Floyd Mayweather is the richest boxer of all time. Yet, Gervonta Davis is offering monetary help to get ‘Money’ out of the alleged hostage situation he’s run into in Dubai. But, does ‘Tank’ really mean the help or is it his yet another attempt at taking digs at the former welterweight champion? In the formative days of Tank’s career, he and Mayweather used to be tight. So much so that the young fighter was seen as Mayweather’s prodigy. After having been under the Mayweather banner for a huge chunk of his career, Davis left the bastion. While he cited no dispute for leaving the stable, in the days post the separation cracks emerged in their relationship. Now, Davis is making these cracks evident to the utter dismay of Floyd Mayweather.

The other day, Davis, furthered a set of claims about Mayweather’s whereabouts after some disagreements with his former promoter. The 47-year-old fighter is in Dubai for a while, and many think he’s landed in trouble over there. This led Gervonta Davis to claim that Floyd Mayweather was being held in Dubai, on account of the money he owes his partners in Dubai. On X, a fan account thus responded: “Let me find out Floyd being held hostage in Dubai @Gervontaa.”
In response, the 29-year-old fighter came up with his own suggestion in this regard. He wrote, “He gotta pay them people that money back..if I’m lying tell him to go live rn.” He backed his stance by writing in another post, “He been stuck over there for a min too..”
This angered Mayweather who then posted an Instagram story that showed Tank dancing in his drawers with a message above it reading, “We always knew He had sugar in his Tank.” After this, things got worse with Tank posting relentlessly on his X throughout the day. Davis continued the harangue in yet another X post. He wrote, “That money looking funny like that fake ass hair on his head and face,” furthering rumors of Floyd Mayweather sporting artificial facial hair.

In response to the jabs Tank has been taking at Mayweather, the latter posted a video on his Instagram stories. In it, he shared a clip of Shakur Stevenson calling out Tank. The New Jersey native, in the clip, said, “It’s a fighter out here that’s been calling your name, that wants to fight you. Gervonta “Tank” Davis, let’s make the fight happen. I’m tired of tweeting, I’m tired of talking about it. Stop ducking me and let’s make the fight happen.”
On X, meanwhile, another fan nudged Tank on the videos Mayweather posted of Stevenson, outlining that he chose Shakur over Gervonta Davis. In response, Tank wrote, “Floyd doesn’t like him either..he only siding w that kid becuz he scared of j prince (the father) and the kid so easy to manipulate, look how he had em go at young boy w the rolls umbrella..kid looking for fame.”
