Comments Thread For: Ellerbe on Gervonta Davis Becoming a Box Office Star

[KTFOKING]

I also believe he can be a star and would be a star. However he isn’t one now. I mean Ellerbe is doing is job here, but it’s laughable him trying to convince anyone that Canelo’s star power is coming down.... Whatever.

Oh, comparing him to Canelo? HELL NO, he's definitely not on that level. But I'm just comparing him to his contemporaries in the US, and he's doing really well for himself. Kid definitely has a loyal following and his fans travel well and has a nice social media following........And he's a superb talent in the ring, but that's why he needs to go after the top dogs. No one is going to dominate him or embarrass him, so go take on those challenges.

Lopez is 22, barely won a world title and jumping into a fight with Loma. Vergil Ortiz is on the verge of a title shot as he's climbing the ranks against the deep welterweight division and he's 21. Davis is 25 and wants to fight a bantamweight fighter on PPV in his next fight. This dude is a joke and clearly being protected. I don't know how his fanboys protect him.

I wonder if it's money. Tank is already making money fighting cans. Maybe Lopez sees this as his way to money and fame.

at first ggg ducked ward to fight lemiuex...then it was revealed that the offer was to fight in a years time and not in 2015 so that was bollocks. now its ggg ducked ward to fight wade and brook...cept he only fought those guys after canelo refused to fight him which they totally ignore. as if ggg knew canelo would duck him so he should have signed to fight ward before he knew that? makes no sense. these fanboys and tribalists are trying to revise history so they can manufacture a duck instead of looking at the context of the situation. they also ignore how ward turned down ggg, tried to fight some guy named dmitri sartison against hbo's wishes, and then got canned by hbo.

yea...not to mention it was brought up in a thread about gervonta davis for some reason.

yea, he ducked a guy in another division to fight the #1 guy in his division.

canelo was #1 at MW even though he had 0 wins at the full limit and only CW wins over a WW/JR MW cotto and khan?!?!?! LOL....wow....i mean....

some of you hoes need to relax...tank will fight loma, provided everything goes according to plan, in 2021 at the age of 26.....not many guys are taking on p4p top 3s at the age of 26

besides canelo what were most of these guys doing at age 26...what was spence or crawford doing? loma was still fighting kids in headgear lol

they didnt say "maybe" or "lets see what happens with canelo" or anything of the sort...they flat out said NO within minutes and deflected......

quack quack....i know it sucks to know your boy ducked while you run around calling others duckers

tank will fight loma in 2021 at the age of 26......hes doing more than most guys have done by that age that are current fighters....what were golovkin, loma, crawford, spence doing at 26?

[Curt Henning]

yea...not to mention it was brought up in a thread about gervonta davis for some reason.

its brought up as a comparison and to show you the point that you clowns will make excuses for someone like golovkin when he makes a "business" decision but make fun of someone you want to hate for doing smart business

again....if tank fights loma in 2021 at age 26 hes already doing more than any other active fighter, sans canelo, at that age....

canelo was the lineal mw champion...it was the best fight that could be made in the division, period.

why does age matter? he's been a champion for what, 3 years? no attempt to unify, no attempt to face other top fighters...but we need to hear about what a "star" he is. lopez just won a belt, and he's about to fight in a unification vs p4p level opposition...he young doe. can't you just admit tank is being carefully moved and hasn't done much since becoming a champion?

lolol

two months ago you fgts were all like "lopez aint beat nobody he needs to shut up...he aint ready and he needs to prove alot more before he even deserves a fight with loma"...now you are all using him to slight tank...lol..meanwhile you were all bashing him telling him hes ****** and going to ruin his career and hes rushing it

tank is being carefully moved..i never said he wasnt.....but so what? is that not ok? if he fights loma by 2021 is that not ok?

Box office star? He barely seems to even fight and when he does it's against less-than-stellar competition. Add that to the fact that everybody knows he's avoiding Lomachenko and I can't see him becoming a box office star any time soon.
