And it seems this is also the way Tank Davis is going with his career, not to sign with Floyd and be a freelancer so that he can make his own fight. Fight that we fans deserved, after all, we are the one bringing the money for these top boxers so they understand if we didn't get the fight we wanted.
We missed the 80's and 90's boxing where the best only meet the best now fighters within the same promotion are the ones fighting each other and they don't care about boxers from the other side, like what's happening to UFC and WWE where you cannot fight fighters from other promotions, that is bad for boxing, the boxing organizations should step and allow inter promotions so the best fighter will only fight the best.
Yes, that was a bad ass era, lots of great boxers facing each other without any question because of their machismo, they want to proved who is the best. But time has change, boxing is now control by few promoters and networks that they can control which fight is going to happen. And unless there are millions in the table, they are not willing to put the best boxers against each other.
That's true, especially if both fighters are popular just like these two boxers, this deserves millions of revenue. We all know that boxing is a business and entertainment, so we cannot just easily see a fight we wanted if the promoter does not see a potential to give him the income he expected.
