Only thing that'll stop a Davis-Farmer unification, from what I can see, is Eddie Hearn showing up with a $1m+ per fight deal guaranteed.
Tevin just started a YT channel. He's trying to build a brand now & sh^t lol. He's not in cash out mode. He's still in make money mode. If he doesn't re-sign with Matchroom I'd be surprised.
If Eddie wants to re-sign him is the bigger question. And since Eddie still isn't winning the day very well in the US (despite the recent Haney signing & this Joshua debut that was looking good at first, but has turned into a bit of a sh^tshow even if it does good gate numbers) Tevin is a nice asset to have just cuz he's got a belt & there are fights to make that make sense.
I suspect Tevin vs the Cancio vs Machado winner or probably even more likely JoJo Diaz are possible for solid money for Tevin. And while I think those along with many fights out there for Tevin are losable I also think they are winnable enough for the risk & upside in enhancing his value.
All he's getting from MP is one check & a assbeating cuz he's not on Tank's level.

I hope they go that route myself. I definitely don't see how a unification fight is a reasonable expectation so go for names & respected guys you can get. And GRJ is one of those guys. Maybe the best guy cuz of the Loma connection.
The thing I really hope for is that Tank takes the lead on demanding GRJ or whoever is a more legit name opponent post-July cuz while I'm a fan of Tank its hard watching all these mfers post-fight & between fights who are all like "idc who I fight next" & "I'll fight whoever" without naming names & Tank is one of those types of guys. Too many guys seem to be a unwilling passenger in the car ride of their own career with this "idc" & "thats for my promoter to decide, I just fight" stuff.

Alright let's get the train moving on this guy - if he's gonna be out crushing guys at least keep him active and get it over with, I think more fans will come back around to him. It such a protracted period of time that I think people have lost track of where he is in his career. On any given day he's a Champ, a prospect, or a baby, etc. Maybe a Russell fight can be how they frame this phase of his career around? Let get it going because he can bring some attention to some fights and excitement in the crowd.

Davis vs Farmer puts Farmer on actual national/global TV, with a real push of his face/name in Philadelphia/Pennsylvania, for a serious payday, in a big fight he could still win.

All I'm saying is pride is fickle.
Lou DiBella is Farmer's promoter, Farmer has made a nice chunk of change with DAZN, but he's still three title defenses into his run with his profile no higher than where it was before he won the title.
Davis may as well show up and stomp Farmer's face in, but that's not the point; Farmer could potentially get a real national push (across FOX/FS1, Showtime, and possibly ESPN, with the rest of the national outlets pitching in) for the fight, and with Davis not long for 130lbs anyway, Farmer is positioned to have a pretty good run at 130lbs post Davis (with many of the PBC 126lbers starting their move to 130lbs).

Go fight a bunch of guys he can beat on DAZN every 3 months for a few sexy checks. Or get murdered by Tank in front of more people for 1 sexy check & then nobody is gonna sign you to a f#cking deal at all after you get KTFO in 4 rounds by Tank?
If I'm Tevin I'm sticking with DAZN. The best thing thats happened to Tevin in his boxing life is DAZN ffs. Everything else is a dream scenario or a maybe it could work out scenario. DAZN is working out right now. If I'm Tevin I'm on the bird in the hand is worth two in the bush logic.
Its easier money. Its more money overall. I mean legit how much more do you think MP is paying Tevin for the Tank fight then he's getting from DAZN for much easier guys? Idk that its gonna be THAT much thats its worth risking his current value cuz if Tank destroys him, & I feel like he will, Tevin gots no where to go. MP ain't gonna keep him around thats for f#cking sure.
