    bob arum is the same guy that...leading up to bud vs mean machine...was all over the media telling everyone that they were targeting shawn porter next...."yeah we want porter hes our ideal target after this"...blah blah blah.....then like 2 weeks after that fight bud was being interviewed on cam at a fight and asked "shawn porter"?....."nah nah thats not on our radar"...lol...this was after kenny porter said "ok gie us a call we can do this"......thats all you need to know

    im not saying that tank and his people have been in touch in regards to fighting teo or loma....but tanks team already knows how that plays out...it plays out with arum saying all the right things in the media and never actually trying to make a deal...in fact hed only try to make tank look worse and a like a ducker in the media

    bob ran this game on floyd for years...then haymon turned it around on bud at 147....now bob has a hold on 135-140 and he would do the same freezing out of tank...no question about it....you all know this ...you all know it too......but you cant swallow your pride and admit it.........history has shown us this.........all floyd and tanks people are saying is "were not getting into that cat and mouse game with that guy...were doing our own thing"....just like floyd did years ago when he said "we aint chasing manny no more"......history shows us how it plays out between arum and haymon and how arum acts during it.....haymon doesnt speak or speak on arum at all...while arum runs to the media and spins everything like hes trying everything in his power when hes not at all

      exactly.....its so obvious and clear....yet these clowns will wilfully ignore it because they deliberately want to point the finger at haymon, floyd and tank...because it makes them feel better........

      arum is gonna try to do teo/loma 2....if loma wins they do a 3rd probably...if teo wins he goes up and sets up a fight with taylor....maybe at that point theyd be willing to do loma/tank but i dunno....and yeah if taylor and teo meet at 140 i could see tank getting the winner in a couple of years...

      thats what tanks doing...building himself to a point where hes a big enough draw everyone will want to fight him because itll be the biggest fight.....

      floyd, ellerbe and haymon already know what arum wants to do...what hes going to do....they know he will not look at tank....thats why they are focusing on self

        tank's people really contradict themselves i mean they say they aren't going after taylor 'cause is all about *****g asses into seats but at the same time they say tank is the bigger star in the sports, so even if taylor is uknown to the fans (isn't true) that wouldn't mean a thing since tank would carry the event by himself alone, right? i mean, the people that saturday night paid to see him fight barrios would also pay to watch him fight taylor for all the belts.

            say youre oscar....youve just alienated and lost the most prized asset in boxing in canelo! like he was with you and now hes not...whos bigger in the sport than canelo? not many....ok....so now youre company hinges basically on vergil ortiz and ryan garcia...both good young talents/prospects....you gonna want to risk 22 year old ryan garcia against tank right now? when you need garcia to to be the face of your company? if tank hangs an L on garcia right now that would not be good....now 4-5 years from now you could probably live with it....but right now? nope! not good for your business

            with what floyd said....you cant take it just literally...what hes saying is that the weights tank is at is controlled by arum....135-140....teo/loma/taylor....ellerbe, floyd and haymon all know how difficult arum is especially in regards to those 3......arum has always been critical talking trash in the media about them........he froze floyd out of a pac fight for years...now haymon is doing it to crawford at 147....and arum will run the game right back on tank! thats how these guys operate...its cut throat....what floyd is saying is "were doing our own thing we aint chasing nobody"...because he knows exactly what arum will do and how he operates
            But still thats b+tch mentality .Davis is still young let him go ko some more people he defo has it in him.However I agree that Arum is a rubbish human being but its just that by in house fights he means noone outside of pbc which means none of the top guys at 135.If he wans to move to WW he can because thats the only good in house fights he can get

              Still, if you ever come across Piada, give it a try. I ate that once or twice a week, every week, when I was single and had no one cooking for me.
              Will do, Kev. In fact I'm going to check right now to see if there's one nearby.

                It’s about leverage. Floyd’s saying this now because they feel right now Tank is bigger than the belts. Taylor’s undisputed but he’s not selling any tickets over here in America. Teofimo is undisputed but his next fight is delayed because it’s not selling any tickets aka Teo’s got COVID. Right now Tanks the top draw but they think he can get bigger. Big enough to force the others to leave ESPN and come to Showtime to land the fight. It’s a page right out of the Top Rank play book.

                    thats their way of saying "bob arum has plans for taylor that dont involve us....lets take a shot at taylor and pump tank up".....you have to read between lines...if they came calling for taylor right now what do u think bob would do "were busy sorry thanks"....they know it....

                    dont u think bob would be more interested in making teo/taylor or bud/taylor than tank vs taylor? i think so too....im sure all would agree
