Tank Gervonta Davis vs Tartan Tornado Josh Taylor looks highly possible

He aint

But as you will

Belts come second these days over income

 

Still doesn't matte.

Tank can cry a side all he wants, but he only gets the status if JT allows.

Taylor might just fight for the money and take any split he can, or he might tell Tank to get on line and accept a mandatory split.

Tank dictates nothing in the situation.

 

Sure

 

Who do you think. Was the A Side when AJ fought Charles Martin?

 

AJ

Had one PPV behind him

Made money, filled venues

 

And yet Martin had a bigger purse that night as the champion.

 

Quite different scenarios

Basically bought the Belts that night

One of the conditions was to fight in UK



Who do you think wanted that? Martin?

No, the A side team said it had to be part of the terms

Martin conceded as it was the only way he could earn that kind of cash

Was never earning that in America so took it and run

Some A side

 

But it's not different. Martin went were the most money was available, and got a larger amount of that money.

This is what I'm saying, the whole a side speil doesn't really matter if you want to be a champion.

When you become a champion, fair enough, but on your way up it doesn't count for as much, because as well as being prize fighting, it's still a sport at the end of the day.

 

Its a sport that is dictated by business decisions and not achievements anymore

So we'll just have to disagree

 

But it isn't, that's the point.

Martin still got the bigger purse. Taylor can easily tell Tank to settle for his mandatory split if he wants.

Tank is not in a position to dictate **** to Taylor or Lopez.

Jake Paul makes bigger purses than Terrence Crawford, he wouldn't dictate **** to him neither.

You're staunch belief that PPV buys and previous purses is all that counts is quite sad to see. Where the appreciation of the sporting merit?

 

How many times have i expressed my disappointment in how the sport works during our debate?

Quite a few

Yet you still think i prefer it that way and thats all that counts?

I've said on numerous occasions i prefer the sport aspect, i like you view boxing as a comp and one with physical prizes and history

But networks, promotions and even boxers these days see them as a marketing tool, a prop to an extent

You think Espinoza would choose between PPV buys or a title?

That attitude rubs downwards to fighters

Connor Benn shouted "PPV baby" after his last win

Think he has his mind on titles? Or more what his promoter and advisors are saying to him??

 

You saying you think Tank deserves a bigger purse than JT is exactly part of the problem.

Boxing needs more people saying no to this ****.

 

Aha, where have i said Tank deserves a bigger purse?

Key word being deserves

 

Wrong choice of word.

But saying Tank is in the driving seat in negotiations, when he would be going up against the undisputed champion.

When all Tank truly deserves is what his minor belt allows him in terms of purse split, when turning down that split also turns down his title shot, when everyone knows to be the best LWW you have to beat JT.
