Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis And Frank Martin On Course For WBA Lightweight Title Fight

[dan-b]

Shakur only has one fight left on his contract with TR! Let's hope we get Tank vs. Stevenson later this year!!!

Davis will have already had his annual fight by later this year.

[MulaKO]

Agreed. But we're an efinite
out to venture into unknown territory so we could both be right or wrong. We don't know what Tank and Ryan will do without each other now but we're about to find out. Dazn doesn't have the best record whennit comes to PPVs and if this were on American PPV (show/Hbo) it should do really well because both are well known commodities in the boxing world. Amazon is brand new to this so we don't know if the power of Jeff Bezos can push this to unforseen numbers or was boxing a bad deal for them to get into. Only time will tell!

I just hope uncle Al starts playing with others so we can get good fights
Ryan vs Haney imo won’t do good numbers as many are not intrigued by Haney and his style
My thinking is Rolly would of made a ton of money if he fought Ryan , with all the trash talk etc etc
But yes time will tell and surely this Ryan gimmick won’t last forever

Agree wholeheartedly, and Michel Rivera was no slouch either! Martin is legit! I saw him drop, and beat Vergil Ortiz Jr. at 141 in the amateurs! This will probably be a more difficult fight for Tank than Ryan Garcia was!

Martin, despite being a very solid amateur, is probably underrated bc of his low-profile due to coming onto the big scene a bit late. But he has stepped up quickly since his win over Duno and has improved everytime out since. Davis is something far different than anybody he's fought, but Martin has all the tools to make it a very difficult fight for Davis and possibly upset him. Really hope this one comes off just bc of the fact that neither guy has seen somebody like the other. Only time will tell.

Well it's not a teeny tiny opponent or a drained(we will see terms) opponent. Tank going for his 3rd legit win over a top 10 opponent in 7 and a half years. low standards

He looked pretty bad in his last fight and barely won when he was a 12 to 1 favorite. I would say he has plateaued. Jackson marinez fight wasn't too great either.

Just bc the fight wasn't great doesn't mean he was doing bad. Styles make fights. Marinez' physical dimensions are always gonna be a problem for guys at LW(arguably beat Romero even tho I know people don't think much of him) and I made my statement of Harutyunyan earlier so I'll skip that. Both those guys have styles that are tough to deal with, but he made adjustments and came thru when it mattered in both fights. He's gonna hafta really bring his level up if he gets in there with Davis. Can't have the lapses he had at certain points in those fights here or he might really pay for it.

Glad to see you're one if those deluded Muppets that believe out of the 1.4 mill PPV sold in the Tank vs Ryan fight Tank was only responsible for 200k a d Ryan accounted for 1.2 mill. So when Ryan vs Devin fights on PPV (which you will be stealing) I expect you to be front and center when they release those numbers ok pumpkin!

I don't remember saying that can you quote me? i'm saying it was due to the match up nothing to do with only being tank therefore to expect 40 million a fight to fight nobodies is absolutely ****** look at Tanks ppv record it speaks for itself. This is why Davis refuses to fight better competition because his fans are as ****** as he is and eat up the bull****.

Has it been explicitly stated that Haney/Garcia is on PPV?

That’s what I read Dazn ppv

I feel like that's a mistake. DAZN would benefit more from keeping it on regular DAZN. Haney just had a PPV.
