Gervonta Davis Hints He Could Stay With Mayweather Promotions After Rolly Romero Fights Saturday
Via Huck Allen: Gervonta ‘The Tank’ Davis appears to have changed his mind about leaving Mayweather Promotions following his bout Saturday night on Showtime PPV.
On Wednesday, WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion Tank (26-0.24 KOs) talked about Mayweather Promotions, calling them “Best Team“And talk about how they will come up with it “The best plan” for him.
Just yesterday, Gervonta said that he wants to take control of his career and wants to get out of the way of coaching. Who knows what made Tank change his mind, but maybe Mayweather Promotions offered him a new contract in his favor.
If Tank is to stay with Mayweather Promotions after Saturday’s fight with Rolly, he needs to impress on them how important it is for them to set up matches against other top light heavyweights like Devin Haney. , Vasyl Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia and George Kambosos Jr.
It will affect Tank’s career in the long run if he doesn’t start fighting the top dogs at 130, 135 and 140.
“I still feel like I have the best team in boxing – Promotion Mayweather, Al Haymon, my personal team. Whatever decision we make after that, I stand for it. We come up with the best plans together as a team,” said Tank Davis about his future plans.
One benefit for Tank Davis from the light-fight organization offered by Mayweather Promotions is that he doesn’t suffer any setbacks.
If Tank is just for the money and doesn’t want to be the best, he shouldn’t create a storm by leaving.
To be fair, if Tank were to leave Mayweather Promotions and sign on to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing promotion, he’d want to get the value he’s paying for him, and would be adamantly in love. asked him firmly. Tank may not be ready to fight the big guys, and he may be bluffing.
I hate to say it but if Mayweather Promotions throws the Tank with Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, Oscar Valdez or Josh Taylor, he’s going to lose consistently.
Tank is a good fighter, but also very flawed, as we saw in his fights with Isaac Cruz, Leo Santa Cruz and Yuriorkis Gamboa.
“It is not a personal matter. F*** him. I won’t see Rolly after the game. Boxing is good, but he’s still a clown. He’s not going to go like that,” Tank said when asked if Rolly would try to knock him down from the first half, trying to score a quick knockout.
“He is trying to distract people. He didn’t do that. The first thing is the lid, you know it’s the lid [a lie]’ said Gervonta.
