Via Sean Jones: DAZN is not interested in a potential fight between lightweight champions George Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney. The two candidates in 135th place have the right to be selected for the next game of the Kambosos are Ryan Garcia and Vasily Lomachenko.
According to Kambosos promoter coach Robert Garcia, Lou DiBella called him and told him that Ryan is the one they’re looking at for their next fight.
The next Kambosos vs Ryan Garcia makes economic sense because it will bring a huge number of subscribers to DAZN. With Ryan’s huge following on social media and Kambosos’ huge yap, DAZN will attract a lot of new subscribers.
According to Dan Rafael, if Kambosos faces Ryan later this year, it will be DAZN’s pay-per-view.
It won’t make boxing fans happy to have to pay to watch five-year pro Ryan Garcia go head-to-head against Australian Kambsoso on PPV because neither of them have done enough in their careers for a match between them. sold to fans.
Aside from Kambosos’ recent win over injured/weight Teofimo Lopez, he hasn’t beaten anyone of note. Kambosos struggles against old boxers Mickey Bey [37] and Lee Selby [34] and didn’t show much talent in either of those games.
It’s easy to see why DAZN has little interest in the fight between Kambosos and Haney. That event will be poison for DAZN as it is a fight that is likely to only get a small number of subscribers.
Lou DiBella reveals the next Kambosos-Ryan
“If you put the puzzles together, Kambosos is with Lou DiBella and Lou DiBella is also Ryan’s next opponent. [Emmanuel Tagoe], this boy from Africa,” says Little Giant Boxing coach Robert Garcia. “He was with Lou DiBella.
“So maybe they [Team Kambosos] did something with Golden Boy [for a fight with Ryan Garcia]. ‘Perhaps, we’ll do this first, and then we’ll have a big fight.’ I’m pretty sure that’s probably the direction they’re looking at.
Lou DiBella is my friend and he called me because he thought I was Robert Diaz [Golden Boy executive]. He spilled the beans. I won’t say what he told me, but he told me things like that.
“So they are working together. I listened to everything and didn’t tell him I’m not Robert Diaz [of Golden Boy]’ said Robert Garcia.
“After a few days, he [DiBella] called me with someone else on the line. It was someone big. They were like, ‘Hey Robert [Diaz]here and there.’
“’I was like,’ This is happening again. Lou, who are you trying to call? Are you not Robert Diaz? No, I’m Robert Garcia. Oh, too bad we’re trying to call Robert Diaz. Well, you called me a week ago and told me the whole thing. You told me everything. ‘
“It was a funny conversation, but it was the big things. Honestly, I think It is very large for Kambosos to get a fight with Ryan Garcia because he will get a lot of money. It’s going to be huge, but I think Ryan Garcia will beat him.
“Look, Kambosos beat Teofimo, but just like Teofimo beat Loma on a bad day, I don’t think Teofimo beat Loma. Kambosos beat Teofimo on a bad day. I don’t think he beat him again.
“Kambosos was never a big name before beating Teofimo,” said Garcia. “He was never a top lead, someone everyone was talking about, signed with a big promoter.
“I don’t respect Lou DiBella, I love Lou DiBella, he’s my friend. But you [Kambosos]He had never been signed to a major advertiser, and he was always scrambling for the little cards Lou DiBella would put him in.
“He’s going to buy the place because Lou DiBella isn’t even promoting as much anymore. So Kambosos was never a big name, a big star. This war [with Teofimo] made him a star.
“I just think it was a bad night Teofimo had. It was a perfect storm. I’m happy for Kambosos because he’s getting a great salary. He had a big payday before Teofimo, and now he will get an even bigger payday.
“He [Kambosos] have a perfect night [against Teofimo]. I think Ryan beat him. Look, no disrespect to Kambosos, but Ryan is so fast and strong. God, he’s fast and strong. I think he beat him.
“They never expected these kinds of paydays [for Kambosos], and now he’s there. So take advantage of it. Enjoy it. Invest your money, buy yourself a nice house and invest your money.
“Do it right with your money. Take advantage of it for him [Kambosos] Robert Garcia said.
DAZN DON’T care about Haney’s fight
“If there is a Kambosos-Ryan Garcia war later this year… The Loma war is also being discussed and so is Garcia. Both are on the table. DAZN is NOT interested in the Haney fight“The aforementioned Dan Rafael Twitter.
You have a little-known four-belt champion from Australia up against a boring fighter who’s elevated to WBC champion status outside of the ring. DAZN will shoot himself in the foot if they give the Kambosos the green light to face Haney.
It looks like DAZN is focusing on fighters that can bring subscribers to their platform against 28-year-old Kambosos who are not a big name in the US Kambosos (20-0, 13 KOs) won his four lightweight titles last November to the chagrin of champion Teofimo Lopez.
Ryan Garcia’s massive social media following is said to place him on Haney as an option for Kambosos. Ryan (21-0, 18 KOs) got close to 9 million won followers on Instagram and 1.14 million won subscribers to his YouTube channel.
Unfortunately, 23-year-old Haney only has the WBC lightweight title for him and that won’t be enough for him to attract subscribers on DAZN.
Today, there are too many champions in each water weight class, and boxing fans no longer see title ownership as an automatic reason to pay attention to certain fighters. They need more than one title to capture the interest of their fans.
Kambosos promoter Lou DiBella has yet to say who he will choose between former 3-division world champion Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs) and Ky Ry Garcia, but it is likely he is focusing on Younger boxer due to his large size. social media tracking.
Also, it’s a fight that Kambosos has a better chance of winning. Kambosos is a great self-promoter, but he’s clearly not on the same level as Lomachenko in terms of talent. He will be fodder for the highly ranked #1 WBC candidate from Ukraine.
Kambosos-Ryan Garcia will be DAZN PPV
“De la Hoya said that if the battle of Kambosos-Garcia is done, It will be a pay-per-view DAZN event“, said Rafael. The streaming service once claimed that pay-per-view was dead with its creation.
“But it recently admitted that for the biggest wars on its platform, it may have to go the pay-per-view route with an additional fee higher than regular subscriptions. month or year that their customer buys.
“And I want one more battle with Loma that will be on the ESPN platform. A Garcia fight would be with DAZN,” said Rafael.
It will be interesting to see what the reaction of boxing fans will be if DAZN chooses to let the Kambosos vs RyanGaria fight become a pay-per-view fight. While DAZN may bring new subscribers to their platform, they will also lose a lot of customers.
