Numbers Suggest Gervonta Davis' Appeal Is Rising, And He Is Boxing's Next PPV Attraction

Nope. He has a leash on his neck. Floyd and Ellerbe speak on his behalf like his pimps and interrupt every interview. Stars are independent.

it did around the same numbers as lara-hurd and less than stevenson vs jack.

poorly promoted? lol

at like age 22 he was the main support to a floyd ppv that did over 2 million ppvs

hes headlined a few shows by the age of 24 on premium cable

at 24 he sold 14k seats in his hometown

at 24 crawford would have been lucky to sell 7k in omaha...and he had yet to headlines a card on HBO

I never know when he fights. As much as I hear other names in the media, Davis barely gets any attention.

To be fair, I'm not surprised by lack of interviews with him. The guy can't put 5 words together in a coherent sentence

Have you heard him talk though? lol

If Davis is only fighting tomato cans then he is a tomato can. It's not hard to KO cans - almost every fighter did that on the start of pro career.

He's PPN, not PPV - Pay Per Nothing fighter.

Damn near every fight at Barclays? Even as an UC fighter he was bringing a big crowd each and every single time.

His gate against Mares was good as well… Obviously big help from Mares.

Mares was the main draw we know that. Every other card he’s under card. Hell Pedraza brought more ricans than tank brought fans.

That thread was predicting Broner being fighter of the decade. This thread is about Tank's star power. There is no doubt Tank has star power.

If Larry wrote Broner will be a star he would've been correct

tank is now doing numbers like Lara. They both are superstars

Mares was the main draw we know that. Every other card he’s under card. Hell Pedraza brought more ricans than tank brought fans.

Pedraza absolutely didn't bring in more fans. Tank brings a big crowd even as an UC fighter.

Point blank, dude is a draw. Will sell out in his hometown for sure against anyone. Put him at Barclays as a main eventer and he's putting up a nice crowd.

[CLUE]

Raising due to social media not due to fighting, his girlfriend is internet famous on big black gossip sites...that where many of this is coming from.

lol no he didn’t. Don’t lie. We’re u there ? They were even louder than the tank fans.

He’s a good draw at home. No doubt. Would be curious to see what he does in ny. There is a reason he was an undercard fighter for so long.

I mean the guy isn’t even getting 600k people to watch his fights. He’s hardly a superstar.
