    Floyd & Ellerbe say one thing. Belts, ratings & money say otherwise.

    Teofimo would be the A side.

    I hate to say it but the difference between the Charlo and Tank PPV numbers shows that even the vague involvement of Floyd carries some weight in terms of getting people to actually pay money to watch a fight.

    That’s a good point but I have to think Teofimo would bring more fans. I would have said Davis was probably the A side prior to the Loma fight.

    Exactly. Loma was considered by some to be P4P number 1. And, Lopez just beat him, that for me is far more likely to get me to part with my money than just being associated with Flloyd.

    Teofimo is the real A side. He has fought better opposition than Davis has, in less fights.
