Comments Thread For: Hearn Plans to 'Aggressively' Pursue Gervonta Davis Once Contract is Up

Or maybe work with Oscar and GBP for 3 fights on DAZN: JoJo, Zepeda, and Ryan. That's 2 years to assess your future options. Steer clear of Hearn.

I see many people talking about the rift between Gervonta and Floyd. As maybe one of the biggest Davis fans on NSB, and a former huge Floyd fan, I don't think Davis needs to leave Mayweather Promotions, period. Not at least for not matching him up right.

Floyd and team literally invested a lot in Davis, it doesn't always have to be about money. Moneywise, he's OK, too. Loma made 750k total in his last fight, some say 250k. I'm a Loma fan too. He's my top 2 at lightweight. Davis makes more.

I think he's the most well paid current lightweight. He can be more assertive going forward if he wants a precise fight. I look around and don't see who he is avoiding. I like the Loma fight, even Loma knows that from reading my posts on NSB.

Stick with Floyd. I'd take 5mil per fight from Floyd than 15mil from Hearn.

Don't burn this bridge.

[People talking about Haymon. Haymon can't screw Floyd. Davis is a Floyd fighter. Al can give a laid back advice and that's it. Floyd is a major PBC investor, but even if Davis leaves his promotion, I don't see Floyd sabotaging a Davis fight on Showtime.]

Gervonta can work with Hearn if Hearn has anything worthy, not just a big check. Hearn won't be needed for a Davis-Haney fight.

Been saying that it for years, boxers should stay free agents & work with all the promoters/networks. No long term deals with all these extensions. Take the best fights when you want to.

if more guys would follow suit, promoters & networks bend. You can keep good relationships without spending your entire career tied to the same people. We need to shred this narrative that a boxer has to stay “loyal” to the same promoter/networks while also alienating themselves from others. That way of think has done nothing but fueled division & added to the Cold War in boxing & stagnated the sports growth as a whole

So Joshua shouldn’t have stayed loyal to Hearn?

Tank should take the canelo path negotiate 1 or 2 fight deal thing is he probably not experienced enough yet business wise and still under al haymon influence but he definitely can do very well being free agent

Gervonta should promote self with the assistance of others and continue to work with Al Haymon, but if you're not happy you should move on and hopefully things will be better.

Floyd definitely owns major shares in pbc.

It doesn't matter whether or not Floyd is a major shareholder in the PBC or not. However, the fact of the matter is, it's still Al's company. He is the majority shareholder and since he's still the majority shareholder of the PBC; Gervonta Davis isn't going no damn where and neither is Adrien Broner. Least of all to Matchroom, Eddie Hearn and DAZN

We can look for Tank v a bunch scrubs if Eddy gets his way, like Benn. Eddy has to get paid and losing doesn't pay. He'll low ball, rematch, many option, confidentiality clause, any threats aside, and put Tank in with grandpa.

Professionals maneuver behind closed doors.

[sicko]

this again with Eddie?

don't get me wrong if Tank is available it is smart business to pursue him of course BUT Tank not going anywhere he will just do his own GTD Promotions while remaining with PBC and Showtime. I think he should float around like Canelo and work fight by fight leaving his options open

stop listening to the Idiots on youtube they just last week all made asses out of themselves taking Spence tweet and saying that he was leaving PBC too in which Spence had to address the clickbaiting idiots yet they wonder why they can't get credentials
