Comments Thread For: Mayweather: More Power To Davis For Being His Own Boss - I Want To See Fighters Grow

[Bronx2245]

Floyd & Leonard have been terrible and hasn't lasted as a promoter/manager have they, name one fighter! Gervonta was established already, Ishe Smith was limted, Badou Jack was his best most recent decorated fighter but none where near great. Understand this, Ryan has his own following on social media and the looks to get him where he's at. Jerron will get there he just have to show up and show out when a title fight takes place, but Floyd not the answer and with his arrogance would never be!

However Tank had a title fight much earlier than Boots, and Floyd built Tank! Ishe and Badou had title shots with Floyd too! Boots' record is impeccable! 29-0, w/ 27 KOs! That's more fights and more KOs than Errol Spence has right now. Boots is only 25! Spence is 32! Floyd would have got Boots a fight w/Spence by now! Cameron Dunkin is not doing a good job AT ALL!

no matter what Tank wouldn't be as big as he is without that Mayweather Co-sign and Promotion because of Mayweather he was able to be seen by a different Audience ESPECIALLY fighting on Mayweather vs McGregor card

However Tank also did his Part in the Ring by being entertaining and getting Knockouts

Mayweather too busy with other stuff to Promote so he left it to Ellerbe and the mistake that was Made by Mayweather Promotions is that they put all their Eggs in that Tank basket instead of building up other fighters

They do have some outstanding young Amateurs who are still only Teenagers currently in Jahlil Hackett, David Lopez, Robert Meriwether, Curmel Moton... so Mayweather Promotion will rebuild BUT it will take some time

Other than meaningless fights, what did Mayweather did for him? He got him meaningless titles; he is not even a lightweight champ! Haney is the champ. Other than this Garcia fight all of his other fights except Pitbull's were softies. Tank will get a rude awaking soon.

Floyd wants these young brothers to do good and make money. BUT he doesnt want them to be better than him.

Exactly. His good talk is bs. He doesn't want to see anyone grow or out grow him. He's praying for Tank to take an "L" soon. I'm sure Fraud is crazy jealous when a fighter he's (was) associated with, whose also black and has tons of fans that love him for his style and excitement that he could never generate on his own the same way. Without the $$$, I think Jr. would jump off an overpass.

floyd's been hanging around with H-town legend Johnny Dang!! that's why his attitude is different now.. .surround yourself with people that has dignity and you'll start picking up the same trait.

When he 1st fought on TV he wasn't signed to Mayweather in fact he had a few fights on cable networks before fighting under Floyd, do your research. He didn't fight PayPer View until Floyd but he was already known through Adrien Broner who brought him to the forfront not Floyd!

What fights did he have on tv pre mayweather promotions? Please list them. There are none.

His first main event is on mayweather promotion. Not before. He even on the floyd/berto non televised part of the card and that's 2015. So tell when tank was fighting on tv before that

Broner literally took him to Floyd so he could get exposure

There’s only one boss in boxing right now and
thats Terrence Crawford. Everyone else has to ask for permission to speak.

It was best for tanks career to severe ties with tmt promotions only one he couldn't leave was Haymon due to the televised network exposure.

I honestly believe that deep down in his heart Mayweather didn't want tank to be great or surpass his accomplishments so he was going to lead him through the rocky roads and hope he fell along the way ️

This is pure rubbish.

Floyd was the one who pushed Tank to leave Baltimore and come live in Vegas because he saw that Tank was surrounded by Bad influences all around him.

That was the first public dispute they had because Tank wouldn't listen and guess what, he started missing weight and looking trash in his fights.

Finally he agreed to move to Vegas for the Leo Santa Cruz fight and guess what again, Floyd actually joined him in camp and personally trained him and trained with him to prepare for the Leo fight.

Tank successfully made 130lbs (after missing 135lbs in his previous fight) and never missed weight again.

Floyd has promoted Tank well and made him a big star, and personally helped him when Tank was struggling.

He even said Tank is like a son to him, tht he loves him like his own son. His actions go hand in hand with that.

Yawl just love to hate.

[Doubledagger]

Mayweather didn't believe enough in Tank, to make the fight's that would've propelled him to megastar status.

Belief has nothing to do with it. Floyd was just too over protective. He hedged Tank like a mother hen does its eggs qnd chicks.

Tank had to leave yes but its no slight on Floyd, which is why Floyd is supporting him.

In other words, thank you. I pimped you out, showed other fighters how pretty I can make your life, and I’ll get it all on the backend. He kinda is in the same situation Al was in at one point “look what I did with (insert name)” except I don’t expect it to work out as flawlessly. Floyd still loves attention and while initially that may be good for the fighter it quickly goes the way of Oscar in “please shut up already”
