Ellerbe explains why he won't let Davis fight on Dead Zone (DAZN)

[Robbie Barrett]

If he wants 50/50 then he's a moron. Dude has no drawing power and fights on mainly undercards FFS.

What DAZN is willing to pay their fighter should have zero bearing on anyone else. Aslong as they're willing to pay Davis more than PBC are then Davis should take the fight. Yet again we're seeing PBC preventing fights and losing their fighters money.

This is all facts. According to app revenue, DAZN only has around 100-200k subscribers in the USA. It would be terrible for Gervonta Davis’s career to fight on an app where maybe 30k people are watching him fight live.

Does it really matter how many people watch you earn a career high $5 million?

Nope it doesn’t 😂 This people are sheeps, they cannot think for themselves, so they parrot whatever propaganda they have placed in their heads. Why would any fighter care who sees them? If the money is right phuck the crowd 😂

Probably tired of listening to hearn blatantly tell reporters how everyone in the usa sucks at promoting, promising to steal his main guy while dissing his colleagues.

People need to do what we do here, turn off when Hearn comes on, that way you wouldn’t have to hear anything he has to say. It’s shocking how this guy seems to have taken over their lives over in America. I can barely listen to him for 2 minutes in a video.

If Tevin gets 5M, then Davis will want 7M. But Hearn himself is on record saying it isn't a 50/50 fight. So yeah, Farmer can want 50/50, but he won't get that even on DAZN.

Are they going to pay what DAZN will?

Yes Tevin is getting paid 500k a fight idiot. They offered him 2M. He’s scared. Back to getting booed and fighting EuroBums while struggling with Tanks left overs

DAZN are willing to pay more than 2 mil to Farmer. They offered Davis 5 mil and said it was going to be 60/40. Try again.


Haymon supposed to be a manager, supposed to do what's best for his fighter. Why isn't he letting fighters earn more money? He's doing what's best for him and not the fighter.

It does matter. Less people watching = less popularity = less money in the long term.

DAZN is bad for boxing and it has diminished the popularity of many boxers already.

He has no one to fight at 130-135. All the top fighters from those weights are with espn and Farmer is with dazn guess its cans and smaller fighters for Tank.

Tevin Farmer is a nobody. The only reason why he is even remotely known by boxing fans is because he keeps mentioning Gervonta’s name. Only 15k twitter followers compared to Gervonta’s 200k. Only 200k Instagram followers compared to Gervonta’s 1.7 million. Tevin Farmer got boo’d in his last fight and in his home town fight only brought in around 3k fans.

Gervonta under no circumstance will cross over to fight on DAZN against a nobody like Tevin. Tevin has to come to Showtime/FOX.
