Tank would not be as big as he is now without TMT breh
He was on the Floyd Connor Undercard
They forced him kicking N screaming to fight Pedraza
They took him to UK for a big Mando
They made him an attraction in ATL… they put him on All access … they dealt with all his behind the scenes bs N helped him get his mind right… where was Tank headed before he stayed in Vegas with TMT?? He was missing weight N getting into all types of trouble… he made the move to Vegas N immediately makes 130 N hasn’t had an issue since
They put him on PPV where nobody thought he’d be successful besides Ellerbe N Floyd
Look at all the nikkas on PBC Tank jumped in popularity … You gotta give TMT they credit

Probably one of the best promoters out there.
The shyt that they were able to do with their original roster of Ishe smith, Mickey bey, love, Badou Jack of getting these guys opportunities was amazing
They guided Tank’s career perfectly. It’s underwhelming from a fans perspective, but it’s benefitted tank.
do y’all nyggas even know what a Terrible boxing promoter is? Yeah Floyd has a tendency to talk about when he use to fight but there’s way more that goes into a promotion then that

I think they just caught him in a moment where he was feeling good and didn’t want to complain. Def not a good look though, I wonder when this was recorded.

Agree. I respect Tank for not sugar coating that shyt and running the same old shyt that most people would. Also, that's a lose lose situation for him if he says he wants the big fights and they didn't give them to him'.
Gillie kinda foul for asking that question, everyone knows the answer and it does nothing but stir controversy at the expense of Tank, whichever way he answers it.
I get why he asked it, but at the same time his promoters have padded his career perfectly. He's now set up to be able to fight the big names if he chooses to (and importantly if they want to), but do so having built a perfect lead in to this stage of his career (from a no losses perspective and experience perspective.)

Lol stop kidding, Mayweather Promotions did a good job building Tank to a name but they are a small player compared to TR, the two are not the same league. None of these star amateurs wanted to sign to Floyd either, all went to Arum.
Whether Bud signs to Mayweather or just be a free-agent that employs Haymon as a manager/advisor is whatever, the point for him is to be within the PBC realm for the rest of his career cause PBC has Spence and most of the 154 guys
