It’s not a shock that Tank’s PPV numbers for the Frank Martin struggle did not hit the a million mark as a result of followers hadn’t requested for this mismatch.
Martin had appeared terrible in his earlier struggle towards Artem Harutyunyan; he wasn’t well-known to informal boxing followers, and hardcore followers noticed this as one other cherry-pick for Tank.
Frank was useless weight within the promotion, not creating a lot curiosity, and Tank and his helper Leonard Ellerbe couldn’t create synthetic pleasure for a lackluster struggle from the bounce.
In hindsight, Tank and his administration’s determination to decide on Frank Martin fairly than a rematch with Ryan Garcia or a struggle towards Vasily Lomachenko was poorly thought out.
