Gervonta 'Tank' Davis does not believe that the Saudis will succeed in their attempt to create a boxing league that will unite all the advertising companies.
Tank feels that different activists will not agree with this idea. Golden Boy Promotions and Matchroom are two companies that the Saudis are reportedly discussing about creating a league.
A Threat to the Built Stars
He could be right. Promoters protect their fighters by matching them against insurmountable opposition in order to make rare productions as good as they seem.
“That will not happen because everyone does not agree; they are not all on the same page. That could have happened,” said Gervonta Davis in the media when asked about his thoughts on the Saudis who are interested in establishing a boxing league with all promoters working together.
The Illusion of Greatness
In a regulated boxing league like the UFC, fans would see the best fights, and it would help the sport. However, it will also hurt the advertising companies because their fighters will be in the crowd and not in protected, private situations where they are fed cans of tomatoes to make them look good. Everything is false in most cases.
In the league it would not be possible to pull the wool over the eyes of the public because the battles would not be an arrangement involving a certain victory. Boxing can be regulated and run like a regular sport, like the NFL, NBA, and NHL.
It would be great for the fans, but it would really scare the promoters who fake fighters to make them look better than they are. Many fighters can see their careers decline.
The Tanker's Career Is In Danger
Top Rank and PBC will need to support it, but they may not want to. For Tank Davis, it would be very shocking how he is matched up if he is forced to fight better competition, and his career could go down if he has to fight against talented lightweights. If Tank Davis had been fighting for the best all these years, he probably would have lost on his resume, and he wouldn't have attracted PPV.
The top position would need to match fighters like Teofimo Lopez against the best instead of fighters like Steve Claggett, and his career could quickly evaporate.
“Yeah, sure,” Tank said when asked if he'd like to go unopposed at 135. “Probably the eighth or ninth round,” Tank said, predicting which round he will take out Frank Martin on Saturday.
“No, that was a crazy decision I made,” said Tank Davis when asked if part of being the 'Face of Boxing' required attendance at arrivals and other similar media events. “After the war I will keep taking pictures with people for as long as I can.
