    His dream of fighting in York Hall might yet be realized.

    He isnt the 1st and he wont be the last. I dont know whats going on with these American promoters but it just feels like they are all trying to protect cash cows by not letting them fight very much, just 1 cash grab cherry pick a year.

    Eddie will be the saviour. People talking about demons and all that wierd stuff on here when the promoters are litereally crushing the neck of this sport through personal greed and agendas. Eddie will kill the promoter demons and shine the light back on fair priced top quality action in this once great blue collar sport.

    TJ Dillashaw called his dumbass out after Tank said he wanted to fight “The guy that beat Cody”


    What happened with that?

    Hearn can't save him if Mayweather doesn't want to let go. Tank need to talk some sense into Floyd and get some fights instead of letting him waste his youth on the shelf.

    Can someone explain to me why Spence, Charlos, Hurd, Tank, Breazeale etc are not fighting regularly?


    They fight like once a year, and if they hold a belt it's only a routine defence anyway.



    That's why the criticism of Hearn/DAZN astounds me......

    "Hearn only puts on mismatches" would be a step up from not having them fight at all.

    In this (undeclared) war between Showtime and DAZN I don't understand one thing... Why his promoter (Mayweather) and Showtime can't keep Tank busy? He definitely wants to fight more often than once a year...

    Probably because they had a falling out, and Floyd wants to make him pay.
    I predict a simular situation as Mikey suffered.

    Mayweather does not produce enough high profile content/shows to give Davis the kind of schedule he should be keeping as a young rising star in the sport. Even though Davis is a 2 time champion he should still be being showcased no less than 3 times a year to build his brand/expand his profile. Just my opinion, but a diamond in the rough like Davis should be promoted by either Hearn or Arum. Dedicated elite level promoters that do nothing else but promote.

    Know then the secret of Haymon. There is a breach between the worlds. The evil emperor Galaxor is poised to invade. Only by Earth sending a champion to fight their champion and defeat them can catastrophe be averted. Charlo, Spence, Hurd, Tank, they're not inactive, they are crossing the divide and fighting monstrous demons in the seventh dimension. This must be the truth for the only alternative is they have really crappy representation.

    DAZN being new is what is making fighters think twice. I think many are being advised that DAZN may not be around for long so why take a risk with the newcomer?

    I dont understand why fighters do not want to go somewhere where they will be guaranteed dates. Go to Matchroom/Dazn and you will fight minimum 3 times a year.

    Hearn made Floyd an offer to co-promote Davis and TMT turned it down.

    Gervonta is unhappy and wants to be fighting

    Might be because they are actually all hype and the more fights they have the more likely they will be exposed. There are still great American boxers but as a whole the standard has dropped off a cliff and other countries standards are skyrocketing. In my opinion The US is trying to project itself as the worlds best. They are desperately trying to keep the image of boxing strong. However it is all smoke and mirrors. Were a host of their fighters exposed in quick succession their could be no denying that years of underfunding there grass roots system has decimated the sport over there. Tank may be a great boxer but if he fails it's another fighter, of a rapidly diminishing pool, that could hold up the sport on the scrap heap.
