No way in hell is Davis a star. If he does a ppv the question that needs to be asked is who is there for him to fight which would be worth paying for a ppv? We all know he will not fight Loma or Lopez. Santa Cruz or Russell will not move up and fight him. There is no opponent which Davis is willing to fight that will make a ppv fight appealing. Now if PBC and Davis are so out of touch and narcissistic that they think he is so popular that he can fight anyone and put it out on ppv then they will be hit with a reality check once the ppv numbers come in.
One thing for certain is beating Gamboa does not make
a ppv star. Not even beating Gamboa in his prime could make a ppv star. Davis, PBC, and his fans are trying todirectly copy Mayweather's blue print and make him the next Mayweather. This attempt will fail as Davis is not remotely in anyway comparable to Mayweather. He is not as good of a fighter, he does not have a charismatic personality, and he does not have the ability to move up in weight multiple times and keep winning. Trying to re-create Mayweather with Davis is a futile attempt and is destined to fail. Mayweather was a much more successful fighter at 130-135lbs than Davis is. He was not afraid to fight the best fighters at 130,135lbs. Davis has done everything to avoid the best at 130 and 135lbs.
More than likely in trying to create another Mayweather they will create another Broner instead.
