Gervonta Davis says he’ll fight Ryan Garcia again, “tax his a**,” but he wants $150 million for the rematch. That’s his firm asking price, and he’ll be waiting for it to be sent over to him before he agrees to fight the young social media star again.
Two years ago, Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) knocked out Garcia in the seventh round, albeit with the benefit of two-prong weight stipulations of a 136-lb catchweight and 10-lb rehydration limit.
Surprisingly, Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) agreed to both, and that was his undoing because he looked like death warmed over during the fight. He appeared rail-thin and sickly.
Tank and his management got over on Garcia, who was desperate and naive to the world at the time, and foolishly agreed. What a dummy. I bet Tank and his team were laughing at Ryan when he agreed to this handicap.
Tank’s $150M Fantasy
“I’ll tax that a** again. Tell them boys to give me $150 m’s. I’m coming,” said Gervonta Davis on Instagram. Tell them to send that bag and I’m coming.”
For a rematch to have a chance of happening, Gervonta, 30, will need to come down from his demands of $150 million cool ones and back off with the weight handicaps that might feel he needs to gain an edge.
KingRy’s the A-Side?
A lot has changed since Davis fought Ryan in 2023, and the popularity of Kingry has soared beyond where the Baltimore natives is right now. If anything, it would be Garcia being the A-side in the negotiations.
Money-wise, Tank might get lucky and be paid $30 million if Turki Al-Shiekh gets involved in helping to make a fight between him and Garcia.
Davis has hurt his career by fighting just once since his win over Garcia, choosing Frank Martin, and then making another blunder by choosing to fight Lamont Roach next on March 1st. It’s a combination of a lack of amateur, fear, and just basic laziness on Tank Davis’s part not to take the right fights to increase his popularity rather than hurting it.
