Comments Thread For: Gary Russell On Financial Upside Of Gervonta Davis Fight: It'll Sell More Than Him And Barrios

[GodfatherIV]

I wonder if Cris Colbert would fight Gary Russell Jr

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Why? Barrios was not any big name with any history of selling. Tank did over a 2M gate against Yuriokis f'n Gamboa ffs.

Tank is selling vs anyone in Atlanta, but you put this fight in the DMV area and it does great numbers. Put it where the Wizards play.

In terms of the gate maybe idk. But ppv sells it does less

Don't think so. Again, Barrios has no name at all. Like what card has he ever headlined or where has he done good ratings? Tank is going to get around 200k buys on his name alone going forward. To get in the 300-400k range or more, he will need opponents like Garcia, Lopez etc to reach that.

I don’t know about ppv, but the live gate would be bananas! You could throw it in the Redskins stadium. It would do well. The entire District, Maryland, and Virginia would come out.

He’s right about the fights not being made and these so-called boxing fans not demanding it.

Henry Armstrong, Charley Burley, and Sam Langford are rolling over in their graves.

Russell has no name either. People either know him as the guy who lost to lomachenko or dont know him at all. I see tank doing less and less without the top 135 guys.

Russell doesn't have a big name, that's a fact...But a bigger name than Barrios at least.

Tank fighting GRJ is a no win situation. When he beats GRJ he will get no credit for the win. It'll be he was too small or too inactive or both. Lose - lose situation for Tank. I would like to see it cause I believe it'd be a fun fight I just dont think Tank will get the respect he would deserve from the fight.

[ShoulderRoll]

If Tank doesn't want that smoke then GRJ should finally fight Leo Santa Cruz.

LSC said he is interested.

The Groundhog isn't gonna sell ppvs, hell Porky only does 200k proving he is a flop as it is. Might as well stick him on regular Showtime. They had to turn to Jake Paul to actually generate buys which I am certain are gonna surpass Davis. He has the young youtube loving crowd behind him. When it comes to Davis mismatches people are not willing to throw money away on those.
