Things got a little heated over on Twitter today (June 9) between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis. Boxer Ryan Garcia has had a growing frustration with Golden Boy and streaming service DAZN over how things have been moving behind the scenes. Garcia has been sharing that he’s secured his next fight date a for July 4, however, Golden Boy still hasn’t in this post-COVID-19 lockdown era. Sports Illustrated reports that the July date is now a thing of the past, and Garcia has lamented that he’s not being compensated financially the way he deserves.

“That’s bullsh*t,” Garcia said of his $200K offer to fight. “Why am I being held back financially? What is the problem here? Why is DAZN giving out big numbers to guys fighting nobodies? It’s f*cked up how I’m being treated. I’m not asking for $100 million. Just give me the check I deserve. How am I one of the biggest fighters in the world and I get bigger paychecks outside of boxing?”
Gervonta Davis saw a tweet about the above quote by Garcia and poked fun at his fellow boxer. “???????? 200k?????? He need that money back..stop trying to keep up broke boy! ???.” Ryan Garcia clapped back at Davis by replying, “Yeah I get endorsement deals outside of boxing, something you don’t know about bc you hit woman.”
Garcia was bringing up the recent charges made against Davis “And it still don’t add up what I’m getting paid…Mr ✌????? uh occasion,” Davis responded. Check it out below.
