On a live video, Garcia joined Davis and proposed that they bet their entire purse for the fight.
Garcia is confident of victory as he insists that Davis agrees that the entire purse goes to the winner.
Discussion between Garcia and Davis
Garcia on Instagram Live started off by blasting Davis for his work ethic as a professional.
He then went on to say Davis is not prepared for the intensity he will bring when they face off in the ring.
He said, "Look at all you guys. I’m all by myself. I just did the work. You guys are playing games. I put the work in already today.
“You ain’t even ready for me. You can’t even talk. You on pause right now. Shut up. I’m going to work you. What do you want to bet?
“The whole thing. Everything is already on the line. Let’s go.
“Didn’t you hear what I said? Everything is already on the line anyways.
Gervonta responded, “Do you want to bet. The whole purse. That’s a bet.
Davis agrees as Garcia wants a contract in place
Garcia wrapped up the bet conversation when he added, “You hear me online. Let’s bet. Let’s make the contract and sign it. Let’s do it. If you really want it. I am going to win for sure.”
To prove he is serious about the bet, he suggested that he contacts the lawyers to have a contract drawn up to ensure what happens after the fight.
The winner of the fight may hinge on who lands the first accurate headshot given the amount of power these two wield.
Both Ryan and Tank have a track record of eliminating their previous opponents with single shots.
Given the large profits these two will produce, their respective promotion teams won't want to take a chance with that money on a bet for the entire purse.
Just as they explained at their official press conference, Garcia and Davis are setting the stage for the top stars in the same division fighting in the prime of their career, which is a rare case in boxing but taking a page out of the recent success of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
