    Yeah because you're so generous to all of those Eastern European power punchers, who are really just "setting traps" looking for the KO punch, as they lose round after round after round.:lol: Newsflash you loon, that won't work one of these days, because he'll be in there with a fighter who can take his power. So in the 12th round, after he's given up the last 11, and he's desperately going for the KO which never comes, everyone will be completely justified when they say, Tank was exposed, he was completely undressed, he didn't win a round, man... that was a schooling. Because it will be.

    If he were a complete boxer puncher, he'd win rounds before eventually timing his reckless opponent, not lose most of them. At the end of the day, that strategy only works, because of his power.... that he has to bail him out. FACTS.

    This wouldn't surprise me so much because after the fight I got texts from 5 different people, some who never watch boxing and most who rarely watch it. I was kinda surprised.

    Also multiple people at my work were talking about it.

    I don't remember the last fight that had this much average person/casual interest from my own personal experience.

    So I will be kinda surprised if it didn't do 1 million.

    The only thing is it's just so insanely easy to steal streams now. Whatever the official number winds up being you can pretty much bet like 5 times as many people actually tuned in, and that it would have been even higher numbers back in the day where streaming it wasn't so effortless.

    This thread is full of actual legitimate haters, it’s frankly weird AF. People say you’re “hater” but rarely is a it true, not here though.

    Difficult to say. But, if this shows fighters that fighting better opposition results in bigger Pay days, maybe it was a good thing for boxing, regardless of who brought in the viewers. Even a purist such as yourself can appreciate that.

    This is false. This was not just because Ryan. This was because of both! Had Ryan been fighting anyone else, it wouldn't have been close to those numbers. If Ryan was capable of these numbers alone, then he would have been did ppv.

    This is laughable. Tank has been selling out every venue he's fought at. All the big celebrities come out to see Tank, not Garcia! DId Garcia help sale? Yes he did, but Tank is clearly the bigger star. Tank gave Garcia his biggest pay ever. Garcia has never even headline his own ppv before. Tank is the new cash cow.

    No. Canelo will be the cash cow until he retires. Not even close.

    Well in his fights he is not losing the rounds when you check the scorecards. Just maybe Tank, Coach Calvin Ford,, Coach Kenny Ellis, Floyd, Leonard Ellerbe and I know more about boxing and how fights are scored than you. I know you think you know but you just prove you don’t **** about boxing. EE boxers don’t need you to defend them they do a good enough job on their own. The big difference between you and I is when the guys I favour and I support lose I congratulate the other side. I am not bitter and twisted like you. When Usyk beat a better AJ in the rematch I congratulated him giving the rightly deserved praise that he did things I had not seen a heavyweight do since my hero Ali. You pray and dream for Tank to lose. Tough luck and keep dreaming dummy.

    Some of you MoFo's are acting as if you get share of Tank's purse.
