Commentator Antonio Tarver is worried that Gervonta Davis will stop competing or taking high -level opposition after giving a “$ 30-40 million” Fight against Jake Paul on November 14 in their collision in the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Paul’s impact on Davis
With the money Gervonta (30-0-1, 28 COs) make for the fight against social media giant Jake Paul (12-1, 7 COs), it could take away the remaining ambition he has where he will retire.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the fortune of tank is estimated ‘$ 10 million,’ which is far below those of the less capable fighter Ryan Garcia, who has a fortune of $ 50 million. To fight Jake, Tank Davis’s net worth can shoot near where Ryan’s is. This is the kind of money you don’t want to keep working unless you are one of the fighters who enjoy competing.
A new kind of fighter
“It’s a new day and age in box. These guys chase the bag. They want the suitcase, and that’s the motivation, ‘commentator Antonio Tarver said Fight Hub TVTalk about the way the sport has changed to where fighters are now money hungry, and do not want to prove that they are the best.
If Tank is paid $ 40 million for a fight against Paul, he may not be eager to return to 135 and pay $ 7 million to defend his WBA title against Lamont Roach in a Rematch. The fight will be hard work, and it would be a huge wage reduction for Davis. This is one of the problems with fighters.
Once they get a taste of the big money in a mega battle, they get spoiled and foolishly accept that they have to get the same money for every fight. They then wait for a long stretch for another huge pay day to fall into their lap. The inactivity leads to a loss of skills and popularity. They do not get the big payday, erode their skills and sink their careers.
Legacy vs. wealth
“If Tank’s boxing career is over because of the Jake Paul fight, it would be sad for boxing,” Tarver said. “If he earns more than $ 30 to 40 million, I don’t know what he’s doing after that. Does he come back to box and defend the titles? I don’t know. Was the Lamont Roach the last time we saw Tank in a championship fight? ‘
It is unrealistic to assume that Gevonta will ever fight Roach again, because it would be too great pay. The battles that will pay for the tank are this:
- Shakur Stevenson
- Ryan Garcia
- Jaron Ennis
- Theofimo lopez
- Devin Haney
“If he fights against Jake Paul, will he ever come to boxing again or have the desire to fight any of these big names? If his career ends today, what can we say then? ‘ Tarver said about Tank Davis. “If he gets the suitcase of Jake Paul, what? Is he just going to drive in the sunset and be Gervonta Davis? ‘
Tank is likely to continue to fight after the Jake Paul battle. He will fight against Shakur, Ryan, Theofimo or Haney for the right wallet.
“I don’t know what the Bok game will look like if he never fights against one of the guys we know what his true abilities could have shown,” Tarver said.
