    Theory on why Tank is on the shelf

    Tank Davis hasn't fought in half a year and has no fight scheduled after just dodging Devin Haney. Tank's advocates hype his drawing numbers as the face of boxing but the truth is he is not a massive draw. For if he was, they would be milking Tank with one or two fights after his last win vs Garcia. Many believe it was Garcia's attraction power that was the primary reason for the Tank vs Garcia fight doing big business. Floyd and Haymon seem to believe that as well, as they are hesitating to schedule a fight for Tank, a rematch with Isaac Cruz or some other patsy. Tank has been silent for months, other than just ducking Haney. It's Ryan Garcia who is the true A side, Tank is the B plus. Is that the reason why Floyd and Haymon are wooing Garcia to ditch Golden Boy and join them? Garcia vs Tank 2 could go even bigger than 1. Tank vs Cruz could be a disaster flop.

      Hilarious.

      Tank does massive numbers fighting bums. Which is why they always have him fighting bums.

      Tank doesn't have a fight scheduled because no PBC fighters have a fight scheduled.

          The Ryan fight was lucrative and he will look for these type of low risk high reward fights going forward. He doesn’t care about legacy, titles, or fighting the best. He wants big pay days fighting hype jobs. There isn’t an easy mark available at the moment. No one he can drag up or down two weight classes, no big name well past their prime, no popular YouTubers or influencers in his weight class, no big MMA names he can fight with a 0-0 pro boxing record. So he’ll just coast along and wait for the next cherry pick. Unless of course he runs into more legal troubles and needs money for attorneys and payoffs.

            He has to come up with better names. I won't mind him fighting Frank Martin or Edwin De Los Santos. Who else is there for him in the PBC island?

                That's bs what massive numbers has he done? The only massive numbers fighting a bum was cryan and before that was his first fight in panty Cruz which did 300k. They didn't even release his numbers leading up to the cryan fight

                  The fault that he fights below average fighters is cause his fans swallow everything they hear
                  He needed Ryan to actually make his biggest pay , gate or ppv
                  I can’t blame him though avoiding the other fugh Haney who rehydrates to a super middleweight
                  He’s made big money already and if he’s out he really is a fughin fool
