    He will definitely stop Haney who can try and make it a difficult boring fight until Tank gets to him and separates him from his senses. Shakur though will be the more difficult technical fight but that will ultimately come down to more than talent and will bring out the best in both. In fact Tank and Shakur might recapture Hearns vs Leonard and Leonard vs Duran 1.

    It’s called prize fighting. You must not begrudge boxers maximising the green print. In fact it’s morally wrong if they don’t in my opinion.

    If the fight sold that much, how much did the fighters make I wonder?

    We will see how his next PPV looks as I think Ryan brought in 75% of the viewers based on his follower’s

    Yeah sure a guy who had never done 1 single PPV his whole career until he now fights Tank a proven PPV attraction and you assume he brings in 75% of the audience a guy who has never sold out an arena. Yeah sure use that as a warm comfort blanket if it makes you happy.

    I honestly don’t give 2 FKs and don’t suck baby juice off the tip of any fighter.

    I’m looking at this from historical data that shows Tank average PPV buys. As you said it takes two to make a thing go right or tango. I’m sure the Garcia fan girls and boys who follow him pushed these numbers way up as it was not the actual fight.

    Tank is on a roll and I hope he continues to test himself and may his next opponent be a step up in level.

    Stop your whining you lil ***** nobody is begrudging Tank for getting a payday.

    Tank is in a good place right now and if he plays it smart he can become a "PPV star" but if his next fight does a fraction of what this one did don't come here crying and blaming "the haters".

    You are quite clearly thick if you don’t understand Tank is already a PPV Star and multimillionaire. He has been earning millions of dollars for years on PPV but on Saturday he earned more than $60 Million dollars and counting he may even earn close to or up to $80 Million once all the money is in.

    So averaging about 200PPV buys(prior to this fight) makes you a "PPV Star" in your eyes?

    I know you have trouble but averaging 250,000-350,000 buys on PPV at todays higher pricing points are very good respectable numbers generating millions of dollars in revenues.

    So Spence is a "PPV Star"?

    "respectable numbers" are not the same as "PPV star" you Neanderthal.
