Tank has vacated his WBA regular belt at 140.

Hopefully WBA don’t create another.

He will remain at 135.

Somebody kick the turntable.

My biggest takeaway is that Tank appears to be a bit vulnerable to the body, and he seriously hurt his hand in the 10th at 1:57, even though both Tank and Cruz claim it was mid fight. Tank kept throwing it until a minute into the 10th. He was impressive winning the 12th one handed.

Diaz v Cruz in 2022, please.

Gervonta Davis event rakes in cash as Pay Per View buys remain secret

The Pay Per View results of Gervonta Davis vs. Isaac Cruz remain a mystery. What is apparent is that the event made a ton of gate cash.

According to the California State Athletic Commission, Davis vs. Cruz took in $3.7 million in revenue on the night.

The receipts make the fight one of the most successful of 2021.

But Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, believes the revenue still won’t be enough to stop the detractors from wanting the Pay Per View numbers published.

Reports range from anywhere between 100,000 and 200,000 for Tank’s latest offering. However, Ellerbe repeatedly defends the sales to irrelevant social media and YouTube outlets.

“Bet you won’t see any vids and pods talking about this gate revenue [of $3.7m],” pointed out Ellerbe. “They are still lying about a made-up 50k PPV number that can’t nobody prove.

“You won’t find not one real manager or promoter saying nothing. But Tank is a big-time attraction. Remember Tank is from the East Coast,” he added.

On the Twitter attention Ellerbe seems keen on pandering to, Floyd Mayweather‘s right-hand man stated: “The Twitter haters will say it’s [the $3.7m] a typo, and he’s still not an attraction.

“More importantly, they will say the [California State Athletic] Commission is lying! Oh well.”

Clearly the PPV flopped, or else Ellerbe would tell us the PPV numbers.

[caldo2025]

Numbers for PPV are only kept hidden when disastrous. That tells us all that we need to know. You don’t go up against the NFL. That was a cocky and foolish decision.

I don't see how that much could be made on the gate. Do they mean all up-gate+ppv?
