He clearly dont want Tank to fight Loma. Not saying Tank is ducking but his promoter is. Alot of times people blame the fighters but its the promoters stopping the fights cause they dont want to blow up the money.
Now, if true, Tank will fight the Japanese kick boxer.
Floyd, great boxer, sh**tty promoter so far.
Floyd is helping his fighter make as much money as possible. Can't blame him for that.
I agree thats his job to do so but in some ways its a bit of a robbery towards fans since they are the ones that help bring money to the sport and yet we get given mismatches in return
doesn't seem right there should be a system in place where the best have to fight the best at some point
sport is based on that its watching 2 opposites that seem unstoppable collide thats why boxing is starting to fade out of the spotlight you get no ending to the stories it builds and if you do its 5 years too late
imagine watching the NFL and the 2 teams that make it to the super bowl never actually play the game and they move on to the next season
Lomachenko is too good a fighter to not wait until he's compromised in some way. That is the floyd way and he can even announce it without a care because his stupid fanboys will still excuse it.
Running too much is not illegal. It is a boxing tactic. If Floyd can "run" too much it is because his opponent can't catch him
Holding illegally is a fair criticism. Every fighter does dirty stuff, every single fighter. Ward and BHop were infamous for throwing a low shot once in awhile or a shot at the thighs...helps deter running. I believe Floyd has historically lost a point before for holding too much (JLC 1)...so that's a fair criticism
Conditions in his favor? That is up to the opponent and has nothing to do with Floyd. Floyd wanted to fight Manny in 2009, but Manny wouldn't let the conditions be in Floyd's favor...fight didn't happen.
GGG refused to let Canelo dictate the conditions in 2015...fight didn't happen until more neutral conditions...in 2017.
Floyd cannot be blamed for exercising his "A" side prowess. He earned it and it was not given to him. None of his "A" side prowess ever involved doing something illegal.
IV drips? Fighters get IV drips all the time. It's mostly Pac fans (like yourself) that bring this sort of thing up. What ya'll forget is Manny's claim to fame was the DLH win and in that very fight DLH used an IV drip. Freddy Roach even says..."they (DLH's team) waited too long to rehydrate and we could see the needle marks"...many fighters use saline/vitamin IV drips. There's nothing wrong with it although it is considered medicinal. In Floyd's case he got an IV drip at 38 years old...it is not suspicious at all for a 38 year old boxer to be dehydrated...that's pretty normal
Vampire facials? Homie is this TMZ? That's like a fashion thing. Please grow up or find a fashion forum
Yea sure. He said it himself.
Why do i care how much he makes? Hes a boxer... I u derstand Floyd doing it but why would Tank do these freak shows? The guy didnt prove sh##t in his own sport. He has HUGE potential but hes being poorly promoted. What exposure will this exhibition fight give him? Seriously?
It's a prize fight. Consider it his side job like normal people.
It doesn't affect his record or match schedule for the year. Why do you care how he makes his money? It won't count as a real fight and don't think it's gonna happen.
Lol. I think he runs too much and holds illegally. Makes conditions in his favor, which he says himself he does. Uses IV and does vampire facials. Not a good boxing fan.
The arugment is definitely viable for the first 4 you list, but I had to look up this vampire facial. I was expecting something completely different. Thanks for enlightening me!
You have too many weird fantasies about these guys.
Lol the mind is a beautiful thing! Here are two questions for you. How do you feel about the management of Tank's career? or what material would you prefer for your personal custom Versace onesie? (Im thinking you're a lover of leather) You can answer whichever you want, or none at all, but thanks for thinking about my fantasies. You know you envisioned it when you read it. You might have even added a little good night kiss. "Sweet dreams money"
You are speaking the truth.
If the Tenshin fight (don't think so) makes Gervonta half of what Floyd got in Japan, I'm all for it. Exposes Davis to a worldwide audience. 5 mill is a cool loot too. Exhibition match. Doesn't affect Davis' boxing record. Who wouldn't milk that?:bottle::bottle:

LMFAO! Does Mayweather serve "Money juice" instead of "Jesus juice"?
Seriously though, Davis is from one of the roughest places America has to offer. A place where proving oneself day in and day out is all that matters. I believe with that adversity, not only can a youngster become a great fighter, but a hell of a person as well. I know that Mayweather is offering them the opportunity to break the shackles of poverty, but didn't that poverty bring Davis to the gym at 7 years old to train as hard as he has? Setting up easy fights is the road to creating a soft fighter and that can only be masked by giving him soft matchups. Boxers don't fight the name, they fight the person. These Promoters are pimping out their fighters and fans alike with all this talk of paper titles and bank accounts. Playing off of their biggest mental weakness (the fear of being poor) that has created such a hard fighter in the first place. I think a lot of "fight fans" should look more into stocks and fortune 500 lists if they want to worship riches. The p4p should always be about who is the man with the most boxing skill, not the most expensive commodities. Luring people in with riches is how the pimp turns out his ho. What I saw last night was a pimp not allowing his ho to think, just like a well trained pimp should.
Picturing Gervonta Davis in a Versace onesie during non-fighting weight, while Mayweather tries to read him Peter Pan before bed, would be a sight to behold. Thanks for the good laugh!

Floyd is milking him for as long as he can.

Floyd sounds like he’s justifying his own career
It’s starting to look like history repeating itself
He said don’t worry , Lomachenko will be forty in no time
Where have I seen this scene before
Exactly this. Floyd waited for PAC to age and lose a step, he even ad it’s he marinated the fight for five years. He has never fought an elite at their best, never!
Tank has no charisma and doesn’t seem comfortable with a microphone in his face. So Floyd will do his talking for him in order to hype his name. Tank looked out of place during the ring walk, like a one of those bears on a bicycle at the circus. I almost felt bad for him. Ironically, for all the shyt Floyd fans talked about Manny deferring to Arum to select his next opponent, Tank did the exact same thing. Would not commit to a name or opponent he wants next, just defers to Haymon and Floyd.
Only fight ai want to see Tank in at 130 is either Berchelt or Santa Cruz if he moves up.

except he wont. Loma is like 29-30 years old.
He has five prime years left
If you can criticize Floyd's boxing career than you are probably not a good boxing fan. Floyd's boxing resume is among the best in the past 20 years...Canelo, DLH, Pacman, Corrales, Hernandez, Cotto, JMM, Judah, Mosley, Hatton...literally all of them except for maybe Corrales and Hatton are instant HOF'ers.
Let me guess, little g has a better resume?
:drive: :3some: :crying:

Yea I don't get all this sh^t where Floyd acts like Tank is 8 years old & can't speak for himself. That sh^t is going to come to a head sooner or later cuz it makes Tank look like an idiot & Tank has to feel that & has or will have some anger about it outwardly sooner or f#cking later I'd bet.
I am 100% sure Tank leaves Floyd as soon as his contract finishes.
It’s difficult to hate on Tank because you can see the potential. Yes the Mayweather name would bring you hate but it would bring you cash as well. He just need to make sure that his competition is good. Keep the man active, and get him the fights that would make him a mega star.
Floyd is literally doing what every other promoter does, except he brings a **** ton of history, and hatred with him, and he doesn't help with the way he speaks, and how aggressive he gets when a reporter asks him a question he doesn't like.
