Tim Bradley: Gervonta Davis “Mentally Checked” – Seeking Retirement Pay Days with Pacquiao/Jake Paul

Tim Bradley says Gervonta has Davis “Mentally checked” and is looking for a few pay days before retirement. He notes that Gervonta (30-0-1, 28 ko) will not fight Shakur Stevenson for any amount of money that Turki Alalshikh offers him.

Davis eyeing Pacquiao, Paul’s days

Instead, Davis will choose Manny Pacquiao, Jake Paul, or someone else “to get that bag ‘before retiring as Rich millionaire. Tim believes Gervonta is “sick of the sport” after 12 years in the pro ranks, and wants to do other things with his life.

“Tank is made. It’s hung up. Shoes off, get the back, put up a plaque. He’s done. Tank is done,” said Tim Bradley to fight Hub Tv’s channel About his belief that Gervonta ‘tank’ Davis had mentally checked his career, and hung around to get a few more pay days in circus fighting before retiring.

Ryan Garcia’s payday effect

It has been evident for the past two years that Tank Davis has mentally checked out of the game and no longer has his head in the sport. The huge payday Gervonta had for his fight against Ryan Garcia in 2023, which was estimated $ 30 million, took his hunger away and drove for the sport. Since then, Davis has fought only twice, beating Frank Martin and battling to a controversial 12-round draw against Lamont Roach. A tank appeared to be completely disengaged and uncontrollable during the Roach fighting.

No shakur fight for tank

“Tank has mentally checked. He’s mentally gone. Tank is looking for the big bag, the Jake Paul, Pacquiao, and ‘I’ll see you later.’ Tank says He is not going to fight Shakur Stevenson at all. I don’t care how much money Turki offers. Give him four lamborghinis or whatever. A tank does not take that fight, ”said Bradley.

You can’t blame Tank for not wanting to fight a runner like Shakur, because he knows he would have to go after him around the ring for 12 rounds. If Stevenson used his hit-and-not-not-hit method, it would depend on whether the judges favor that amateur point scoring method or the harder, cleaner shots by Tank Davis.

As such, even if Davis won, Shakur would muddy water, claiming he was stolen, and his sycophantic fans would support him. Davis does not need that mess. He can make Big Bank fight Ryan Garcia, Manny Pacquiao, and Jake Paul on his retirement tour.

“If he goes into the ring and doesn’t focus the road, he’s going to be beaten by Manny Pacquiao if they want to,” said Bradley. “I think he has done. These are the issues outside the circle, and he wants to change. He has a lot on his mind about what he wants to do, and he is kind of sick of the sport of boxing.”

Being beaten by a legend like Pacquiao would not bother Gervonta almost as much as it would be if he lost to Shakur. At least with Manny, Davis could say he lost against a legend. The money would be huge for a tank, and could use the millions to find comfort, buy a A huge mansion in the hills of HolmbyCalifornia.

“If I’m Lamont Roach, I keep my momentum,” said Bradley. “You’re not ready, son? It’s all good. You treat your business, you’re doing what you have to do, but I need that money. I need that gravy. I need that opportunity. I should be the champion right now. However, I will let you get that.

Roach will have a nice payday against Shakur as long as Turki Alalshikh is taking part, but it won’t be a huge $ 10 million payday. Stevenson’s purse for his fight against William Zepeda on July 12th was a reported $ 7 million. Fighting between Shakur and Roach would not attract as much buzz as Zepeda fighting because Lamont is a defensive fighter with Jerry-esque style. It’s not someone that the boxing public will be excited to see Stevenson fighting compared to other fighters in section 135 or 140-lb.
