Gervonta Davis’s odd relationship with Floyd Mayweather took a different turn this week, when the star posted – and quickly deleted – a tweet in which he called on the promoters to officially pay back. do for him.
Davis, who recently agreed to the terms of a big fight with Ryan Garcia, has had a rocky relationship with the former champion and Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, and posted on social media. American boxers’ union seems to imply things are running low. Currently.

Davis’ advertising situation has always been a hot topic, with Eddie Hearn teasing in numerous interviews that he would love to work with the 28-year-old.
And it looks like the Matchroom boss may have a chance to do so, as a text circulating around the boxing world claims ‘Tank’ will no longer be associated with Mayweather or Ellerbe.

Davis then came forward and stated that he knew nothing about the text or who the sender was. However, with his deleted tweet and his tumultuous relationship with Mayweather Promotions, observers say this is unlikely to be true.
Davis will have a prep bout with Hector Luis Garcia on January 7, and the next super fight is slated to take place in Las Vegas on April 15 in an eye-watering 136lb weight class. Garcia confirmed he will also fight first, with an unconfirmed opponent.
The showdown between Davis and Garcia is one of the biggest ever held in the sport, so fans will be hoping and praying that the obvious debacle between Davis and Mayweather’s promotion won’t get in the way. .
