    As a fan of Loma's skills, I agree. Loma waited too long to start his career. There is the chance that he still unifies now that Huggy has moved up and the belts that Loma already won are open again. But the timing of Loma's career and the current state of the sport mean Loma will never be a superstar.

    Davis on his own draws 200k. Loma fighting him would draw some casuals, I'd say that fight does around 500k.
    Lomachenko is not a big PPV draw. He's not bringing in anywhere near 500,000 in a Tank fight. No way.

      It's a big fight but not nearly the biggest fight in boxing. It's just the biggest fight involving Haney. Hopefully they will make it next if he gets past Regis which is no small task. I like The Rougarous chances to crack Devins chin.

        all roads lead to tank, i dont hear tank saying these fights will be the biggest in boxing tho, is it all wishful thinking on their parts?

        tank is the puppet master, he says jump they all squeak, 'how high?'

          If boring ass Haney wants Tank, it will be under Tank`s terms. casuals love Tank. Who enjoys watching Haney?
          Haney just sold over 16k tickets in California.

          Barrios, putbull, hector, rollie or no other tank opponent is doing that.

          Tank is out of excuses

            Slight hyperbole but who cares? They're among the biggest fights in boxing and who doesn't want to see them? Beside angry edgelords like Theshotyoudontsee of course.

                Dude that hurts. I am nihilistic and I enjoy hyperbole. But I prefer realist rather than edgelord.

                Just my opinions though, as I always say. If a person doesn't agree, I may debate the point. But it ain't personal. Sorry if I offended.

                  Okay. You may not like his fighting style or think he beat Loma, but when it comes to opponent selection and willingness to make fights he's been one of the standout guys for a few years now. Not many young American boxers go abroad to make big fights.

                    No fight involving Haney is the biggest fight in boxing. Tank's proven pull is 250K tops anyways. The only way it's a "biggest fight in boxing" is if we're talking about how much money the promoters lose on the fight, and this still loses out to Haney v Shakur for worst fight in boxing.

                    Rolly v Ryan outsells Haney v Tank all day long.

                      Been saying since I first saw him, if he would just learn to sit down on a punch, he has skills. I don't get guys with a high skill level who refuse to throw hard punches. I get being cautious, but it is hard to get excited at clinching and winning a UD. It is confusing. Haney is obviously a strong guy. Floyd catches hell for his style, but especially at the lower weights, he was hurting and stopping guys.
