Comments Thread For: Vasiliy Lomachenko to 'step aside' so Gervonta Davis can fight Shakur Stevenson

[boxingitis]

Will he pretend to fight a war this time? Or maybe showboat on someone who lost night? Lol

If he didn't go to war he would have easily beaten Kambosos for the belts. He would have been undisputed.

You know, I somehow just don’t see it happening. I just don’t see how it makes business sense for Tank, on a 50/50 chance of winning, unless Shakur is prepared to take 20 percent of the purse (who knows, maybe he is). The fight itself is more appealing than Tank-Martin, but would they be able to do a Benavidez undercard?

Hold up! So because Tank has a 50/50 chance of winning, it does not make business sense BUT BUT if Shakur accepts 20% of the purse then that’s ok because if Tank gets beat, he at least gets paid 80% of the purse.
You are acknowledging that Tank can get beat but to feel good about it, he has to price himself out of the fight by offering Shakur 20%.

I’m not criticizing you. This is the reality of boxing. Guys like Tank and Canelo are literally ducking heavy smoke by asking for astronomical purse.

This will never work because Tank isn't fighting Shakur until the end of his career.

If only people in the hood watch, it will be low budget. You need other races to watch if you want a big event.

Benavidez and probably Issac Cruz on card for sure…Tank v Stevenson is nothing to get excited about for Hispanic fans or casuals. Same for Tank v Martin..Davis a ppv draw but not so much if there is not a Hispanic fighter in the opposite corner. Hence the absolute need for a big name Hispanic fighter on the card.

Good, let Shakur put his big talk on the line. Loma can fight the winner. It will be a bigger fight.

[ShoulderRoll]

So Lomachenko swerved Shakur Stevenson for Kambosos and now is going to “step aside” from fighting Tank?

[BigZ44]

Well if that's the case, Loma better take the other belt off his countryman so we can get a full unification. Friends or not, lay waste to Berinchyk to help build this up

I don’t think it happens but would the obvious thing to do
Making Loma vs the winner even bigger
