How much does Shakur deserve in a Tank fight on a PBC card?

[brettWall]

All this comments about money being offered by TR is nonsense if you can't have an estimate of what he deserves in a TDavis fight.

TR is offering him 5 fights for $3 million guarantee each. (I doubt broadcasters are making a killing on PPV these days, so talk of upsides are basically immaterial.)

So what's your guess? Why talk about he's being lowballed when you can't even make any estimate of what PBC is willing to offer him.

Shakur is not ready for Davis. Davis will batter him like he did Martin. If Shakur wants that fight, it is a cash out fight. Shakur needs to be able to hit hard enough to keep Tank off of him, at this stage? he will be dropped and then will not be able to get a fight with anyone but Haney. That would be decent! Instead of for the face of boxing the fight would be for the other opening where the food comes out.

Who is there for him that would offer a paycheck of $3 million per fight?
Haney is out the question. Size difference is too much. I doubt he would even make it at 140 when he comes back.

He fights nothing like Martin. Light years ahead of Martin. If you think Tank wins, fine. You free to that of course. But at least accurately portray Shakur's actual style of fighting. That range and defense are definitely advantages he has over anyone and especially Davis with him being shorter with shorter arms. And Shakur is a better technical boxer than Tank and that isn't a knock on Tank because he damn good in his own right and he had game changing power.

I’d have to agree
The only question I have is will Shakur’s chin hold up to Tank’s power
That might be the game changer right there
My thinking is Tank catches him towards the end of the fight when Shakur has tired some
Guess we’ll find out once they fight if they fight

Would $5 million be enough? How about $10 mil?
In any case, I couldn't care less. It's not my money.
But it's got to be more than $3 mil.

I would say 70/30 Tank. Maybe 65/35 if you factor in the unification aspect of the fight.

Yeah we have to see how he will react to getting hit but he's done a damn good job of not letting anyone hit him. LMAO. His defense is high level ****, man.

How will Tank deal with a fighter that's a better boxer than him with a longer reach and distance control?


Questions for both guys IMHO but I will say it's gotten a bit out of hand with talking about the styles.

The conversation has just turned in to "TANK TANK TANK, POWER, POWER, POWER!" And it's like if you like Tank to win that's fine but at least take in account the styles. Seeing people compare Kur to Tank's last few opponents is nuts but I can't wait for it to happen. A lot of conversations will be revisited.

That’s exactly what I say that Shakur gets caught late in the fight because of his hit don’t get hit
I just believe that the sweet science will prevail and it’ll be late in the game
One shot gotta come through for Tank the same way he gonna miss a bunch

“DESERVE GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Tank has ONE belt and he’s been in that weight class for what? at least 5 fkn years! When is he going to fight for another belt instead of continuing to fight nobodies that have no belts????????!!
