Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Tank Will Become Household Name, PPV Star

[Shadoww702]

... when I hear about becoming a "household name, PPV star", now (in 2019)!!! well...

You put him in a milk carton would anyone notice who he is?? I live in Vegas not 1 time did I hear ppl going out of their way for him.

Canelo could be in the same car and not know who he was...

I wake up this nice morning, and every other boxing article is about this dude. Was there similar hype on Adrien Broner five years ago? Or about the same?

I will definitely watch this guy fight. But not buy any PPV’s.

One wrongdoing and they'll compare him to AB!
honestly i like tank, reminds me of young iron mike!

[4truth]

Maybe but it's going to require a competitive rivalry. One that gets everyone bickering back and forth...

We dont even know if hes any good yet. Whos he beat, pedraza? Wow, how amazing. One win against a B level fighter makes u the 'next superstar of boxing' lol

There was much more hype about broner

Hes ugly, lazy, no personality.... Good Luck with that. Oscar and Canelo got the most BEAUTIFUL women to watch them fight. WTF you think he brings????

Yeah, Canelo and Oscar get stunning women and celebrities to show up and that turns it from just a fight, into a massive sporting event.

Fighting nobodies is not the way to go. You become a star by constantly fighting other BIG NAMES. Floyd wasn't **** until he fought Oscar.

I would love to face Gevonta in an MMA match.

Re

They're putting him on the same Mayweather route. Basically, become the "villain" to the Mexican/PR/Latino fanbase.

Broner is that? But he doesn't win.

Really?!?!

Please Floyd, you of all people should know better than to say this now. Look at your own career, from 1998 to 2006 (before the switch from Pretty Boy to Money) you faced the best in the ring. This allowed you to call out Oscar, change you nickname to "Money" and finally become a PPV juggernaut. Gervonta aka Tank will have to follow the same path unless you want him to take the McGreggor route and become a one hit wonder.

To become a PPV star Tank needs to build a case and then have a worthy opponent. Like you faced Diego Corrales, Mitchell, Castillo, Corely, Chavez and even Augustus , Manfredy, Tank will have to work to become a PPV star.

This means Tank has to beat Lomacheko just like you had to beat Diego Corrales just to get the recognition that got you the De La Hoya fight. IF Tank can beat Lomachenko and there is a big name left to make a huge PPV then maybe he can become a star.
