Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson's co-manager: 'Tank' Davis fight is a phone call away

they ain't fighting. Tank doing pit bull rematch

[tomhawq]

Weren't you the one joyfully spreading the news that Shakur is leaving Arum? What happened to that enthusiasm now? And where did you get this idea that Tank is fighting Pitbull? It all started from you in this thread. Where is the link that says Tank's team is waiting for Pitbull? Or this is just a hoax to help Wahid move the ball away from his court.

Yeah, he hates seeing his brothas Shakur, Devin and others not residing in the PBC island even when he knew PBC has nothing to offer them despite now being free agents. It pains him when his brotha Tank is being pressured to make a move on the Shakur issue and thus had to come up with something like "he's waiting for Pitbull" doe.

His real feeling is he wants to see Shakur vs Tank get made. Plain and simple. That's the fight he was hinting when he was spreading the news that Stevenson is leaving Arum. But we're now here and Tank is still not making any move. Fans are waiting and they're getting angry. So he had to come up with something (as if he's a member of Tank's team) to allay the pressure.

And who would have thought Pitbull's name would be resurrected when all we've heard about the rematch in the past months or year, were objections from all quarters, which most likely included him, and the last I read was Tank himself being irritated by Cruz constantly mentioning his name. I'm absolutely sure that rematch is not happening any time soon. For one, which I've already mentioned, Pitbull had to take at least 3 months of rest, longer for others. The poster wants us to believe fight would be ready in no time. (Who cares about Pitbull's well-being, he doesn't need long vacation. He'll be ready. Don't worry.)
It's absolutely ridiculous to see a fighter waiting for someone with a fight scheduled, let alone, suggested by fans. Lots of things can change or could come up in just a week, let alone months. Recent shining examples were Bud and Spence supposedly looking at the Tszyu vs Fundora winner. What happened? The present picture is unrecognizable from what was being projected a few months ago.

I am happy for Shakur, that he left Top Rank! When Loma and Navarrette are both with Top Rank, and you can only get consecutive fights with Edwin De Los Santos, and Artem Harutuynyan, then it's time to go! Tank was negotiating with TR for Loma, Loma swerved him! So now Tank's best options are Shakur, Pitbull, and Zepeda! Zepeda had a great performance, Shakur had another lackluster victory, and Pitbull fights next Saturday, August 3rd. My "idea" is that Tank should wait to see how Pitbull performs, before making a decision! If Pitbull shines, especially with a KO, I think Tank should go with him, because Pitbull is an IBF Champion, large fanbase, and people are saying Tank is ducking the Pitbull rematch, because Tank went the distance, and Pitbull didn't have a full camp! Add to that PITBULL IS PBC! If Pitbull also has another lackluster fight, like the Cabrera fight, then no bueno! Zepeda is good to0, but doesn't have a belt, and Oscar will want a co-promo with DAZN, etc.! Shakur would be a great choice too, but he already sounds like he's going to overprice his value! I would love to see Tank vs. Shakur, but Shakur can't come in talking crazy, and he's done a lot of that since his last fight!

Oh man, you don't really need these justifications. You even included Zepeda, which is oceans away from Tank's mind. All you need to do is wait for his team what they would come up with. You're too desperate in having to supply justifications on Tank's inaction. Who knows, it may not even be about anything to do with choice of fight, but the way to go about dealing with the situation like funding, syncing and waiting for uncle Al's input, etc. But if you truly want to see the Pitbull rematch as a fan, and not a PBC propagandist, then I'd be happy to go along with you on that. Let's look forward to seeing Pitbull vs Tank 2 then.

I don't know WTF you're talking about? I don't know what Tank's teams plans are? I just saw the article, that Loma turned down the fight on Saturday! I don't think you knew b4 Saturday! So Tank should already have a contract for Shakur by today? Is that what you're saying? GTFOH! I didn't say Tank was fighting Pitbull! I said he should wait to see Pitbull's fight next Saturday, AND IF HE SHINES, ESPECIALLY BY KO, then he should take that fight over Shakur! If he looks bad, like the Cabrera fight, then go with Shakur! PERIOD!!!

Fact that you're even mentioning Pitbull's name who have a fight scheduled means you're living in fantasy. You're basically saying Pitbull would be ready to negotiate as soon as his next fight is over and he would be ready to fight in no time. What a ridiculous crap. It doesn't even matter whether he shines or not. The ridiculousness of waiting for a fight is just crap, nothing more nothing less. At least that what all fans should feel. A week of waiting is like eternity for many. You're talking about six months minimum. Just look at the recent fight history of most boxers these days. 7-9 months minimum in between their fights.

Pitbull's fight is next Saturday! They could easily fight in December or January! Here's "Marketing for Dummies..." it's called LEVERAGE! Look it up!

It's "Gobbling Up Azz for Dummies" on Amazon. Man you should get paid by Tank's team for this free PRs of yours and constant supply of ready-made justifications.

Wow, you really lack an understanding of business! Whether it’s Shakur or Pitbull, PBC and Amazon are the winners! The only question is which fight is going to make the most money? Both have titles, and both are coming off weak performances! 2 in a row for my Brother Shakur! So it only makes sense to see how Pitbull performs next week! If Pitbull shines, Tank’s team will make an offer to Shakur, LIKE HANEY DID, and then see what Pitbull is looking for! Lastly, Tank picks what’s best for him! At least that’s how I would play it! Time will tell!

Watch you hatin’ azz Mofos be the same ones who say “ Tank is ducking Pitbull,” the minute Tank and Shakur sign the contract, ESPECIALLY IF PITBULL SHINES next Saturday! “Oh, Tank picked feather-fisted Shakur, because it’s an easy win, etc.!” Y’all are not slick! What fans are getting angry? They just heard Loma swerved the fight on Saturday! Today is Wednesday! GTFOH!
