Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: I'm The 'A' Side Against Tank Davis, No Matter What Floyd Says

[Real King Kong]

Used to be a time where being the champion was the ultimate goal, but that’s not necessary anymore if you can keep beating outmatched opposition while convincing people that they’re big fights, and claiming to be the best without proving it. Smoke and mirrors Davis is a “ppv star” doe.

A side is not about who is more proven dumb ass. Its about who puts people in seats, who sells more.

How you expect to get paid more than the guy who is responsible for more money coming in.

Who is the international superstar that will bring in millions and who is the dumb fucc trying to Emulate Adrien Broner?

You are basing Davis success on a shared PPV with Leo Santa Cruz.

If you don’t believe it was LSC that brought in the money, I have the Golden Gate Bridge I’d like to sell you.

You ****** fucc.

Lol, you're an idiot bruh why has Santa Cruz never been in a ppv before at age 32 if he is the one bringing fans?

Why did Teofimo vs Loma have such avarage numbers on cable if he is such a super star?

Get out of here!

If you believe AJ and Fury generate the same money to be on equal terms with the split, then you're beyond help. Fury doesn't even generate 10% of what AJ does. Why else do you think his Dec 5th fight was cancelled? Because BT Sport didn't have the money to pay him and his opponent due to Fury not being a seller. His PPV's bomb over here. That probably would have been his worst one if they tried that and lost more money on him. No, they needed ESPN involved so they can spread the losses between them. That's why Fury is fighting in the US instead of the UK next time out.

Holy moly! You're a dummy!

When was this magical time when Belts where the ultimate goal? I would love to know a fighter that would trade a million-dollar purse for a belt.

For all the talk that Teofimo hasn’t been on PPV and Tank has is garbage. Tank did leas than 200K buys. Teofimo versus Lomachenko would’ve done north of 800K buys if it was on PPV. You can’t brag about being on PPV when your numbers were trash, facts.

Put down the pipe

Belts have always been the steppingstones to the big paydays. Almost all the biggest fights are championship fights. There’s at least been the illusion that the sport is structured around fighters proving who the best is.

I've got 1 name to say about that.

USA, and Americans or people living in the US, including the media, are the ones that rule the sport. Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing....don´t like it, fight in Tasmania....

Americans run this sport? They don't come close to doing so. All you have to do is put all the good victories or better from every fighter from each country in in a pile, then compare them to other countries. You'll find that the US has fighters with worthless resumes which are in the majority. Only a few have more than a couple of good wins. That's how bad it is.

20 years ago Vegas was the Mecca. But not any more. It doesn't make as much money on average as fights in the UK.

Why would you advise fighters to fight in Tasmania? They don't need to. They can fight in the UK. You'll see actual sell out crowds in arenas and even stadium fights. Even the promoters over there acknowledge this and can't sell tickets in the US any more. Sorry.
