    You want to see Tank in bigger fights then either he or his opponents have to take less money. Because Floyd has made it clear he’s not willing to lose money by overpaying these dudes.

      Or maybe work in some cross-promotional deal? Kind of like when the PBC worked with Top Rank for Tyson Fury and Wilder. I get the money thing. But if Tank fights a name opponent on PVP, the money will be there. Tank vs Loma is almost on the level of Crawford vs Spence. The money will be there.

        Wilder and Fury were both more popular than Tank and Haney. And TR and PBC still lost money on both of those fights. After the Barrios fight when Floyd was saying you fighters have to take less money he was talking about Haney specifically. And Floyd loves Haney. He grew up in his gym and he’s known him his whole life.

        The man asked for 5 million to fight Loma. Is that realistic? He was with Hearn then and times were different but what’s he going to take. He took the Kambosos fight on the cheap for something like little over a million if I remember correctly (but I could be wrong). If he’s willing to take that again I think they would make the fight tomorrow.

          Oh yeah. That's right. You're very right man. And that's kind of a wider problem with boxing right now, which is that most of these boxers are being overpaid. I think they should get as much as they can, but how much is enough? Yeah. That five million was a duck, in my point of view. Sometimes I have a feeling that Tanks split is something obscene, to the point where it's offensive to the opponent. I don't like how Mayweather is moving Tank, so I guess it will be up to Tank to really push for the fights. I think he's getting a lot of pushback from the Devin Haney crowd. Haney's fans are something else. I don't think he has as many as Tank, but they seem to be louder for some reason.

            What's with him saying how he always wants to create 'legacy' - and it ain't about the money...

            Yet he isn't fighting anyone worthy of his caliber... boxing politics.

              Floyd does love haney, but he loves money more.

              easy fix .

              1. Stage the fight in las vegas and pay tank 7 mill, and haney 5 mill.

              up the price of the ppv 99$ and have a legit 2 prospects fight to become contendors in any division .

              people will buy it .

              2. Stage the fight in saudi Arabia and get the saudis to pay up . They love throwing money around.

              you can tank 10 mill there and haney 6 mill and floyd can pocket a huge amount in a deal with the saudis for himself

              do it

                Doesn’t matter where the fight is Haney’s not worth 5 million. And they’ll never stay in business overpaying guys like that.

                  That’s why I always support the fighters I like. I order the PPV’s, even though I don’t want to sometimes, and can probably watch them for free. That’s the only way we are going to get the fights we want to see.

                    I don't really follow what Tank says. If he said that he's talking out of his @ss because his actions don't reflect that.
