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

[Ray*]

Yeah but he was offered $5m for a ONE fight deal.

There’s no way he’s getting $5m a fight anywhere else. What would be so bad about taking a one fight deal elsewhere for big money, his handlers should encourage that. Every fight might be your last.

My belief is that if you get offered a deal that you can’t match, then handlers should let the fighter make the money.

Saunders was one of Warren’s biggest names but let him sign to fight Andrade on DAZN because it was good money for a one fight deal.

The fact is that Ellerbe and the PBC lot are preventing the likes of Davis making money because they don’t want to give other promoters or networks any exposure. It’s about them, not Tank.

Tank has already ranted about his promoters before. I guarantee you that if they don’t start paying him the money he’s getting offered elsewhere sometimes soon, that relationship is going to break down.

Well said, this is the thing am seeing with PBC. You gave a perfect example there with the Warren and BJS/Andrade example, another one is the recent Ramirez/Hooker fight. And these guys aren’t bums to those promoters too, they are their A or B class fighters.

For me there is zero excuse, am not buying any at all. They have a one fight deal offer, no string attached. Tank is not a major PPV star NOW. So nothing affects his sales, and from what we all know he has never seen 5m before this offer.

The guy isn't getting paid, he couldn't even pay a $500 bet he made and lost all credibility with his boxingscene buddies.

Credibility? Lol. Yeah right. This guy is backed by the CBS site. A fan couldn’t make DAZN threads because somehow there’s a mysticism against a foreign business and such threads are “propaganda.” Whereas MCC has his legion of PBC LDBC followers on this site. MCC even pointed out defense for LDBC...

[ReggieKray]

This sounds like poor tank is getting played and brainwashed. Who gives a fk how many viewers there are if tank would be making more money. Pbc isn't looking out for tank they are just looking out for themselves and it's blatant. Also why are they making it seem like Tank's existing fan base wouldn't watch that fight if it was on DAZN. This is pure ******ity... I think tank is old enough to start making his own decisions and taking the opportunities that pay him more.

Am not even bothered with what was said between them two. Am speaking about how Ellerbe has become a “Hater” himself. He was a very positive person before this, he use to speak as a motivational speaker when he was managing Mayweather. Use to attack “Haters” and how you can use them as a motivational tool etc His messages and tweet has changed over the last two years, he himself has really turned into a hater.

what is a hater exactly?

[Bullrider]

PBC is a cancer in the sport.

[BoloShot]

Yep he'll always be the broke bet welch that has no credibility. I like informing posters not to trust him and his BS.

Robbie no one takes you seriously either...

[daggum]

they have a plan for tank and that plan is apparently fight bums forever until tank is a ppv star. i mean look at the great ratings he is getting! almost did as much as stevenson vs badou jack! we all were calling stevenson a ppv star right?

you just explained why tank wouldn't go to dazn. someone like canelo already has the cache. tank is building up a nice base, it would be ****** for him to take the biggest fight of his career to the smallest platform.

finally, no really offer has been made. just talk to the media. which is hearn's mo. the $5m offer was from several months back and was a copromotional deal which tank and mp would never go for. this is tevin farmer we're talking about, not a b-side with backing. hearn plays these dumb media games as if we cant read between the lines and now folks are starting to bite back.

Wrong, Canelo is signed exclusively to DAZN, Tank is/was offered a one fight deal for the biggest payday of his career. Totally two different thing.

In Ellerbe’s own words (Someone that doesn’t want to see you grow, someone that hates your “Hustle”).
