Negotiations for a match up with Tank gonna be a headache/humbling experience for folks in Stevenson and Haney camp. Who gonna wanna be the B side in all of this?
Well I can see Shakur being the one accepting being the "B side" in all of this but Haney? He took a b/s deal to get those belts, no way he gonna take whatever Tank them throw at him when he got all the belts now....right

That makes absolutely no sense at all. He beat the champ to become the champ, TWICE. About to fight the former champ, who's number 2 in the division, and you want him to fight the number 5 guy in the division after that?
If the fights absolutely happen at 135 lbs, it shouldn't be that difficult. They know regardless of their statures that they would be the B side.

You right... I can't see Devin outright accepting the deal at first glance.
You're lying to yourself. All that "prizefighting" and "keeping the lights on" nonsense sounds foolish unless you're getting some of the prize or your lights are being kept on by Tank's career. No one remembers the PPV numbers or how much Hagler and Hearns purse was. I guess the last undisputed lightweight champion (Pernell) career was a wash cause he didn't knock people out and wasn't a PPV star. It don't matter how big of a star Tyson was, he still got in the ring with his contemporaries like Lennox and Evander. So at what point have you jumped off the "boxing fan" ride and settled for watching on IG to see what car Tank bought with his prize money?
@Loose gone hate on that but thats facts

I do think promotion is what it all boils down to.
I know folks who don't fool w/boxing asking me what I thought about Tank vs Garcia in the lead up to the fight. They are sports fans who hit me with the "I wanna get back into watching boxing" type of folks too and they generally know Tank and Wilder as the American boxer they first think of.
Knockouts and promotion I guess

And that's where you lost me. Nobody trying to convince you of anything. I'm just calling out how fighting Haney all of sudden brings out the moisture in his fanbase. Listen to how you respond. Ryan isn't nice with awful punching technique and fluidity. Didn't stop him from getting the fight.
And the fact that you think two black competitors can't support the others event speaks more about you than anything. Hagler had a front row seat to Leonard's "retirement" announcement. Tarver was at Roy vs Ruiz. Spence attended Crawford vs Porter. How about you grow up and ascend above goofy Stan Wars?

Them belts dont seem to matter if you the people's champ and they will to pay see you
From reading the thread it seems like Shakur/Haney should be ready to fight Tank to take his fans
As somebody who has boxed..I agree with your first sentence
When ppl use how much they spend on boxing when it comes to boxing arguments I'm just adding on to the Cypher
I'm here because I'm a true high level consumer of boxing....and there are like minded ppl who share similar takes I hold. Simple lol
This is the most @patscorpio response ever. This is how he introduces himself at Starbucks
Hahaha.....this is why folks think Tank scared. His fanbase literally twists themselves into a pretzel trying to avoid Devin. The youngest undisputed champion in history, that resides in his weight class, has to get himself hot, but a non English speaking Pitbull Cruz with no hardware and name, can get the fight on 2 weeks notice? What did Pitbull say outta his mouth to the buying public to help sell the fight? What did Hector Garcia say outta his mouth to sell the fight? Somehow, Devin the one that has to get "hot" tho?!?! Yall scared.
