To grow Floyds brand, make Davis a bigger name globally and to give Rizin more exposure It makes perfect sense business wise
Why would they want their star to get knocked out twice? Even if it’s just boxing it definitely hurts his stock.
First of all he’s not a star in Japan. That was a false narrative created by the American media, Inoue is way bigger, second of all I guarantee you didn’t know who he was pre Floyd, this just gives more exposure and eyes on there product,
Floyd was a 42 years old retired fighter...Tank is in his prime right now and hit like a truck It bodes pretty well for Tenshin
Yes he is. He's been a star since he was 17 years old. The question wasn't posed at me but I heard about him many years ago. Martial arts are big in Japan. MMA, Sumo, Judo. All those guys are as big as baseball or football players in the U.S. The kid is good but it's an odd choice after the first round ko.
Davis probably walks around at about the same weight as Floyd. Plus he's a massive puncher, still active and his prime.
Hopefully it's a MMA fight. If he boxes tank he will get KO'd pretty bad. A kickboxing or MMA fight would be more interesting.
