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

    I think Farmer would have been KOed and he probably knew it so maybe it was not worth 2 million to suffer a KO defeat. Tank would have trained harder and fought better for Farmer. Tank knew Gamboa was washed up and did not train hard for him in my opinion.

      I use to think that as well but I think the build up would include a lot of drama which would sell this fight. Would have to stack the Undercard though

          Farmer doesn’t have the fan following that straight forward knockout punchers do. That along with the fact that he tends to make opponents look bad makes him one loss away from irrelevancy as people will start ducking him. For this reason I understand his decision to wait a little bit longer for the bigger payday. Because it could be his last.

            Yet I still think Charlo is a pussy for not pursuing a fight with Andrade for $7 million. At least call their bluff and see if they're serious or not.
            And what i find amusing is A pussy calling someone else a pussy. That is funny.

              Is it that hard to contact Hearn on the phone or social media to see if this "rumoured" offer is true or not? Don't you think it's normal to pursue such thing if you are interested?

                Yes. As it stands, nobody cares about Farmer. Nobody. The only thing that could change that is a win over Tank, Loma, and maybe Haney.

                  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.
                  The bold: No real boxing fan will EVER think that. Farmer has zero chance against Davis. You added that for reaction I guess.

                  I personally don't care about that fight. I don't want Cruz either. I'd prefer some tough journeymen at 135 if the Loma fight ain't gonna happen. Go on a journeymen tournament.

                    i completely agree with you. farmer is a bum with zero top ten wins. he even got destroyed by pedraza who isn't even that good.

                    wait what...a journeymen tournament for tank? you lost me.

                      sell it to who? ppv's aren't selling anymore. the best ppv over the last couple years was pac thurman and that didnt even do that well. just because there are a lot of dumb people on boxingscene doesnt mean there are a lot of dumb people in the real world who care. i mean there are certainly a lot of dumb people as we can see all those trump voters and supporters but they dont care about boxing. they are too busy pretending trump is god and never does anything wrong to watch boxing
