Comments Thread For: Mayweather: They Don't Wanna See Tank Win Because They Feel Like It's Beatin' Me

[Saborconclave]

Mayweather has his head so far up his a##, can't see nothing but himself. Put Tank in there with contenders already and stop the BS if PPV is Tanks only platform!

Creating the idea that there is an obstacle force against you is good for concentration and commaradrie. This delusion may also engender favor from his fans. This latent nationalism is a tired game. Partitioning all critique as unwarranted and due to a personal and racial bias is also exhausting. The benefits may be to deter criticism and continue fighting people on the margins. Either way I enjoy watching Tank on free streams

This is the same reason he won’t step up Tanks competition also because he feels it will reflect on him like he lost. This mans ego is out of control fr.

Floyd always needs to make it about Floyd, it's a compulsion. He really understands promotion but just can't step back out of that limelight, he always circles back to Floyd...

LSC was old, shot and above his weight limit. Barrios, yes is a B-level fighter. Same as Cruz.

PBC is Protecting Black Champions. They don't want to risk 50k (Tank's new name from now on). They keep feeding 50K these B- C-level Latino opponents trying to replicate the Gayweather formula. 50K is 27 years old and his resume is abysmal. 50K has Haney, Kambosos, and Loma in that division and they choose to fight B-level opposition or continue to mention Garcia's name, whom everyone is agreement would be the easiest win out of all the other lightweight "Kings".

Why go after weak opposition? When is he going to step it up? There's a reason he sold 50K PPVs, PBC and Fraud are holding him back. They are desperately trying to replicate Mayweather v.2.0, (cherrypick Latino opposition, wear Mexican colors, hope to get that Latino viewership, beat up on women). When in reality they're getting Berto v.3.0 (Broner was Beto v2.0 incase you're wondering).

I have no problem with your criticism, as long as you keep the same energy consistently across the board! If LSC was old and shot, so was Salido when Loma fought him! If Barrios was B-Level, then so was Commey, but Loma fought him anyway, instead of Haney! If Tank was cherry-picking Barrios at 140, what was Canelo vs. Kovalev? If Ryan Garcia is a weak choice, then he was weak when Arum said he wanted Loma vs. Garcia, instead of Haney! Now that I see you put Kambo on the list, don't switch up if Tank fights him! Don't call Haney "feather-fisted and untested" if Tank fights him! I don't like to see African-American fighters in Mexican colors, and Sombreros! Not a good look! I don't like Men beating up women, nor do I like Mexican Champions dressing up like women either! I want Tank to fight Prograis, GRJ, Colbert, and Haney! I'm tired of seeing him whoop up on Mexicans! I understand it's about the bag, but I think he can get the bag fighting Black fighters too! This just doesn't go just for Tank either! Spence, we don't (and they don't) wanna see you put hands on Vergil Ortiz Jr.! We wants Crawford and Boots! Charlo, stop talking about Canelo and GGG, and fight Andrade! Prograis, don't chase Ramirez, chase Tank! Shakur, leave Valdez alone! Unify with Colbert, if he beats Gutierrez! Let's get the bag, but keep it in the family...if possible!

His fans don't care if he fights any big names, the rest of us do though. We don't wanna hear about how good he is if he isn't fighting top guys in the divisions he wants to fight at. Picking and choosing easy fights then telling us you're the best in a division doesn't go over well with fans.

I don't blame Tank, he seems like a decent kid but Floyd been wasting our time with these fights

I do too actually - Im a lomachenko fan, but as a person I like Tank more than the rest of the kids including Kambosos and Haney.

Im also respectful of others desires - you wanna fight B level fighters, good for you, honestly dont care - great fights happening all the time, Im not going to cry over the ones that arent.

But its clear to me you're not #1 in LW, nor #2 nor #3. If Mayweather doesnt think you can beat these guys, I dont think so too.

Yes, Floyd always makes it about Floyd. It's a bit sad for Gervonta really

Let's see TMT put that money where their mouth appears to be, show done confidence in Davis, and make offers to the other top fighters at 135.

Poor Mayweather, he will go down in his insecurities

You cannot compare Loma's opposition vs Tank's. Pedraza might be Tank's best win or second best while Pedraza is barely in Loma's top 10 best wins.and this with Loma only having 18 fights.

LSC was a career batamweight, Tank just had to outpower him.
Salido was Loma second pro fight, fighting Salido in a second pro fight was a much more brave, Steel balls move than cherry picking skinny Lil LSC.

You guys bashing Loma for failing sometimes while taking risks and protecting cherry pickers like Tank. Tank and his promoter Floyd being cherry pickers is not even debatable at this point. That is what is wrong with boxing, so called fans defending this puss moves. Floyd has morons paying PPV for interim belt fights. Why would he risk his cash cow?

Commey was ranked higher at 135 than Cruz on Boxrec or ring by the way...

The problem is not about Tank fighting mexicans or blacks it's about fighting the bests, the.best ranked guys.

[BustedKnuckles]

It's always about you floyd.

If you would have allowed tank to wear the no boxing no life gloves he would have had a better fight, keep that in mind.

I opened the thread just to say this, but you already said it. With Floyd, everything always comes back to Floyd. Like that saying, "all roads lead to Rome", but for him it's "All conversations lead to Floyd."

It does seem like Tank should just do his own thing now. If not now, then when? But it's all about what his goals are.
