Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis taunted Teofimo Lopez, reacting to his sketch on Friday. Teofimo played a street person on the sidewalk, holding a begging cup and trying to get money from people passing by. He wants out of his contract with Top Rank because he feels he is not making the big money he should be getting.
Davis showed an old post of Lopez saying he would be the “highest paid” fighter at lightweight. 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 looks miserable because he wants to leave Top Rank because he thinks he can make more money fighting with another promoter.
Teofimo was beaten by George Kambosos, who was involved in two controversial fights that many fans thought he should have lost, and he looks poor. Lopez is now trying to get out of his contract with Top Rank to join fighters making massive money with other promoters, fighting on Riyadh cards.
The change of promoters probably won’t help Teofimo. His main problems are his lack of talent and mental strength to beat the best. Losing to Cambosos proved that Lopez couldn’t handle things under pressure.
Lopez’s fights with Jamaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin and Steve Claggett further reinforced the belief that he was not equipped to fight at a high level. In the eyes of the fans, he should have lost to Jamaine and Sandor.
Ryan has a net worth $50 millionand never won a world title. Tank also made a lot of money. It doesn’t look like Teofimo will ever get the kind of dough that Davis and Garcia did. He is not consistent enough with his career since 2021, and his performances are getting worse.
“I have a video on my phone of him saying he was the highest paid 135lbs. He’s just talking his**. Crazy how things play out, and his** is starting to look like a clear Squidward skin,” said Gervonta Davis on social media, reacting to Teofimo Lopez’s sketch of him begging for money on a sidewalk with a sign and a cup.
