Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis mocked Teofimo Lopez, reacting to his skit on Friday. Teofimo played a street man on the sidewalk, holding a begging bowl and trying to get money from passers-by. He wants his contract with Top Rank to expire because he believes he is not making the big money he should be getting.
Davis pointed to an old post from Lopez saying he would be the “highest paid” fighter in the lightweight division. This never happened. He’s moved down a weight class and hasn’t made the big money 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 another promoter.
Teofimo has been beaten by Giorgos Camposos, who has been involved in two controversial fights that many fans believe he should have lost, and is looking poor. Lopez is now trying to get out of his Top Rank contract to join the big money fighters with other promoters, fighting on the Riyadh card.
Changing promoters probably won’t help Teofimo. His main problems are his lack of talent and his mental toughness to beat the best. The loss to Camposo 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 is net worth 50 million dollarsand has never won a world title. Tank has also made a lot of money. It doesn’t look like Teofimo will ever get the kind of dough that Davis and Garcia have made. He hasn’t been consistent enough in his career since 2021 and his performances are getting worse.
“I have a video on my phone that says he would be the highest paid 135lb. He’s just talking his ass out. Crazy how things turn out and his a** is starting to look like a light colored Squidward,” Gervonta Davis said on social media, reacting to the sketch of Teofimo Lopez begging for money on a sidewalk with a sign and a cup.
