    Didn't PBC want to promote the rematch or something even if Garcia won? How is that fair lol. All GBP seems to be asking for is either winner take all (no rematch) or if Garcia wins that GBP gets to promote rematch.

    Hardly unreasonable and thinking so comes off as shilling for pbc.

    At any rate, latest news as I understand it is that the roadblock has been fixed and the fight is all but signed and no issues left.

    Tank tryna fight Garcia the way he was tryna fight Loma...or Teo...or Haney...or Shakur...or rematch Pitbull...or anyone relevant for that matter.

    Thanks for inadvertently pointing out how bad Tank's career is by attempting (and failing) to diminish Garcia young career.

    The difference between PBC and GoldenBoy is that PBC is professional with network TV deals whereas Golden Boy are broke with no tv deal or pay per view platform. Empty vessels shout the loudest. Rematch clauses are pretty standard and the A side does not cede promotional rights hell the A side can get rights on the opponents future fights but that is not even being asked for. There are many ways to duck a fight !

    Don’t need to diminish Garcia’s career as he needs no help in that regard.

    I get that, just saying that what GBP is asking for isn't that unreasonable, hardly issues showing they're trying to duck. If they wanted to duck the negotiations wouldn't have even gotten this far.

    At any rate, it appears PBC did concede on these. So fight should be announced soon.

    That last paragraph sums up everything that's wrong mate.

    Like I said, for me a much bigger fight should be either vs Haney. He's the champ.

    Watching UFC really highlights so many issues with matchmaking in boxing.

    At least he honest bout being a part time fighter. Rest of PBC somehow fight less often than RyGa and do nothing but versus cherries.

    This is how you know dude a PBC girl. She tryna talk about A side B side negotiations as if she involved in the paycut. Literally catching feelings for professional athletes my Lord

    Bottom line - PBC wanted a 1 way rematch clause in which they had exclusive promotional rights. Yes, there are many ways to duck a fight

    What else is there?
    Haney is busy with Loma and there is no point in fighting anyone else at the weight, since Ryan would struggle making 135.
    Prograis is the only available belt holder at 140. IBF and WBA belts already have fights scheduled.
    There is nothing for Ryan to do, besides wait or fight Prograis. And at some point Ryan is going to have to fight someone good again, might as well be Prograis.

    Id favour Prograis to beat Garcia. Very good fight, I'd still rather see him fight Tank though.

    PBC were always the lead promoters hence they have the upper hand and Golden Boy’s business is broke basically without a to deal. These should be non issues but making such BS issues is a way to get out of the fight. When PBC had Ruiz Jr fight AJ they did not try any of the BS as regards because they knew their fighter was the PBC ditto K2 did not try such crap in the Usyk vs AJ fights.
