🤦🏿 so Teo is happy to be on the undercard of Tank and not the fact that Tank is fighting a damn fat LHW instead of the 3 damn champions in his weight class or Lamont Roach or even Teo lol. Plus lol who tf would he even fight on this undercard, if it's not a unification fight nobody will care.

Given he said "in an exhibition" that basically opens the door to him fighting any celebrity regardless of size difference.

Teo was also asking for a fight on another influencer card a few days ago.
Why tf is he out here begging for a job when he supposedly accepted a fight with Shakur lmao

He doesn't want to fight Shakur

Shakur is so good imo. I can see why people swerve him, at the same time…he’s only gonna beat you on points realistically. It’s not gonna fuck your career up a points loss.

Because Teofimo has half a brain cell, and it’s his father’s.

He somehow took his son to the world level. That takes some form of intelligence.

Because the dude burnt 🔥 every bridge 🌉 with the Saudi’s and now he has no other option to make big money 💰

Dude is wasting his career away.
Turned down fighting Brian Norman Jr and Devin Haney plus Shakur and he also has unification fights that could be made at 140.

And this sub constantly clowns Shakur when he is literally supposed to be a unified 4 division champ with multiple fighters that were on the p4p list on his resume, but they refuse to fight him.
This is why he should be top 5 p4p. At some point, blatant ducking has to be considered p4p.

It’s all about the money. It’s all about the MF money.
It’s sad to say but. The Zuffa Boxing promotion is probably boxing’s last saving grace at fixing it and bringing a sense of normalcy.

Not really a mystery. Teo's eyes saw dollar signs, so he's chasing after an easy bag.

u/kushmonATL Inoue and Crawford up next in Sept 🔥💪🏾 16h ago
That'll be nice Teo if you actually fought someone worth while!

u/CookingFun52 10h ago
Now that he saw Tank get that fight, I 100% believe Teo's priorities shifted to getting a fight with Paul next so he can get the retirement bag
Jake Paul about to clear out 135-140 just by writing checks

These new gen boxers are soft, none of them fight the best in their weight class. There’s only a few who will but the majority try to duck and dodge now this fool wants to fight on a clown show card smh.

u/Blackwatermerc2 9h ago
At least make this event respectable (as much as it can be) and put teo vs shakur/roach or some high level match up then the winner fights Davis.

He is terrified of fighting on a Turki card after what he said about him. Doesn't want to end up like that journalist.

actually ALL boxing is exhibition. every time a boxer is robbed we are told to accept that it's just entertainment. therefore, there is no "legit" version of the sport.
