Multiple outlets are reporting that the scheduled October 24 Showtime pay-per-view featuring Gervonta Davis against Leo Santa Cruz is being moved to October 31 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Spectators WILL be allowed to attend the fight. The reason for the move is both to avoid a competing UFC pay-per-view the same day and to generate additional revenue from ticket sales.
The move also means Davis-Santa Cruz would be going head-to-head with ESPN’s scheduled telecast of Naoya Inoue vs. Jason Moloney.
Earlier that same day is the heavyweight bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Dereck Chisora in DAZN, so it looks to be a full day of action.
Any Inoue fight all day everyday over a Davis fight
Inoue vs. Moloney I guess is not PPV, if I am right, Davis vs. Santa Cruz could be in route to be a major flop. Usyk vs. Chisora is very attractive, but it’s earlier.
Why are they scared to go against UFC? Different fanbase. Either way this bout doesnt belong on PPV. Santa Cruz barely could beat a past best Abner Mares. This is a decent fight, but boxing doesnt even build these guys up. Just shoves them on Ppv.
I love Texas. However, Davis better make sure to TKO or KO Santa Cruz because Texas officiating and Texas judging may involve “high Texas emotions.”
So right! Whittaker vs Chavez ring a bell
