    Tank isn't a champion.

    Well Tank has the WBA regular which gets him 40% of the purse against the WBA super, or something like that.
    I'm sure either man would fight Tank for 60%

    I think your economics is wrong for starters. Tank is the A side who gets the Lions share. He earned upwards of more than $50 Million for the Ryan Garcia fight and Garcia himself made between $30-$40 Million. With those facts established if Haney or Teo want to make serious money they can come over but if you think they will get even 50% of the purse you are dreaming. The WBA don’t dictate to the A-side who sets the terms. The problem with fans is they don’t understand the business side. If you want to be the A-side the best chance yo7 have is to fight and beat the A-side.

    buddy when Floyd brought up the Loma fight in front of tank that boy crapped his pants, stop capping tank at 24 was saying we gonna wait until Loma 40 to fight, yet devin Haney at 21 was calling out loma and made his drop his title to duck.. tank is a chump the man said out his own mouth he has never tried or asked to fight any of the top fighters.. tank an attraction like a circus act he not no real fighter.. but you Tank fans are amazing to me, the man isn’t a champion, don’t fight champions, don’t fight guys rated in the top 5-10, consistently got excuses why he can’t fight guys. Yet somehow his meat riding fans swear he a killer.. that boy Tank weak and if you co-sign tank you weak as hell also

    Bro stop capping Showtime boss said during tank Ryan fight week they not offering Devin Haney because they ain’t got no fights for him, they also said last week during the press conference for Bud vs Spence that they looking for a issac Cruz Rollie Romero type of bum for tank to fight. This man ducking smoke his team a bunch of clout chasers and vultures trying to get publicity off other guys name that he not gonna fight. Haney been available for years and been calling him out

    No he is not the fight is there to be made. Of course if he signs up they would want some options on him why not. That’s business. Many ways to turn down a fight.

    We want to see the best fight the best. If Tanks wants to fight the champion he has to accept the champions terms.

    It's really that simple. Whatever Haney is OK with, Tank either accepts and challenges the champ, or doesn't and carries on making mismatches pretending to be a champion.

    Tank sets the terms. Let that reality set in. If Haney wants to make money he knows the number but if he is afraid he can keep running.

    But he doesn't, it's why he still isn't recognised as a world champion.

    He's marketed himself to a position where he can command 40%+ in a title shot so fair play to him for that.

    I hope you are legitimately on the PBC payroll because otherwise shilling like this is just sad.

    You can make all the money in the world but that doesn't entitle you to the respect of any fan. I'm sure Tank and Al Haymon couldn't care less about what the schlubs on this board think, but just repeating "he's the a side he makes the most money" over and over doesn't prove or disprove anything about Tank's abilities or resume.

    I don't hate Tank but his career is nothing to write home about in terms of things I actually respect in a boxer, which big paydays have nothing to do with.

    He commands more than his opponents full stop. If you think Haney who has no pulling power will get the lions share of the purse against the PPV King then you are in dream land.

    You seem to not be able to differentiate between anything other than praise and "hate."

    I don't hate tank. you repeating it doesn't make it true. His career has been really slow moving and unimpressive to me that's just my assessment as a boxing fan. The Ryan Garcia fight was a good statement barrios fight good win santa cruz was a highlight knockout but he was losing rounds before that and Leo is a featherweight.

    Tank is a good fighter and you won't find any posts of me on here saying he's gonna get exposed he sucks anything like that. So I don't see where you get off saying it's obvious I hate him.

    Like when I post about tank and pbc it's clear I'm trying to see both sides, not looking to **** on any fighters, and don't have any sort of loyalty to particular fighters or promotions.

    You, on the other hand... Say one remotely critical thinking about al haymon or PBC. I bet you won't. You clearly pathologically defend PBC and it's fighters regardless of circumstances or context.

    Like legit I'm asking if you're on their payroll in some capacity or getting supported by someone who is. Not saying you're paid to shill on here tho nothing would surprise me these days.
