    Should Farmer had taken the $2 mil offer from Gervonta Davis?

    Not only should he have taken the fight, Gervonta was ripe for the taking. The fight was supposed to be at 130 and Gervonta had trouble making 135 his last fight. Farmer had a good chance to beat him and be in the driver's seat for the rematch.

    Instead he's fighting on the undercard of Jake Paul for a whole lot less money and a one fight deal.

    This has to be one of the worst decisions I've seen in recent times.

        I just can't understand why you turn down $2 million to fight a unification in Atlanta to fight for more than less of that on a Jake Paul undercard in Miami. And you don't even have a deal. You're fighting on a fight by fight basis. I don't get it

            Depends on what he would have got when his team offered Davis 5m for the same fight.

            If he was going to make more then it wouldn’t have made sense for him to accept that offer, moreover that offer doesn’t seem genuine, it seems the offer was made to make Tank look good since his team turned down the 5m dollars that was offered to him for the farmer fight.

              jake paul is far more popular than tank davis so no he shouldn't HAVE taken the offer. he's betting on himself!

                    Yeah history is full of fighters that made bad decisions. That was one of them.
