    theres a reason for it though...have to think deeper and look at the history of the parties involved....arum...oscar etc......its not just as cut and dry as saying "tank doesnt want challenges hes avoiding all the good fighters"....

Like that one quote" don't believe me (arum) today, believe me tomorrow or some shet like that. Or how does it go? Don't believe him yesterday, believe him today." However the pendulum sways...it holds merit in terms of how he goes in terms of doing stuff.
      Bob Arum - "Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth."

        I don't like it when Arum does that bullsheeit and I don't like it when Floyd does it. It needs called out and not respected or accepted. Both are pieces of sheeit doing the same sheeit. I don't watch the mismatches either. I actually act on not supporting the trash. That's the difference between me and a lot of people.

          you act like i bought tank vs LSC or tank vs barrios...i didnt.....so thats great...two of us didnt buy it...guess what? theyll do it again and make it a ppv......no one said they respect it...acceptance is different....they didnt miss our views or our money! it wont stop!.....you think youre different but youre not...you still follow the sport and watch videos and you wont stop no matter what kind of sheet these guys pull

          i know youre smart enough to understand whats been going on....and youve followed the sport...when floyd said that it isnt because they are scared and dont want challenges...its deeper than that.....dealing with arum is not fun.....they feel they can do their own thing and create a line of people wanting to fight tank because tank is a top dog/draw....that may be part of their angle...the other part could be they know tank wanting to fight teo, loma or taylor will be shot down by arum because of the history that arum has shown....the guys running tanks career are successful in this sport...they arent dumb.....they understand the BS....theyve dealt with arum before...they know how it works....

            How long have you been watching boxing? This is a page out of Top Ranks playbook. If you really believe Bob Arum is going to let Tank come and sleep his champion and just waltz on back to Mayweather Promotions then you’re the dumb one.

              I posted the proof from Tank's promoter about in house only fights. So the dumb one is clearly you. Here's the video once again, since you clearly are lacking brain cells. Your straw man argument won't work with me.

                No straw man argument can combat this. Tank's promoter exposes themselves. Leonard Ellerbe was right about Tank's fanbase being dumb as hell for sure. Clear evidence, from their team, yet morons still try to deflect and deny it.

                  His fans are even happy about it . Check out how pleased they are that Tank is making bank taking zero risk.

                    There’s no point of talking about a fight that’s not really doable right now. So Floyd’s just flexing his muscles. They put on a successful event that’s getting a lot of buzz and they are popping off. Floyd’s a business man so crossing over to the other side probably isn’t completely off the table. But there’s no offer coming from Top Rank right now and they know it. So they’re going to do what they’ve been doing which is continue to build Tank up. Whoever he fights is going to be creditable if they want to keep him on PPV.
