Comments Thread For: Mayweather CEO: A Lot Of People Think Tank Davis Just Has 'Urban' Fans, But He Pulls A Crowd Wherever We Go

Anyone ever notice that Ellerbe claims that Tank is a " Star" but Showtime never releases his PPV buy's, interesting since Canelo just did 800k and they released those numbers with in a few days. Guessing by his guaranteed purses which are around one to two million, I'm guessing 100 to 200k for PPV buy's.

They stop releasing numbers like 5 years ago. And someone leaked the Canelo numbers to whatever reporter. Showtime never released the numbers officially.

By the time he gets a real fight he’ll be around 30 to 32. He’ll have 2 years of prime before the decline starts. This guy and his promotion company are fine with just collecting money and continuing this trajectory.

A boxing career is extremely short and this guy is already over halfway done.

Oops.

A decent sized venue in London sold out when he fought Liam Walsh and that was about 4 years ago. I'd certainly make the effort to go watch if he fought here again.

really, you folks trying to have a serious discussion about whether PBC will put their biggest fraud, the paper tank, in against anyone serious, in any division - they know exactly what would happen to him. almost everyone would see what a fraud he is then. SEE PAPER TANK RUN, that will be the result of any mandatory with anyone serious (I cant recall a more accomplished runner, he has already run from everyone serious in 3 divisions)... to help everyone understand, GO to paper tanks boxrec page. only 2 names which are even recognizable - one way past his prime when paper tank fought him and the other two weight divisions above where he had any achievements. thats all the paper tank can handle. if PBC were confident that he could handle anything else, you can be sure that we would have seen better matchups by now... this needs to be called out. just dont pay for this type of nonsense that PBC puts on most of their cards - its the only way we will ever get the best matchups in boxing....

If you like boxing , i don't see how you can not be a Tank fan. He puts on good fights.

So true, when you look at the crowd, it’s a bunch of upper class white folks attending, cheering his thug ass on.

I remember that fight, had it been 4 years already? I remember a lot of folk back home were picking Walsh to beat tank. What’s Walsh up to these days?

Lot of posters resent that Tank is successful. They really hate that fans tune in to watch fights these same posters say is trash or horrible.

Tank, despite not fighting opponents posters want, is bringing new fans to the sport and selling well in areas like Atlanta and Maryland that aren’t typical boxing hotbeds.

He gives fans exciting fights with action and a definitive finish against solid but not spectacular opponents. These kind of wins make stars out of non Americans on this site. Why should it be different for Tank?

His next fight is on a Sunday, a day fight fans don’t usually see fights anymore. Could bring new eyes by doing this. All I see from diehard fans is they aren’t going to watch.

Imagine how much better the sport would be if diehard fans found the positives rather than always harping on the negatives?

Have any if you ever realized you make it easy for his team to promote him with all of this irrational childlike hate?

Bro there is enough illegal Mejicanos in Cali alone to hit those number..Mexicans will see one of their own against a chimpanzees and claim its an excellent step up for the brethren...tank is not doing bad with numbers..

Don’t be salty because illegals can afford ppvs while the so called “ballers” from the hood can barely make ends meet lol
