    I respect them having been in the business because they ensure fighters get too dollars and keep most of the money generated. Say what you will about Al Haymon but having witnessed how boxing chewed up and dealt with his late brother Bobby he swore if he ever got involved in boxing he would make sure the fighters were looked after properly. Unlike a lot of others in the game when Paul Williams got paralysed they did not bail on him but look after him even until today.

    JT is the king. He dictates.

    It's only different if Tank prices himself out.

    If Tank wants that glory, he gets dictated to. Otherwise he is left nursing his pretend belt.

    If you managed JT’s career he won’t make money maybe the belts will keep him warm at night while Tank builds generational wealth. To each their own.

    Doesn't matter.

    Taylor has enough money that he'll never have to fight again if he doesn't want to.

    But he's proved himself the number 1 in the world. Tank is a pretender in Taylor's division.

    If he wants that shot at glory, he dances to whatever tune Taylor plays.

    Never in boxing history has a 4 belt champion took less than a challenger to defend his belt, Davis isn't a big enough name to pretend to be an a side against JT.

    One is available on PPV, the other on Subscription based cable

    The Mayweather model has served Tank well financially

    He dont need to fight JT as he can take less risks and still earn PPV cash

    I hate it but its the reality

    Im Taylors biggest fan but he for me personally its a 50/50 split at best for him

    It’s only a 50:50 purse split if Tank decided to be generous to JT and neither he or Mayweather Promotions won’t be charitable.

    The split is whatever Taylor wants it to be, and then Tank can decide if he wants to risk his health for the glory or not.

    If Tank ducks, that's on him. Let him be a guy content to never prove he's the best.

    None of this is relevant, who is A-side, who dictates to who etc. The fight's not going to happen. It's a shame, it would be an interesting fight and would give Tank the chance to add to the one legit world title he's won so far....
