Gervonta calls out Benn

Not to mention I think Eddie & Conor himself are looking to cashout with a big fight now with the lost time & seemingly declining power post-PED situation.Comment

If boxing was a sport first I'd agree with you. Thing is boxing is a business first so your value isn't necessarily based on how good or deserving you are of a big fight. Its based on how many asses for seats you bring, how many eyes on the screen you bring & how many dollars from fans for PPVs you bring. And Conor has solid upside as a potential next opp for that reason.

H’s never really been a big draw or am I mistaken
Then again anything sells well in the UKComment

Either way, no one was asking for no DLH rematch
This has Ellerbe and Co. written all over itComment

I totally agree that it don’t make much sense
Unfortunately for Tank , he’s always been the guy who’s told what to do and what to say cause every time he’s done something on his own he’s had to cancel his tweet or own up to it
I for one would not give him credit fighting Conor fughin Benn
If he is going over the pond for a fight , I’m sure he can get someone much more worthy than Benn hence Haney who is sleeping with Slow Eddie

Its crazy because I think Tank stops Haney. I have no clue why he's ducking himComment

One way I can’t blame him for the Haney fight cause he comes in weighing a super middleweight
But I can blame him for chit like this , him calling out BennComment

And look I got near 0 interest in this fight & I hate how Team Tank moves business-wise 90% of the time, but I can't think of many Tank opp fights that do as good at the gate as this one. I'd rather see Teo, Shakur or Devin across the ring from Tank, but none of those guys are doing great numbers. Teo is always bragging about his sh^t & hes probably the biggest draw of those 3 but idk that hes bringing more fans than Conor in the UK.
This, like most sh^t Tank does, is business over the sport. And to some extent being objective, aka not a fan thinking about it, it makes sense. Can't eat or pay the bills with legacy as they say.Last edited by Eff Pandas; 02-04-2024, 09:48 PM.Comment

Honestly idk that Conor needs to do much work vs Tank. I think UK fans will show up for Tank & more UK fans will show up cuz a UK bad mfers son is fighting him. UK audiences are definitely loyal to a fault one could argue.

They’d probably show up in droves to see a UK guy beat Tank even if the chances would be slimComment
