    Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Following in The Footsteps of The PPV King

    By Thomas Gerbasi - The 24th fight of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s career may have been his toughest. On October 21, 2000, the 1996 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist, already a world champion at 130 pounds, engaged in a non-title bout against Emanuel Augustus on HBO's KO Nation series.

    Gervonta Davis should follow the foot steps of Pacman. They are of the same size with the power and talent to compete up to 147 pounds. He needs to fight bigger guys in order to sell 1M PPV.

      Such a "PPV King" that we will never know his PPV numbers. Same as Charlo PPV numbers.

        Not sure about that. He skipped the part where Floyd Jr fought good fighters.

            Gervonta Davis can win all he wants. If anyone has seen that dude in interviews, then there’s no doubt he ain’t becoming a ppv star

              Becoming a ppv star is as much about fights as it is ability to resonate with fans.

              Tank to me doesn’t seem to have all of “it” IMO. Teo on the other hand seems to have “it”.

                PPV is in a ruff spot. No Crowds, no people to speak of, it is experimental to see how fans in the stands goes. Just a fact. Disposiable income get real. Fighters willing to fight without full pay they are used to hows that going ?, crowds a flip of a coin at best. Stuff that dont even touch who or what G. Davis is. All sport is taking what they can get putting on the best look and overlooking things that might keep people from dropping off from viewing. Who really likes PPV ? Who enjoys paying extra more money for a fight then they should? I look at Davis like the Summer Series with ESPN lets keep it going and hope that we get some great or at least good fights by middle of 2021. Davis don't deserve a PPV event headline but he has got the pull right now and the best choice they could make deal wise. As a fighter give him three to four more fights and then I will know who or what he is. PPV or otherwise.

                    What is this a fkin joke lol as if any decent fighter can be PPV stars..

                    Too many words get easily thrown around in Boxing.

                    Davis sounds half r3tarded when he speaks sort of like Chad Dawson and just like Mayweather too.

                    More importantly, he needs to face the right oppositions that will catapult him to that level and he has none.

                    He has zero personality, dude is fairly ugly, little stubby boy is about 5’4” he is not star material.

                    I know a PPV star when I see one and Davis isnt it.

                    Forget Mayweather lmfao, he couldnt even hold Zab Judah’s spit bucket.
