[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Tank Davis

[stadus]

We cannot compare the boxing legend Floyd Mayweather with this scammer Tank Davis. Also, what does everyone speculate on why the scammer Tank has signed a contract to fight the big Jake Paul? I reckon that this is certainly because the ratings on Tank is dumping. After his loss, yes it was a loss, against Lamont Roach, no one anymore wants to pay to watch his fights. The judges in his fight against Lamont were corrupt.

If Jake Paul will lose this fight, I very much wish will be something similar to the scammer Tank's fight against Lamont Roach. This will again be proof that Tank is a scammer.

Whatever the speculations are, it’s hard to blame Tank for saying yes to that kind of offer, it’s easy money for him. Jake Paul isn’t a real championship fight anyway, so maybe Tank’s just being practical, earning good money without putting his title at risk.

As for his situation with Lamont Roach, that can probably be settled with a rematch, or if not, he’ll fight another quality boxer soon. This Jake Paul fight feels more like a side hustle, something he just couldn’t resist. That’s greed for money, not a move for greatness  unlike Terence Crawford, who actually chases legacy.

I'm confused. I'm not sure if I missed something or if I just don't follow much about his career. Would you mind elaborating on why Tank Davis is a scammer? Did something happen recently that made him a "scammer"? Was this "scammer" label connected to Ryan Garcia vs. Tank Davis?

The scammer Tank Davis is a scammer because he uses the contract to have the first advantage over his opponent. Yes, he used this on King Ry and we can be certain that he has been using this on his other opponents also.

He might have used this on Lamont Roach and what has happened on the fight? Lamont has won this, however, Tank should thanks the judges that they are corrupt and gave the victory to him.

That is what A-sides have always done since the early days of prize fighting. Tank just gets more hate because he has not had the accomplishments inside the ring to deserve being so highly paid and being so disproportionately favored when contracts are negotiated. He has been coddled and protected by promoters, TV networks and sanctioning organizations.

He has had it easy his whole career while many other talented fighters have gotten screwed over. Even notorious cherry pickers like Canelo and Mayweather fought some of the best fighters of their generation and did enough early in their careers to justify some of their preferential treatment.

Tank has also done some awful things outside the sport, which has earned him plenty of scorn.

It looks like Jake Paul has his next opponent. He will be fighting Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition match in Atlanta on November 15th. Interesting that Gervonta wants this to be an exhibition fight. I wonder if that is due to weight class issues or if he’s worried he’ll lose. Anyway, the next boxing spectacle has been set.

The weight difference is huge, even though Jake isn’t a top-level fighter, he has some experience and a decent punch, so weight can matter in this case. Tank wouldn’t mind making money from this fight, but he has no reason for it to affect his ranking. If he were confident that he could beat Jake, he might not have set such a condition, but here the categories are different and punching power can vary.

Jake has the poundag height and wingspan on Tank and its crazy lol. But hey its all about money with Jake Paul and he means business thst smart mother effa lol. Love him or hate him he has a good killer instinct!

It was reported that Jake Paul is exploring the option of looking for a possible replacement for Tank because of Davis issue. And one name that keeps popping up is Ryan Garcia. But Oscar Dela Hoya, Ryan's manager shot down that idea.

It's not that he doesn't want to have Ryan getting another good paycheck. But his reasons is that Ryan fights other DAZN while Jake Paul is on Netflix. In short, it's all about business for Dela Hoya.

But not sure if this is the only reason though. It could be that he really doesn't like Jake Paul and doesn't want to give him another millions.

Netflix has announced that the fight is delayed. Better say cancelled, as those who have purchased tickets will get a refund within 14-21 days. I dont think that Netflix wants to risk and accept someone on short notice, pay Jake his huge bill and get less than expected response from audience (new subscriptions, ads  contract perhaps would be reconsidered in lower reward side and etc), in exchange money they spent.

They need to create a big hype for this fight so that they could get more bigger revenue. If they push this fight to happen without getting any getting huge attention they might lose a lot from this fight.

