“We Should Stop Doing This” – Conor McGregor Slams “Stupid” Ryan Garcia & Gervonta Davis for Putting Their Entire Purse on the Line

One of the most financially successful combat sports athletes of all time, Conor McGregor knows a thing or two about money management in the fighting game. Therefore, he gave out some free advice on social media in light of some recent developments in the boxing scene. The upcoming bout between boxers Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis has the fans on edge. After being at each other’s throats for a long time, the undefeated boxers will finally settle their differences in the squared circle. The lightweight showdown will go down on April 22 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

As if the stakes were not high enough already, Garcia and Davis recently decided to put their purses on the line. The undefeated three-division champion Davis appeared alongside popular streamer Kai Cenat for an Instagram live session with his opponent.

As the war of words escalated between the pair, Cenat, who was taking Davis’ side, proposed that Garcia should put his fight purse on the line. ‘King’ Ryan and ‘Tank’ both welcomed the idea and now the fans are on the edges of their seats.

However, do not consider Conor McGregor impressed with these shenanigans. Because of his $100 million dance against Floyd Mayweather, the Irishman had strong sentiments against fighters betting their purses.
