You don’t know the difference in the package offered and what the fighter gets? Lol.
Ramirez got 4.25. You don’t think top rank got paid?
A 5 mil package for Davis. You don’t think MP is taking part of that 🤣
Sounds like they were offered the same package.Comment

Again, you're either missing the point or avoiding it. Farmer according to you is terrible and no one wants to see him fight, you are saying this is a thread about how he was just offered $2M by Showtime for 1 fight, has Tank made that much in a single fight? I honestly don't know.Farmer is an undercard fighter getting boo'd out of a half empty arena with 25k people watching. Farmer 4 fight contract with DAZN was a total of $2 mil. Davis is a star with everybody in the division calling him out. Farmer doesn't get a percentage. He can go back to DAZN and keep fighting in front of half empty stadiums with 25k people watching.
So we have dazn offering Tank $5M, Showtime offering Farmer $2M, I'm suggesting the fighters agree to a split, then whichever network offers the most gets it, its a one off, they both get paid, we get the fight. Boxing fans win, networks fans not so much.Comment

Farmer currently doesn't have a contract with DAZN so everything you're saying about DAZN is useless to discuss.Again, you're either missing the point or avoiding it. Farmer according to you is terrible and no one wants to see him fight, you are saying this is a thread about how he was just offered $2M by Showtime for 1 fight, has Tank made that much in a single fight?

And the $5 mil offer is with options on Tank. That's not happening.Comment

Show me where it is reported the $5M offer is with options? Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true, where was that reported?
Now you are saying Farmer doesn't have a contract with dazn, in a thread about dazn offering Tank $5M to fight Farmer?
You just keep avoiding the point I made with completely irrelevant responses.Comment

To be fair Tank's latest feature fight was worse than a lot of undercards you'd see. I'm sure his own undercard was better considering Ladarius Miller was fighting a higher ranked super feather that came up to lightweight. Jezzrell Corrales ranked 20 vs Ricardo Nunez 33 world rank.
At the same time Farmer overvaluing himself here. Obviously higher risk higher reward, however he doesn't have the marketability that Tank does. The average fan base just wants blood/knockouts, Farmer doesn't deliver that type of fight so what are they left with to sell? I guess his overcoming adversity story with the injuries/strabismus/late start etc, but if it were that great of a story surely they'd be milking it dry. He's a sound defensive fighter, but in the end to have that style and be popular I guess you just have to be extremely talented.Comment
