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

[Oldskoolg]

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?

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.

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.

Davis leaving Unless they offering 50m plus doubt it for anyone below 147. His best bet is to sign with hearn on a deal to deal bases similar to canelo simply cause hearn seems easiest to work with

I like Matchroom they good operators, Tank is ready to break out into the really big fights so the timing is right for Hearn to cash in on him.

What are the big fights Matchroom has for him? I've been hearing of a guy called Hughes something. One thing, tho, I think Hearn can make the Loma fight, with his deep pockets. So can Oscar and so can Floyd.

Mayweather Promotions needs a good matchmaker.

The problem for Hearn is that he has no creditability in the US. He's not cashing in on anything.

If tank signs with young Edward than he too can experience fighting in total obscurity

If Hearn can’t get him the fights he wants then no.

So because he wasn’t able to deliver Wilder….
