Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Won't Fight The Lightweights We Want Most Until Purse Demands Are Realistic

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

"Lopez’s loss served as a dramatic reminder of why they fight the fights and why we shouldn’t simply discount Cruz’s chances of pulling off another upset." So THAT'S why the PPV price is the same as if Tank were fighting Rolly!

Cruz is another b-level brawler with average power and no-defense - has ONE ko in his last 5. Kambooses actually had boxing skills and good boxing IQ. With Cruz being smaller than Davis - this is even a bigger blatant mismatch than the Barrios fight.

This is pretty much what this Tank thing comes down to. Least this scumbag admits it.

Posters that hate black people are very upset that Tank works for a black owned company that is successful. They also hate it that the black owned company is marketing Tank to fans that don’t hate black people.

What really bothers this poster, who is Asian and supported Manny, is that black fans support boxers that are black.

Black fans are the only fans on nsb criticized for watching or being fans of boxers that look like them. Mexican, white, Asian, Puerto Rican , etc never face the same hate and vitriol when they do same.

why?

Notice this poster lied about what pbc had done for the sport and calls the black men that own the company crooks.

Tank could fight and defeat every great LW in their primes and posters like this will always be critical because they hate black people and hate to see them be successful.

You are such a f**cking f**ggot. Jesus Christ. Writing out essays about your endless need to eat black ass on Boxing Scene. Get a f**cking life.

It's hard to take "Tank" as a legit ticket seller when this fight is selling on Groupon at massive discounts to get fans to show up that's an indictment on what he really is
a paper champion with paper crowds!!

Thank you. I couldn't have said it any better. That's why I don't address those people anymore.

Nobody has to buy it or even watch the fight. Don't be on here on fight night begging for ******s either.

Dude why do you and others care so much about how Tank is marketed?

Do you write James Dolan or get annoyed anytime someone says Madison Square Garden is the world’s greatest arena? Of course not.

Please help me understand why you or anyone would expect Tank to be marketed differently ?

I care as much about Tank as I do any other boxer. What I'm saying is that how he's being marketed is simply not true. Tank brings it on himself when he says dumb **** like "Canelo is me at lightweight—facts." I mean that's just ******ed. It's delusional. When has Tank unified a division? When has Tank actually fought for a world title at another division? (A real world title!) It's this delusional rhetoric from Tank and Mayweather that I criticize. I obviously think Tank is a fantastic boxer, which is why it's frustrating watching him constantly fight B-level opposition. More so with the crazy talk.

And it has nothing to do with race either. Maybe for a few people on this forum, no doubt. But it seems that nobody can talk about any fighter without people assuming it's based on prejudice.

What I find is interesting is that the race card is played whenever someone talks about or criticizes a PBC fighter. If I praise Crawford, I'm a PBC hater. If I talk about Keyshawn Davis being a next pound for pound fighter in a years time, than I'm biased. If I say something good about Lomachenko, then I'm biased. If I say something good about Chocolatito, then I'm biased. It's a lose lose thing on these forums.

I don't like how the PBC roll because it hurts boxing when you don't try to cooperate. Haymon won't even take Hearns phone calls. It's that type of attitude and policy that is keeping boxing from being where it should be.

They won't fight the guys they want until the purses are realistic? And which guys is it they want exactly? Who have they called out? Who have they tried to negotiate anything with?

Didn't Floyd say they had no interest in straying out of in house fights? No offence but this little team of Tank Leonard and Floyd are out to stay on easy Street and any talk like this is just deflection from criticism of them doing exactly what they have already admitted they are doing.

It don't bother me what they do, they are just team turd to me, I'm a fan of the sport and these guys are not competing in the sport in its normal way, they are operating outside of the game and are only in it for the money. But I can see why it bothers alot of Boxing fans, especially when these goons try to pretend they are operating in the normal way.

And of course anything about Floyd or Tank will bring the pro PBC race baiters. These guys are funny. I've seen them accusing black ppl of being racist against black ppl cuz they don't fall in line with their own views and don't realise they talking to black guys. Fkking idiots.

F-ck Davis! He aint serious about challenging for the top spot.

[edgarg]

Anything that Mayweather has a finger in, is very dubious , and that's an understatement. We've had years and years of cherry-picking , avoiding, "retirements" )until a real threat has gone) and so forth.

The only time I've seen Davis is his pathetic attempt against the one legged, Gamboa, who was smaller, 13 years older far past his best, (ankle injured in rd 2) and fighting above his natural weight. Took 12 rounds as I recall, of the dreariest exhibition of "pugilistic expertise" that we hear from Mayweather (and his corner boy Ellerbe) . Sounds almost as egotistic as "The professor of Pugilism" East London's Lennox "Gentleman" (???) Lewis himself.

I am convinced that adult illiteracy, promotes a vast inferiority complex which results outwardly in an overweening pride in accomplishment and derogatory remarks about everyone else. (as well as aggressive behaviour towards physically weaker women)
