Lamont Roach still gets many miles out of the 12-round draw he had earlier this year against WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis on March 1.
Roach (25-1-2, 10 food) complains the tank “Disrespected” he. He does not say what Davis said or did to upset him, except to ignore his attempts to get a rematch immediately.
Life of a draw
Realistically, Roach should be grateful to Davis for the hand of the Super Featherweight section to defend his WBA lightweight title by in March. He doesn’t have to. Roach was not arranged at 135 and did not hit anyone in the lightweight section to earn a title shot. Tank did him a favor, and he must be grateful.
“There are many people I could care less about, and he did them. We were cordial but he did not respect me, ‘Lamont Roach said InsidingHowTo talk about Gervonta Davis who did something that caused him not to respect, although he did him a great favor by choosing him from the 130 pound division.
Fans on social media believe Roach on a ‘Sign tour,’ By constantly drawing up the name of Tank Davis to pay attention to himself on a second -hand attention. They are Get tired of Roach constantly with the name and consider it his way to artificial Increase its status without having to earn This is the difficult way by beating top lightweights like Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason and Shakur Stevenson.
What ‘disrespect’ really means here
“He didn’t respect me. Personally, I don’t. I don’t play like that. Don’t respect me, and I don’t respect you. I understand that this is a sport. You can get up the fight, but don’t take respect, ‘says Roach.
Roach wanted the second fight, and you can’t blame him. He allegedly earned $ 1.5 million to $ 1.7 million from the fight against Gervonta. This is money that is not expected to come to the WBC Interim Light Welterweight Champion Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz (28-3-1, 18 CO’s) on Amazon Prime PPV in the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas on December 6, 2025.
Roach’s estimated wallet for that fight is $ 500,000. This is a fight that Roach could lose very well, which would lead to its stock.
The $ 40 million tank went on
Rather than giving Roach a rematch, Davis chose to take a much bigger fight against Jake Paul, which will earn him an estimated $ 40 million wallet. The money is much more than he would fight, which is nowhere as popular as Jake.
It is understandable from Gervonta’s perspective why he chose the fight against Paul rather than reviewing a fight against Roach. Financially, it is not worth taking the re -broadcast. It doesn’t pay off.
