    Have him headline a PPV then. You guys won't because he is not even close to being a star.

        thats the plan actually

        but when it does 250k the same people will say those numbers are a lie and the real number they got from rick glaser(who basically polls his friends and uses that as a barometer) was like 46k

            It’s like when Floyd started calling himself TBE. Doesn’t make it true if your the only one saying it.
            Mayweather promotions has yet to build a big Star and this guy isn’t it.

              Davis's core fanbase are not exactly high IQ types to be honest.

              Getting out of bed before 4pm is a real challenge for most of them.

                250k (highly doubt it does even that) isn't good numbers for a star of the magnitude Ellerbe and Floyd claim Davis is, it's a PPV set to tank (pun intended) anything less than 700k ruins the lie they are spinning. That's the problem with having big mouths and exaggerating.

                  250k in this climate is good....if you refuse to acknowledge it you are just hating

                  davis just turned 25 in november...hes selling seats....yes floyd and ellerbe are exaggerating to a degree...they may be trying to make you believe hes a superstar....you dont have to believe hes some superstar like canelo or floyd...of course he isnt...but hes ahead of the curve...when did floyd do his first ppv and how much did it sell?

                  250k for tanks first ppv would be good and a success...if you say otherwise you are in denial and lying to yourself....

                  floyd used to say he was TBE....many said he wasnt...you dont have to believe it...but he can still say it if he wants or if he believes it

                  but make no mistake...250k would be a success.....and if you dont think so you dont know what youre talking about

                    People want to act like a major chunk of his fan base aren’t Floyd fans or something. A fighter who refuses to challenge himself at 23 fights is a huge huge huge star..gtfoh..the standard for stars must be supremely low then.

                      Davis is more like the biggest bust since Jeff Horn. Wait until he faces a more formidable opponent. Put him in with Crawford since they have badd blood and see how that works out for him.
