    Pretty sure Taylor and Lopez have a higher net worth than Davis.

    Mayweather will keep him very much inside the promotional family, I think. Could get pretty dull pretty quick if so.

    I think his PPV figures would argue otherwise. Selling out over 200,000 pay per view buys as he did on his Showtime PPV debut against LSC proves his box office appeal. In addition to selling out arena’s the buzz he is generating from non-traditional boxing fans is another key indicator. I think GGG sold some good PPV’s against Canelo though so in his case he needs the right dance partner.

    I think the move to take Barrios belt at 140 was calculated with all the main guys at 135 having scheduled fights except for Ryan Crybaby Garcia who punked out of a fight against Tank like the ***** she is. As regards your point Tank is in a great position holding titles simultaneously at 130, 135 and 140 pounds so he has a wide net to cast from Taylor to Shakir Stevenson.

    Basic economics. Money talks BS walks. Josh Taylor has all the belts but he does not make A side money because he is not the A side. Figures don’t lie.

    Not based on their fight purses. On Saturday what Davies earned is more than JT has in all his career. Facts.

    No they will make the right moves at the right time so expect them to fight Ryan Crybaby Garcia if his balls have dropped.

    Already openly ducking Taylor i'm afraid. Because he "cant' draw ****". Whils simultaneously saying that people will turn out to see Davis anyway. So he doesn't need an opponent who can draw.

    But, yeah, "right moves at the right time", maybe, maybe ducking Taylor now is wise if they are assuming that their man is going to get better.

    McGrain how many people do you want him to fight? He can’t fight them all at the same. As a Scotsman I respect your wanting him to fight your countryman but suspect the Ryan Garcia fight is more lucrative no doubt due to all of the crybaby’s teenage girl fans. Sad but true. By the way just want to put on record my great appreciation of the ability of JT a credit to Scotland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

    Of course he can't "fight them at the same time". But if a guy starts talking about the reasons his fighter can't fight his division's best fighter right after his biggest night of boxing, that's of interest, obviously. More, if you're trying to pick out his career path, it's a pretty significant indicator of what's to come, at this time.

    He is for sure. Biggest name in boxing outside AJ, Pacquiao & Canelo.

    You and I both know it’s difficult for Mayweather Promotions to do business with Top Rank ditto PBC/Showtime with ESPN. It needs to develop into a more lucrative fight.
