Dude literally has no chance at super featherweight and is fighting a lightweight. He could be fighting JoJo Diaz or Jamel Herring and have little chance at success. It's a shameful fight that isn't meant to do anything but put a name on Tank's resume and build his star. Anybody know how much Leo is making for this?
This was Haymons plan all along.
Have a couple Mexican American fighters with a decent fan base.
Build them against sub par competition.
Then feed them to their next Potential star.
Can't blame Leo and Abner.
Both got paid well and Mares got an announcing gig out of it.
I always felt this was the case. Santa Cruz has been on Mayweather’s PPV and in the long run he didn’t turn out to be a Mexican star nobody cares about him.
So now Haymon is going feed Santa Cruz to Tank who is going to be another Haymon failed boxing ppv Star. Not to start a uproar but look at Tank’s resume he’s been feasting on smaller older Latin fighters desperate for a paycheck for the last 3 years. You can say he loves beating on those type of fighters
I don't see this as a cash out for Leo either. I think he genuinely believes he can beat Tank. I hope he does, but Tank is looking to get all the advantages in this fight.
IDK??? I'm thinking dropping some coin on the over. Odd the over 10 rounds is -150?? Guess favored go over??
Rounds 4-6 or 7-9 Tank by TKO +450 by be a good side bet...
There's 7-12 at +375 also
I swear I don't remember seeing these half fight, 1-6 and 7-12 round grouping props before pandemic. Usually was like pick a round or 1-2 or 1-3 style groups.
I don't think Santa Cruz is cashing out and expecting to lose. i think he expects to win and his chance to win is not that small. the weight limit is 130 and he has been very successful at 130. he throws twice as many punches per fight as Davis so if the fight goes the distance he could win just on landing more punches than Davis in most rounds.

Pretty much worked with me and Errol lol. But I saw his previous fights and what he can do. I'm not sold on tank though . if he really wants to make a statement then he'll just bullldoze over Leo but Floyd wants him to box so more than likely it'll be boring ..

That PPV cut must be sexy enough, but I think LSC don't see it that way. I think LSC thinks he can beat Tank. So he doesn't see this as a cash out.
I suspect LSC shows some competitiveness early at worst, before Tank's power gets him being more survival oriented, if not all night.
I do think he'll come up short. To me this is a 80/20 Tank fight & feels kinda like a lighter weight verison of Errol vs Mikey in how it'll look right down to Tank showing off his boxing ability like Errol did to the surprise of some.
Green k when I got it. Remind me never to bet against the power of pride.
Yup
This is as clear as a cash out can get.
Cmon kid, Leo is gonna go down swinging and fight like a true Mexican.
Cashing out is good.
Floyd thought Jose Luis Castillo was a cash out, so did the media.. he took Floyd to deep waters!
Fucking Tank... I was on the bandwagon after the Pedraza KO but after that fight he hasn't done anything. Hell, I think I respect Pedraza more than I do Tank for going on after that and testing himself.
He could’ve/should’ve fought Gary Russell 4 f***ing years ago. :lol1:
Still annoys me that fight never happened...
I can't believe we missed out on that fight. Smh...

I'm sure he doesn't but I think none of these guys really do.
Guess I'm just getting tired of these types of match ups...
