As far as "Shorty" (Tank) is concerned, here's Leonard Ellberbe - a Crocodile shoes wearing Al disciple - on Saturday 28/9/2019 - "Tank is a ticket seller, a rising star in the sport, the only name between 126 and 135. Lomachenko, Haney, Garcia they don't bring nothing to the table yet, Tank put arses in seats, they dont! Tank is the guy, the one guy, star power, name recognition, they just be looking for a payday. Tank will fight anyone when the times right."

Here's another quote from Saturday 28/9/2019

"Tank already bringing Rappers, NFL, Basketball and Baseball stars. It don't matter who Tank fights, the fans are buying whoever he fight. We don't care about P4P or legacy, we fans of bank accounts. Period. The legacy will come in time. Give us time. We already got plans for 2021, this shit is chess not chequers." Leonard Ellberbe, on behalf of the boss Al Haymon."

What does this mean? It's standard boxing business, how all potential stars are developed. Shorty is being groomed boxing 101. Cultivated. Protected. Nurtured. Whoever gets him beat gets sacked.

What it means to PBC/Haymonites? Everybody ducking Shorty. They don't want no smoke. Everybody lying but Al.
Davis could possibly do big PPV numbers and they're not going to let anything like meaningful fights get in the way of him cahieving that. They'll fight Lomachenko when the time is right, which means when Lomachenko is about fifty and they think they can beat him.