But I have great feelings that they could get big sales in this fight. Jake annd Davis is well known personalities. Maybe they need more time to promote and get exposure to many boxing fans around the world.

For sure Netflix know what to do that'a why they didn't push the fight ro happen. They need more time to promote this site and get more  sales and sponsorships.

Yes, for now it looks like it's cancelled, but it could also be similar to Mike Tyson's fight wherein, if my memory serves me right, Jake got a replacement fighter and then move the fight to another day when Tyson was cleared by his doctor to continue to train and fight Jake. So let's see, Ryan Garcia? it could be a good fight as Ryan needed a win as he was upset by Romero. But it could be true what Oscar said that at the end of line, it's business for them. So it could be a good decision by Jake to let everyone knows that this fight is delayed or cancelled for now.

You have explained my argument for me. If the scammer Tank has an easy career and if he is also getting much more money because of this then he is very much similar to an ICO scammer where he will hype the fight, make it certain that the contract has a clause for his advantage, collect all of his fans' money and the fight will end in a knockout, however, this did not help create a legacy. It was a scam.

I ask you to compare this person Tank to a person called the Pacman. Who is the scammer and who is the real boxer?

This will be a very interesting fight, considering the different weight classes. Gervonta once said that boxing is already dead, and he himself will leave the sport after the fight with Paul. Maybe he's right to do so. You can't always stay in the spotlight. Fame and money are great, but there's a limit to everything. So I have no doubts about not trusting Davis's words. Knowing when to retire—that's also something you have to know.

I think Tank realized that the shame that would come along with getting knocked out by Jake Paul isn’t worth the money (which I doubt). This wasn’t a great fight for boxing. I’m somewhat glad it isn’t happening. Jake Paul seems like he has been fighting long enough now that he can start working his way up the ladder of legitimate fighters.

[FinneysTrueVision]

I am glad that Tank won’t be getting a payday. After this latest scandal his career might be over. The rumored replacements that could take the place of Tank are guys like Ryan Garcia, Anthony Joshua and some retired fighters like Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather. AJ is just a shell of his former self but I still think he is too good for Jake and would knock him out. Jake will probably select somebody who is well known but who is lower risk.

I think Floyd wont play this game twice. He has already fought Jakes brother, and it will be hard to repeat hype and get same $ numbers again. Floyd is crazy about money and now, wont agree to get less or put more effort for same money. In fact it was announced (or it were rumours) that he will be fighting Pacman again. Definitely not Floyd. AJ does not look like a guy who will be agree for such a fight. He isnt much of a media person. Imho he would prefer an exhibition fight against a real challenge, than close to world of boxing Jake. Garcia looks like a perfect candidate. Huge media background, a boxer. But has he solved his mental/drugs/manager issues ?

I do agree, I don't think that he will go with the likes of Ward and AJ, still a big risk for him as those two are going to be big. Probably another former boxer that will not be a threat for him.

As for Tank, he will have to regroup and just play pro boxer, no need to come up with this kind of exhibition matches. He needs to rematch Roach, or fight Shakur and he will still get the payday that he wanted.

No more Tank Davis so Jake Paul has lined up a fight with Nate Diaz to fill the contract spot with Netflix. I can’t say I’m excited about this one. Their first fight wasn’t exactly exciting television and I don’t think anyone cares about a rematch between these two. They should’ve switched it to MMA. That would be worth tuning in for.

[TopTort777]

Nate Diaz... That is really what nobody has expected or want to see. With Nate attitude of I dont care, that is not going to be an exciting boxing match. Sometimes I am even mad at Nate, when he prefer to slap, punch, and instead of finishing his opponent, show hands wide open and have expression on face showing who is the boss here. Last time Nate knocked someone in the ring or octagon was 2013. Jake better have signed Woodley and knock him out second time

So another wash up former MMA fighter for Jake huh? For sure fans are not going to be excited to see this fight. Although Nate Diaz could be a good trash talker and might attract some MMA fans to watch, but I don't think it will live to the hype of Jake Paul.

I guess he can't top the Mike Tyson fight. Unless his dance partner will be like Canelo Alvarez or someone bigger than him in boxing.
