Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Name Me One 130-Pounder That Could Actually Do What Tank's Doing Saturday Night

[MONGOOSE66]

ATLANTA - Leonard Ellerbe accepts that most of Gervonta Davis' doubters will never be satisfied with what he does in a boxing ring. The CEO for Mayweather Promotions still couldn't help but remind them during an open workout Wednesday night at the College Football Hall of Fame that the undefeated Davis will attempt something highly unusual Saturday night. The significantly shorter southpaw will move up two weight classes - from the junior lightweight limit of 130 pounds to the junior welterweight maximum of 140 pounds - to challenge another undefeated fighter, Mario Barrios, for his WBA world super lightweight title at State Farm Arena.

Ellerbe is missing the point. Theirs no question that Tank is good. The question is “why doesn’t he fight the best fighters of his division”??

When Russell fought Loma, he was advised by Haymon but promoted by Golden Boy. PBC didn't become a thing until early 2015.

It's becoming extremely rare to find a Haymon fighter competing outside of the PBC umbrella.

Wilder v Fury/Martin v Aj/Breazele v Aj/ Pedraza v Davis/Of course Floyd v Pac …a few of the notable ones. If both sides want it …particularly HaymonFloyd, who have the $…it will get done.

Pedraza wasn't with TR when he fought Davis; his multi-fight deal with Arum began in 2018. Martin is a notable exception, as Haymon didn't step in his way and allowed Martin to make a career-high purse. With Breazeale, PBC would've benefited tremendously if one of their HWs was able to capture a title.

Let's be more specific: it's extremely rare to find Haymon's "super-stars" competing out of the PBC umbrella. You may see second-tier PBC affiliates fighting on other promoters' cards, but never the top-tier names. Hell will freeze over before Jermall fights Andrade on DAZN.
