Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis On Santa Cruz: We Gonna Headline PPV in 2020

[Ake-Dawg]

GGG never moved up. At least Tank did that.

People have selective memories when it comes to certain fighters.

What Nelo/Jacobs, that's it? Unless you count Ruiz upsetting AJ.

The best fight this past weekend and the weekend before that were on dazn.

Good post. Don't waste words on these guys.

Easter's fight was a lot more exciting to me. And, this weekend, we don't know if it will be a good fight yet.

Shouldn't both Loma and Davis build as big a fan base as possible before doing a ppv that has to be a Showtime ESPN split. Takes more than hardcores to make those types of fights worth it for the fighters and their networks/promoters.

What is there left to build?
Loma is not moving up to 140, he conquered everything from 126 to 135 and stated he will hop up and down. There ain't nothing wrong with Davis and Loma building a little bit more but all I'm saying is That is the fight Worthy of PPV. Davis vs Santa Cruz is not PPV worthy point blank

This fight will get made next year and 2 weeks before the fight Leo Santa Cruz will pull out due to injury and fight 2 warm up fights in 2021 hahaha hate boxing right now. All these good fighters at 135 and they all avoiding each other.

Lomochenko got slimy arum
Davis got delusional Mayweather
Haney got fast Eddie

So Davis has to build his fan base since in your view, Loma has maxed out his fan base.

The Easter fight was good, but I watched it straight after the Taylor vs prograis fight, and it was like it was in slow motion.

oh yes its the same thing. tank could barely even make weight. hes not moving up to impress you or challenge himself. ggg was fully grown already when he turned pro. also so moving up in fighting bums and small fighters is better than fighting everyone in your division?

GGG made a career of fighting bums and letting the media hype him for it and people like you would eat it up everyday.

Not every amateur's a teenager. Loma has nearly 400 wins as an amateur. Ironically enough, he's probably faced way more adults before becoming a pro.

so wait....dude already has 7 straight showtime/ppv appearances under his belt...dude has already sold out his hometown....so say next year he does his first ppv at 25

It's not hard to make 7 appearances on a network and/or PPV, when you have 2 of the largest people in boxing pushing for you.

dude is already making, ballpark, what loma makes....and yet youre all still mad at him

People are mad at him, because he's fighting nobody and being rewarded for it. Dude beat Pedraza, and hasn't done anything since. Gamboa being handed a high rank for Tank was a joke, but at least it would put the latter in a position to finally face Loma. Now, Tank wants to fight Leo Santa Cruz after Gamboa? Santa Cruz is a featherweight, who's barely active. The fact that he's making anywhere near Loma money only goes to show how much of a circus act boxing can be.

what did the pro resumes of spence, crawford and loma look like by age 25?!?!?! please answer....

Crawford and Spence fought nobody, and Lomachenko was an amateur. Everyone goes pro and challenges for a title when they feel like they're ready. So far, it's worked well for Spence, Crawford and Lomachenko. Davis is no different, he just happened to be younger when he did it.

If he could beat a world champion at 22, then why hasn't he fought any other decent boxer 2 years later? The funny thing is, even you can't defend this. You keep bringing up his age, but that stopped being a valid excuse the moment he won that IBF belt. No amount of deflection or mental gymnastics will change that.
