Comments Thread For: Arum on Tank-Stevenson: To Put Tremendous Guarantees To Make a Couple of Dollars - Why Do It?

[Amir Imam]

Arum can’t get Fury-Usyk done. Inoue-Fulton was made without him now he’s admitting to ruining another fight between Shakur and Tank.

That is NOT what I wanted hear Bob!!! Here we go again, Spence vs. Crawford 2.0!!!

People need to stop trying to force Stevenson down our throat. This kid is gonna get beat and people are gonna cry he was too green. Let him actually fight some warm bodies first.

Facts. Been saying the same thing. Still cant see one fighter that he has beaten that now made him the best 135 lber. Jamaine Ortiz is willing to take that fight but he went to Nakatani instead. That fight would be a good assessment.

In other words, I can make in house fight and collect all the marbles. Why share it?

[Raimondo]

Shak would've to win all the titles, leave somehow TR and then go on PBC to have a tiny chance to get Tank. lol

But yeah, business-wise it doesn't make sense bc Shak is a high risk low reward type of fighter and Bob ain't gonna risk big money to get the interest of PBC and Tank for this fight.

Bob's right. These two only appeal to the ******. Can't buy PPV with EBT.

I've been at PPV parties in the ****** (west side of Chicago). They charge everybody $5 and charge for drinks. They end up making money.

We don't know what guarantees each guy would want, Arum clouding the issue with that. Let's be honest, it's specifically Stevenson who isn't enough of a name to make that into a big PPV fight. Tank is popular enough, he just had the biggest fight of the year so far. Tank will want things in his favour. Network, financial split, maybe unwilling to do a co-promotional considering how much more he brings to the table. Arum isn't going to accept any of that.

Wait to see tanks numbers after his next fight of he's back to 200-300k ppv or even 300-400k and showing it was Ryan Garcia folks who bought the other 800k buys then offer tank 5m base plus Shakur such . If tank next fight brings above 500k then offer tank 10m Shakur 5m. Shakur beats tank if the right is made after a yr once Shakur is accustomed to 135 at high level. Anything before then tank has the slight edge

Garcia, and two networks working together always boosts sales also.
