        Hard to tell, pacquiao is still the biggest draw at 130 pounds, and this was before social media era.

          Pacquiao fought hof fighters and champions to become a ppv attraction. Davis doesn't seem to want to go that route

            They need to promote him as the new Mike Tyson ... in KOs and speech. Literally. He talks just like him.

              Ultimately I think he'll need to fight Loma to put him over. If he could create a rivalry with Loma that resulted in 2 or 3 fights that'd be ideal.

              At 130 I think Berchelt is the crown ***el for him. If Herring fights & can beat Berchelt doe maybe that could be a fight that could do something with Herring's militay angle.

              Idk that either of those 130 fights get him as big as he can be doe. I think Loma vs Tank HAS to happen or Tank's not gonna be getting on the top of that list I posted.

              OR someone else is gonna need to rise up as a new rival which could happen with Teofimo (although that probably couldn't happen til/if Tank is at 140), Ryan Garcia & Devin Haney all around these lil guy weight divisions & all seem like they have potential to catch fire.

                Not with the kind of opposition he’s fighting
                Just don’t see it happening

                    Who's all these HOF guys he don't wanna fight? Seems like its the Loma show & thats it at the moment & they aren't even in the same division these days.

                    And I don't think getting some seasoning as champ was a bad idea or just get things on what they felt was the right track cuz its not like its been smooth sailing behind the scenes for Team Tank.
