And he would have gotten just as big a payday, in fact numerous of them, if he took on his rivals that he's successfully avoided all these years.
This idea that a certified boxing cashcow somehow won the lottery by electing to fight a content creator, is a joke. Hed have made that regardless if he fought a real opponent.
this gets ignored in the talk about Tank for some reason
people almost framed it as if Tank is some unknown boxer who got the chance of a lifetime to finally make money
didn't Tank supposedly sign a $200M contract with PBC? Wasn't Tank allegedly getting $20m+ to fight cherries? Didn't Tank get invited by Turki to make big money? Bro had options to make a lot of money while still being legitimate
To your point if he had fought the best available options he would have made more money than he has and he would be in a position like Canelo or Joshua to not have to even consider a JP fight at this stage in their careers.
And I'm not buying the $100M payday rumor, seems like something Tank stans pulled out they ass to justify the move. If Bud is getting $50m to fight Canelo I'm not seeing how Tank is getting double that to fight JP. Especially since Tank wasn't even the first choice. If they giving Tank $100M what the hell were they offering Joshua
