Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: No Sport Lies To Its Fans Like Boxing

[boxingthoughts]

gervonta davis is the emporers clothes

following up a fight that should have been abner mares with gamboa is just not compelling for the heir apparent to become the face of boxing.

he just hasnt fought anyone yet is treated like a king
he just hasnt entertained me in years yet his producer acts like he deserves everything and more

gervonta - just fight someone competitive and become a champion and ill care

fight mikey garcia and win and ill care
quit fighting cab drivers
someone will be coming up the ranks too much time is passing and you dont have enough activity and you will be exposed and i will laugh and never had to have bought your ppv

I consider this Showtime's permanent pre-withdrawal from Boxing.

Fox side of PBC is the worst, aint got the balls to call that one out though

Yup & you know he hates FOX just as much as he hates DAZN if not more, just doesn't wanna muddy up his relationship with Al. I think he knows Haymons got half a mind to completely jump ship to Fox and Espinoza is doing his best to stay on his good side lol

[Bronx23]

Pedraza was not in the fight at all and got the brakes beat off him. Lol @ until he got clipped.

How long can we sit on that Pedraza win though? I think that's everyone's issue. Besides Pedraza, there's nobody.

Gamboa has been shot for YEARS ,& was never elite, but was a rising talent years ago & will be another "good win" for Tank. I can see it now: " Tank beat Gamboa up worse than Crawford did! "

I just saw a Leonard Ellerbe interview over the weekend where everyone was putting him in the hot seat over when we'll see Tank in against someone the fans ACTUALLY WANT to see (Loma, Haney, Mikey Garcia, Ryan Garcia, Farmer, Josh Taylor etc.)

& All that came out the fat nose was "we're the A side in any fight" " no one can make me an offer" "we have our own plans for tank" "tanks a superstar" "future ppv star" "were not fighting on an app" "Tank does bigger viewership #s than everyone"

Translation: We intend to keep fighting bums to pad Tanks record with highlight reel KOs to continue to fool the casuals that don't know any better. All those other guys can fight each other we're trying to protect our guy. We're good over here.

Espinoza came up under Oscar then helped Shaefer go behind his back and raid his stable of fighters.
The Espinoza stood by while Haymon took those big fights to Fox and left Showtime boxing on life support.

what exactly was khan when crawford fought and beat him? a name....thats it....arum had to pay khan 5 million to get a name fighter, who was shot to ****, for crawford

yes we know what gamboa is by now...but hes a known fighter...a name people, even some casuals, recognize....gamboa has been on a lil win streak and his name is known....

tank just turned 25 a few days ago...like just turned 25

how many current elite fighters have had a resume at 25? the only guy you can find with an elite guy was canelo with floyd.....if i showed you what spence, crawford, golovkin etc were doing at 25 youd have a good laugh

and ellerbe has every right to say that

tank turned 25 on what? november 7th....fresh 25....

loma was still fighting with headgear at 25....do you want me to show you what golovkin, crawford, spence and the rest of the guys were doing at tanks age?

they have every right to try to build a brand with tank if thats what they want to do right now...tank has plenty of time to build a resume

tank has already sold out in his hometown...made 7 straight showtime/ppv appearances...and already makes a fight, ballpark, what loma does and loma is top p4p.......so yeah...tank is doing ok....

people just hate on him by association because of guys like al, ellerbe and floyd...if you look at tank objectively youd see hes doing fine....people want him ruined and as fast as possible to soothe their fragile egos
