De La Hoya told TMZ: “Tank, I know you had your last fight with Floyd Mayweather, and I respect Floyd Mayweather, and think he did a tremendous job with your career.

“But, I’m ready to offer you a multi, multi, multi, multi million-dollar offer to fight Ryan Garcia.

“It’ll be the biggest purse that Tank Davis has ever made.
