Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis mocked Teofimo Lopez’s skit from Friday, where he portrayed a street person begging for money. Lopez is seeking to break free from his contract with Top Rank, feeling dissatisfied with the financial rewards.
Davis highlighted a previous statement by Lopez about becoming the highest-paid fighter in the lightweight division, a goal that remains unaccomplished. Despite moving up in weight class, Lopez has not achieved the same financial success as Tank and Ryan Garcia.
Teofimo appears unhappy with his current situation and desires to switch promoters in pursuit of greater earnings. However, his recent loss to George Kambosos has raised questions about his abilities under pressure.
While considering a promoter change, it’s uncertain whether Teofimo can overcome his talent and mental challenges to compete at a high level. Recent fights with opponents like Jamaine Ortiz and Sandor Martin have further cast doubts on his capabilities.
Comparatively, Ryan Garcia boasts a $50 million net worth without winning a world title, while Tank Davis has also enjoyed financial success. It seems unlikely that Teofimo will reach the same level of wealth due to inconsistency in his career and declining performances.
“I have a video on my phone of him saying he was going to be the most paid 135 lbs. He is just talking out his a**. Crazy how things play out, and his a** is starting to look like a light skin Squidward,” stated Gervonta Davis in response to Teofimo Lopez’s skit.
