Oscar De La Hoya Details Why the Manny Pacquiao or ‘Tank’ Davis Fight is Impossible for Ryan Garcia
Follow Us
Few days ago, a potential Ryan Garcia vs Manny Pacquiao fight became the talk of the town. There was a flood of news surrounding the same, and this fight was reported to get staged this year. However, the fight fell through and isn’t happening anymore.
Recently, Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, was in a chat with Fight Freaks Unite. There, he talked about why it is difficult/impossible to stage Garcia’s fights with ‘Pacman’ or Gervonta Davis.
“When you have Ryan Garcia sending a post on Instagram, the world is going to hear about it and he kind of tied our hands behind our back when he announced he only wants to fight TV… Pacquiao or ‘Tank’ Davis. As you know, those are two fights that are almost impossible to make right now.

“When you’re dealing with different promoters and dealing with different networks, not that it’s impossible. But they’re not the easiest fights to make,” said ‘Golden Boy’.

De La Hoya asserted that they’re already working on ‘KingRy’s next fight, and it is definitely not against the Filipino Senator or Gervonta Davis.
Explaining further, De La Hoya revealed that he has to deal with a lot of other promoters or managers to stage such prolific fights. Needless to say, the obstructions for such mega fights are endless.
This is predominantly why the internet sensation Garcia couldn’t enter the ring with either of the two.

This precisely means that his only relevant fight next is with the champion Devin Haney. Garcia himself has a longtime dream of fighting for the ultimate title, and a fight with the ‘Dream’ will only excite him.
