    He might wanna crowd Davis and be in his face at 130 in order to get that fight. That's his biggest money fight, even including Mikey, and has a PPV written all over it.
    ... it's sure that arum doesn't want to pay Mikey ever again...
    ... as about Tank... I can't see him wanting to fight Loma willingly for the time being...

There's literally only 2 fights in Boxing right now that deserve the billing and I genuinely don't see Tank or Loma becoming cross over PPV attractions. Even Mikey vs Loma to be honest would be lucky to get a 700K PPV buy. It seems Live Streaming / subscription based platforms is where everything is headed, and I'm ok with that.
      I see what you are saying, but I think Loma-Davis could bring in about 300K PPV, which is still great money for these guys.

      I don't think Mikey-Loma would sell much at all.

        Davis does want to fight Loma. The whole beef with Floyd has to do with the disrespect Floyd has shown him by announcing a Loma fight to the world without Davis even knowing about it. That's BS on Floyd's part. Fights don't happen that way.

          ... I've also heard something about Floyd's "beef" vs Davis...
          ... anyway, even if Tank leaves FMJr and signes with Hearn, I can't see Hearn forcing Gervonta into this...

            No boxer can be forced. Promoters work for the boxers.

              floyd always does this. diss the fighter, then when floyd fights them, he hypes that fighter up again lol.
              You're not going to convince racists like Big Dunn anything. Truth is, Floyd should be talking about how great Lomachenko is and then saying that Davis will stop him.

              The reason you're not seeing any build up for this fight is because there's no way in hell they're putting Davis in there with that killer.

                  Yeah, about the distractions in Gervonta's hometown. I was on Floyd's side about that issue.
