Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis mocked Teofimo Lopez, responding to his skit on Friday. Teofimo played a street person on the side of the road, holding a begging cup and trying to get money from passers-by. He wants to get out of his contract with Top Rank because he feels that he is not making the big money he should be getting.
Davis showed an old post from Lopez saying he would be the “highest paid” fighter in the lightweight division. That never happened. He moved up a weight class, and didn’t make the big bucks at 140 that Tank and Ryan Garcia have.
Teofimo seems to be upset because he wants to leave Top Rank because he thinks he can make more money fighting another promoter.
Teofimo was beaten by George Kambosos, who fought in two fights that many fans believe he should have lost, and he looks poor. Lopez is now trying to get out of his contract with Top Rank to join the big money fighters and other promoters, fighting on cards in Riyadh.
Changing promoters probably won’t help Teofimo. His main problems are lack of talent and mental toughness to beat the best. The loss to Kambosos proved that Lopez could not handle the pressure.
Lopez’s fights with Jamaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin, and Steve Claggett further reinforced the belief that he was not equipped to fight at the highest level. In the eyes of the fans, he should have been defeated by Jamaine and Sandor.
Ryan has a lot of money $50 millionand never won a world title. Tank made a lot of money too. It doesn’t look like Teofimo will ever get the kind of dough that Davis and Garcia did. He hasn’t been consistent enough with his career since 2021, and his performance is getting worse.
“I have a video on my phone that says he’s going to make a lot of money at 135 lbs. He’s just talking his ***. He’s crazy how things are going, and his ** is starting to look like a light-skinned squidward,” said Gervonta Davis on social media, reacting to Teofimo Lopez’s incident of begging money on the side of the road with a sign and a cup.
