Is Tank Davis going to make $5 million to fight Gamboa?

[Curt Henning]

its nice that hearn wants to offer davis "5 mil" and get farmer "3 mil" or "3+mil" or whatever....but that's because hearn is desperate....he cant get farmer a decent fight....it doesn't jive with what the plan for tank is and his moves with showtime.....tank doesn't need farmer...he can still go get 2-3 mil right at home doing what haymon/showtime want him to do.....farmer/hearn/dazn need and want tank a heck of a lot more than tank needs farmer

tank can stay right at home and get good viewers right there on showtime and position himself as lomas mando and fight a good name known to boxing fans.......the heck does he wanna go over to a rival network and fight in front of 200,000(at best) viewers for? a few extra bucks? please.....tank has a great team in place and the backing of showtime....their plan is much bigger than going over to DAZN for a few extra bucks...trust that

$500,000 is a lot of money to give up because you really want something.

ill play devils advocate here...

"because he really wants the fight and tank is the bigger draw".....

[ShaneMosleySr]

Hearn said he offered a 60/40 split with Davis’ cut being $5 million.

That means Farmer gets over $3 million.

Prove it....his contract was only worth “up to” 2M dollars for 4 fights he was only guaranteed a average of 500K a fight but was trying to make it seem like he was breaking the bank with DAZN until his contract was revealed.

$500,000 is a lot of money to give up because you really want something.

short term it is....tank is 24...and hes already made good money...hes not moving for 500k....the showtime/haymon plan long term is worth wayyyyy more than 500k man.....hes on 7 straight showtime/ppv appearances.....why go to a rival network over 500k-1 mil?

hes about to fight a bigger name than farmer and position himself as #1 for lomas wba strap.....

500k is a lot to us....to a fighter with the backing of haymon, Floyd and showtime its not

maybe to farmer its a lot of money...but to the other guy it isn't.....and that's what the factor here is

[Curt Henning]

bottom line shane....tank don't need farmer...farmer needs tank...and if he wants to fight tank hes going to have to do it on his terms...not hearns....showtime/Floyd/haymons plan for tank is larger than some extra bucks today to go over to another network
