They better send an offer Farmer's way if he really wants him cause so far they weren't keen on the idea when they got offers from Farmer's side.
If they doN't want to let Davis fight on DAZN even for that one fight then offer more to stage it, it's only fair if it's a competition, a bidding war and it's not like the fight can only happen on one channel cause otherwise one of the participants won't fight, DAZN are no fools either to just let the other team have their way even if they are the ones offering more.
Anyway... Both of these dudes need to start to fight serious competition now. Not unknowns and fringe contenders, not veterans who passed it a long time ago, not guys from lower weight divisions but actual top 10 guys.

Farmer fighting even worse comp, dude beat fukking Billy Dib for a vacant belt and then acts like he went thru a gauntlet to win a title. Tank ices him in less than 8, Tank is basically Farmer on that BALCO

Biggest baddest boss
I I think it's time for Gamboa Juan Ma lopez
I don’t think the reffing has changed, I think dude just didn’t wanna see homey get decapitated on the ropes a week after 2 young boxers died.
Refs didn’t save the guy Dereck Chisora killed last week. Ref wasn’t gonna stop Aj vs Ruiz until he made them

Gervonta Davis drew the largest viewing audience of his developing career Saturday night.
According to data Nielsen Media Research released Tuesday, Showtime’s broadcast of Davis’ second-round technical knockout of Ricardo Nunez was watched by 594,000 viewers at its peak. Their brief bout drew an average audience of 553,000.
Those figures represented a significant spike in viewership from Davis’ previous performance on Showtime. That fight – a first-round knockout of Hugo Ruiz on February 9 – produced a peak audience of 486,000 and an average audience of 429,000.

The 24-year-old knockout artist from Baltimore was a heavy favorite over Nunez and Ruiz, but neither fight lasted long enough to build much of an audience. Ruiz also was a late replacement for a well-known opponent, Abner Mares, who suffered a detached retina in sparring.
Nevertheless, Davis’ victory over Panama’s Nunez (21-3, 19 KOs), the mandatory challenger for his WBA “super” 130-pound title, produced the second-highest live viewership for a boxing match in what has been a challenging year for Showtime’s boxing brand.
Only Deontay Wilder’s spectacular first-round knockout of Dominic Breazeale drew more viewers for a Showtime fight in 2019.
A combined peak audience of 990,000 watched Wilder-Breazeale live via Showtime’s linear channel and its streaming service. Wilder-Breazeale averaged 886,000 live viewers combined through TV and streaming.
Five of Davis’ past six fights have been broadcast live by Showtime. The other of those six bouts – an eighth-round knockout of Francisco Fonseca – was part of Showtime Pay-Per-View’s Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor broadcast in August 2017.
This was just the second time, though, that Davis (22-0, 21 KOs) headlined a “Showtime Championship Boxing” broadcast. Davis’ victory over Ruiz marked his debut in a Showtime main event.
Davis’ defeat of Nunez also performed well on Showtime’s social media platforms. Clips of his TKO win drew nearly five million views through those platforms by Sunday night.
Prior to the fight, “The Rise,” a three-segment series produced for Showtime’s social media platforms, produced more than 3.5 million views.
Davis-Nunez also attracted a capacity crowd of 14,686 to Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore. Davis fought in his hometown for the first time in six years.
