garcia though.
Kambosos? They hoping teofimo wins so they can have Davis fight him..that would be pretty big with smack talking and both with big power
wow…..
Everyone thinks Garcia quit, i agree his career will never be the same
Tank and Garcia fight generated 1.2 million PPV purchases, that being said, seems like the boxing organizations have lost grip of their companies. Champions have an obligation to defend their titles against the best. Davis vs Shakur, Shakur vs Haney, Usyk vs Fury etc. Too many fighters are avoided.
Too bad that most of these buys were likely for the loser and do not necessarily spell PPV success for Davis’ future fights.
Good point. Garcia had a lot to do with the PPV numbers I’m sure…
I couldn’t find a good enough stream so i ended up buying it, No regrets good fight.
