    Bro it’s simple as the information is publicly available just google the stats on the cards he is headlong and you will see he has been selling out arena’s not just in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland and now selling several hundred of thousands on PPV. By way of comparison the great Terence Bud Crawford was put on PPV and it’s sad he could not sell flies even with someone like Amir Khan who has name name recognition. This is why Bob Arum was complaining about losing money on Bud’s fights especially as Top Rank had to pay Khan $5.5 Million. It’s sad but I think Top Rank don’t know how to promote him perhaps the way PBC would have done.

    Of course he is biased as he sees dollar signs with Tank but that does not make it lies either. There is symbiosis because he will go with who is earning them the most. Nothing complex Bro. Tank is giving them the Mike Tyson feel with the spectacular knockouts which the crossover fans love. Hard core fans like us will marvel at the boxing skills of Tank not just his power however Loma or Haney for all his brilliance skills wise is less attractive to the cross over fans because of the relative lack of TNT explosion.

    I know he is doing good numbers

    I can see why too

    Exciting fighter to watch

    But where's the stats showing he is getting non boxing hard-core viewers buying?

    Bro can u please shut up about this guy. Tank is a cherrypicker. I don't know why u dickride the dude so much. He makes tons of money but real boxing fans know he's a waste of talent who hasn't beaten any top opponents at lightweight. Mayweather did good making him a star, but he didn't do good making him an elite player in the division

    People who don’t normally watch boxing are calling boxing people speaking about Tank. It’s happened to me which reflects the numbers.

    I am not sure Teo’s father wants it because they have sparred before. What people say and what they really want can be different.

    nah , I got love for teofimo

    I was challenging quina74 on his logic of hating on Tank & Canelo Specifically.

    but yeah Teofimo is a true talent.
    Highly anticipating that rematch with loma … could end up being a Trilogy.

    Yes he is. Who has he beaten at lightweight ? 1 legged past it suspect chin gamboa ? And Barrios while ok has beaten nobody of note. And that wasn't at lightweight

    Tank is a draw whether people want to acknowledge it or not is irrelevant.

    So you think he is wasting his talent?

    Wasting and wasted are two very different things
