This isn’t the first time Tank Davis has expressed frustration with Mayweather Promotions, but in the end, they always seem to work it out.
Regardless of what you think of the matchmaking, Mayweather Promotions has made Davis a viable PPV star.
He isn’t on the level of a Canelo Alvarez and still is a touch behind, say, an Errol Spence Jr, but Davis has been able to sell out arenas across the country and does respectable PPV numbers even against opponents that don’t bring much to the table.
Critics of Davis say that he is being protected, and he hasn’t had a hard, challenging fight since he fought Jose Pedraza in 2017.
There is no word on if those critics is why Davis may be leaning toward leaving the company, but he has made it clear his contract is up after this fight.
Here is what Floyd had to say about the situation is Bad Left Hook.
Davis would tweet his apparent displeasure about the ticket situation earlier this week before bringing up the fact that this fight is his last under his current contract with Mayweather Promotions. Davis suggested that his expiring contract is reason Mayweather Promotions has been keen on pushing an agenda of a fight against Romero (who is also signed to the company). Davis would later delete that tweet.
Mayweather was then asked directly about Davis’ comments regarding his expiring contract and what that means for their future.
“Nothing lasts forever. I will always love Tank. I like him, love him, look at him like a son. He has to do what’s best for him. I feel like I’ve done a great job thus far, I mean just building him and putting him in good fights, great fights, and he’s steady growing, steady learning, and I’m proud of him.”
Do you think Tank will move on?
The better question will be, should he leave?
