Martin: A Misguided Matchup
It was predictable that Tank would see an enormous drop off to his pre-PPV numbers as a result of he’s by no means been an enormous draw throughout his profession and it unhealthy concept to make use of the inactive Frank Martin as his opponent.
Martin hadn’t fought in a 12 months and barely gained his final struggle in opposition to Artem Harutyunyan. Tank’s administration may need been fooled by the success of his struggle with Ryan and mistakenly thought these numbers had been attributed to a rise in recognition fairly than followers eager to see Kingry.
Selecting Martin was a transfer doomed to failure, and surprisingly, Tank didn’t communicate as much as veto the concept.
Driving on Kingry’s Coattails
The massive drop off in buys for Tank’s struggle in opposition to Frank Martin (18-1, 12 KOs) strongly signifies that the Baltimore native rode on Ryan’s coattails final 12 months, benefiting from his large recognition on social media.
With Ryan’s 12 million Instagram followers, Tank went alongside for the trip, benefiting from Kingry’s recognition. After that struggle, Tank returned to his pre-PPV numbers, and the lackluster numbers for the Martin struggle bear that out.
