However, similar to what I have said, it can be argued that he might become the face of boxing if he wins this fight. The same argument can be created for Ryan Garcia. I also reckon that it would leave a bigger impression on the fans if Ryan Garcia is the winner. The occurrence might be compared to Muhamad Ali versus Sonny Liston where Ali was the underdog hehehe.
By the present standard, no you have to be charismatic and people love you and there should be no competition, both of them can make a claim, but they have to rule their division and become its undisputed champion and you must have a claim to be pound for pound the best boxer of that time.
Fury, Inoue, and Haney can make a claim on that title if they want to have a claim of the title, this is a good start, then after that, the winner has to face Haney.
The boxers that has been mentioned can of course make some statement like they will be the next face of the industry, however, before they can do that in reality, they should prove it first by dominating the whole division and do a clean-up just like the guys who previously got the pound-for-pound title. But since Devin Haney is not yet bound for a mandatory fight and given that he can defeat Loma, I'm thinking that the undisputed fight will face Shakur Stevenson next as that's what he want and then the winner of Tank-Garcia will have to wait until it's their turn.
We can say that it can happened but more on how the camps will negotiate in between, we all know that this is
not just a sport, but also a business where promoters will probably love to gain more ticket sales.
But like what you mentioned, they can claim things or every title holder can say that they are the best or become the face of this sport
but most likely the face should be the one who keeps winning not just the fight but more on the fan base hypes.
currently all sports have become a big business and a real money making machine, promoters and the guys who manage the image of fighters in particular and athletes in general manage to maximize the revenue raised, for example currently a fighter when he has a lot of potential, the tv channels, the newspapers, the social networks just keep talking about him and on the day of the fight the promoters of the event sell a lot of tickets and also make money with transmission payments that the tv channels make, but it doesn't end there
the athlete's image managers give tips for the athlete to have many followers on social networks and with that manage to obtain many sponsorships, consequently the athlete earns money for fighting, earns money with his social networks, but it does not end there, the image managers athlete's image they also charge money for the athlete to go to a certain event like parties, for example, so the athlete also earns money just for being at a party, that's why many athletes do everything to get attention, when they are not headlines in the news channels and social networks so there is no sponsorship. I wonder how much money they will make from ticket sales and broadcast payments on this Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight
No figure as for the moment but for sure they will maximize the potential and they will use all the possible channels to reach
the fans and make decent money for this upcoming fight.
It's a sport where money is flowing, with the right marketing and the right sponsors both fighter's camp will generate huge amount of money.
We might expect more trash talks when the fight is nearing, both fighters will use their social media channels to create hypes and
to make sure that they will make money and enjoy everything after the fight.
He needs a lot of proving inside the ringbefore he can start saying those words.
