Two huge fight cards this weekend, happily not going head-to-head like last Saturday night.
Saturday night in Las Vegas on DAZN, we have WBC lightweight champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (26-0, 15 KOs) taking on WBC interim titleholder JoJo Diaz (32-1-1, 15 KOs). The fighters have been going at it on social media, so this is shaping up to be a good one.
Sunday night in Los Angeles on Showtime PPV, Gervonta “Tank” Davis (26-0, 25 KOs) defends against Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz (22-1-1, 15 KOs).
Haney is a 6:1 favorite, and Davis is a whopping 14:1 favorite, however, both Diaz and Cruz are considered live ‘dogs so these should be good fights. Undisputed lightweight champion George Kambosos is expected to be on hand at both fights.
The main Haney-Diaz support bouts are undisputed female welterweight champion Jessica McCaskill (10-2, 3 KOs) against late sub Kandi Wyatt (10-3, 3 KOs). Original foe Victoria Bustos had visa issues. Also in action is heavyweight Filip Hrgović (13-0 11 KOs) against Scott Alexander (16-4-2, 8 KOs).
The Davis-Cruz PPV is going for $74.99. Undercard fights include 6’6 super welterweight Sebastian Fundora (17-0-1, 12 KOs) against Sergio Garcia (33-0, 14 KOs) in a WBC title eliminator, middleweight Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-3, 10 KOs) against Carlos Adames (20-1, 16 KOs), and featherweight Eduardo Ramirez (25-2-3, 12 KOs) against Miguel Marriaga (30-4, 26 KOs).
Another notable fight that will air on BT Sport in the UK Saturday is the rematch between top light heavyweights Lyndon Arthur (19-0, 13 KOs) and Anthony Yarde (21-2, 20 KOs) in London.
WHAT I’M WONDERING SINCE KAMBOSOS IS GOING TO BE AT THE HANEY FIGHT WILL HE OFFER HANEY A SHOT AT THE UNDISPUTED TITLE IF HANEY WINS…. HANEY CLAIMS HE’S BEEN CHASING THE UNDISPUTED TITLE SO THAT WOULD A SHORT CONVERSATION IN SAYING YES LET’S GET IT ON…. AND THIS IS CHIPPERRRRRRRRR
– Wow. PPS (Pay-Per-Screw) is now up to $75.
– Not good.

Best card imo is on Sunday, too bad that undeservingly has been elevated to ppv. Haney vs Diaz I won’t be surprised if we get a 12 rounds snooze.
Allegedly, Haney has verbally agreed to fight Kambosos in Australia next, there’s video on youtube about it. Kambosos knows that he can get 80,000 people in stadium out there with the chance to get all of the lightweight belts while making a boatload of money, smart and ballsy move. Should be a good one if it comes to fruition. Haney better not sleep on JoJo though.
Haneys belt is about as legit as Diaz and Tanks belts
I’m interested to see the buy rate for the PPV as it’s not a marquee matchup. Tank does draw well but at 75$ a pop this is a big test of his appeal.
This weight class is becoming very interesting since Kambosos won last week !
both fights should be on free tv 75 dollars a pop to watch davis no way haney vs diaz is on dazn another way to pay for a fight no way
PPV numbers are gonna tank for the Tank fight since the only watched sport is the NFL on Sunday night football.
Im hoping Diaz can do just like Kambosos and expose the fraud Haney the only fight Kambosos should agree to is the one Lopez didnt want and thats Lomachenko is the mandatory of two of the 4 organizations Haney should be fighting Tank
I’m more interested in seeing Sebastian Fundora vs. Sergio Garcia on the undercard than Tank Davis vs. Isaac Cruz in the main!
