Some of you guys just love watching your favorites fighting easy fights.
    He already skipped 108 lol. Who's being emotional? I'm saying it's unrealistic to expect someone who went 108, 115, 118, 122 to jump to 130 next year just because people want to see him get beat by Tank

    You say "some of you love watching your favorites fighting easy fights" while at the same time demanding someone jump multiple divisions to fight Tank Davis instead of Tank fighting guys in his OWN FKING DIVISION, or fighting Haney or really fighting anyone who might beat him.


    Tank/Shakur? Nah
    Tank/Haney? Nah
    Tank/Muratella? Nah
    Tank/Loma? Nah
    Tank/Zepeda? Nah
    Tank/Cruz 2? Nah

    Tank/Super Bantamweight Champion? There it is.

        Imagine asking Canelo to lose weight for a CW fight with Crawford .

        Come on man.
        Aside from Tank/Garcia, do you actually think Tank is a bigger earner than Inoue?

            Yes. Tank sells here. I think it’s significantly tougher to sell out arenas like he has. This is also without having fought another major ticket seller other than Ryan.

              How is it tougher? Because there's less fans here? Because, true. Boxing is on life support.

              Tank def sells here, I'm just asking if you think he's a bigger earner aside from the Ryan fight than Inoue who's also packing stadiums also fighting non ticket sellers (Paul Butler for example)

              I don't know what Tank's purses/earnings have been like aside from the Ryan fight. Not trying to start ****, legit curious.

                  Inoue is a very small guy...5' 5" with very short arms and thin. He's already fighting at his limit weight class and just moved up to it.

                    No problem.

                    Fan diversity. More sporting options. Boxing not occupying the space it used to.

                    Davis’ past Showtime PPV events Ryan Garcia – 1.2 million buys Hector Garcia – 220,000 Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero – 275,000 Mario Barrios – 210,000 Leo Santa Cruz – 225,000

                    The only point to Tank v Inoue imo is to increase Inoue’s American profile to see if he can become a Manny level star here in America.
