Floyd Mayweather Publishes Old Video Of Gervonta Davis To Embarrass Him After His Victory Over Frank Martin !!! | HO
The training session between “Tank” and Devin Haney left Mayweather’s pupil in a bad light..

There was a time when Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather Jr. were good friends. When “Tank” Davis’ career was beginning, “Money” Mayweather took him under his tutelage; however, as the years went by, that friendship became a bitter rivalry that just experienced its most recent chapter.

Mayweather met Davis in 2015, and almost immediately, the former champion could see the young boxer’s potential and gave him a contract with his company, Mayweather Promotions. The relationship lasted about seven years and brought large profits to both parties.

However, the relationship ended in 2022 amid serious accusations from “Tank” Davis against Mayweather Promotions. In a video he uploaded to his social media, the featherweight champion warned other boxers not to sign with the company at the risk of seeing their career seriously damaged.

The relationship between Davis and Mayweather has been strained since then. Although they have sometimes been seen on friendly terms, verbal exchanges on social media between the two are frequent. The most recent episode was this weekend when Mayweather posted an old video of his former pupil.

Without further explanation, the former lightweight champion uploaded a video of a training session between Davis and Devin Haney to his Instagram account. The video lasts 18 minutes, and in it, you can see the boxers exchanging blows with protective equipment while Mayweather clearly coaches Haney.

The video does not have much that is extraordinary. What has caused suspicion in the boxing environment is the moment that Mayweather chose to release it. On Saturday night, “Tank” scored another victory, beating Frank Martin by a resounding knockout in the eighth round.

The fight marked the debut of streaming giant Amazon Prime in boxing shows. The win solidifies Davis’ position as one of the pound-for-pound best of the moment, granting him leverage in negotiations for a re-match with Ryan Garcia or a fight against Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Some think that the video was a petty attempt by Mayweather to tarnish Davis’ victory somehow. Although if that had been the end, the boxer-turned-promoter made a mistake, as in the footage, you can see an out-of-shape “Tank” holding up without a problem against a Haney who was in fighting shape.

Others think that it was a way to cause excitement due to the recent arrival of Richard Schaefer to Mayweather Promotions. The former CEO of Golden Boy Promotions recently joined the “Money” promotion’s team. The former champion’s company has had trouble recruiting talent in recent years.

Mayweather was a brilliant strategist and one of the fighters with the highest boxing IQ in the world. However, that same intelligence did not translate to his business or personal life, and this new video is another example of the stumbles that the former champion has taken.
