Loma v Tank is the fight we all want to see, but can it make big money ?

    Loma v Tank would be amazing and it has to happen soon, not when both fighters are older and have many more losses.

    But casuals are more interested in the Paul brothers than proper boxing fights with the best.

    Can Loma v Tank be marketed to make decent money ?

    I dont think it happens, why would Loma move up, when he still got at least 3 good fights (Lopez, Haney, Garcia) at his weight

    AND he's fighting at 135 which is 5 pounds over his best weight anyway. Tank walks around at 160+; 140 is a bridge too far for Loma.
    And yes he has three possible good fights with the guys you mentioned.

    That pointless fight with Cruz did 200k sales on PPV.
    Fair to say that a PPV with Loma would easily do 300k. Add the gate and you have over 20mil in revenue.
