highly anticipated clash between the undefeated Legend Floyd Mayweather Jr and the rising star dant tank Davis has been confirmed irm Med this announcement comes on the heels of an intense and public feud between the two fighters which has only added fuel to the fire I'm going go I want to you know I want to introduce him to it letting him know the world is just the world is not the world is bigger than just the USA the world is bigger than just being in Baltimore the relationship between Mayweather and Davis has always been complex Floyd Mayweather a five Division World Champion with a 50 record took Davis under his wing early in his career dvon Davis who now has an impressive record was seen as Mayweather's Protege under the banner of Mayweather promotions Davis quickly Rose through the ranks capturing World titles and gaining a massive following it was crazy entertaining work at that particular time um so I said you know what I like this I like this kid however cracks in their relationship began to show as Davis started to feel stifled by Mayweather's control over his career Davis expressed frustration over the way Mayweather handled his fights promotions and overall career trajectory this tension reached a boiling point in late 2023 when Davis publicly criticized Mayweather for not giving him the autonomy he felt he deserved you know tank announced that he's leaving Mayweather promotions what do you have to say about his departure my focus honestly is on Saturday night the feud became public when Davis took to social media to air his grievances in a series of tweets and Instagram posts Davis accused Mayweather of being more interested in his own legacy than in nurturing his Fighters he claimed that Mayweather was trying to live vicariously through him and other young Fighters using their success to stay relevant for you know grooming somebody getting them to a point and then having some differences um I've always been a gentleman I've always been respectful Mayweather never want to shy away from controversy responded in kind in an interview he dismissed Davis's complaints as the Outburst of a young inexperienced fighter who didn't understand the business side of boxing when I say certain thing they say oh oh he's hating there's no different from when I talk when I talked about uh the thing with javante Mayweather emphasized that everything he did was to ensure Davis's long-term success and Financial Security he also pointed out that Davis's meteoric rise in the sport was in large part due to the promotional machine that Mayweather had built and there's nothing like taking a kid that that come from the same background as you and helping them and put them in a position to become a multi-millionaire as the war of words continued both Fighters began to take more personal shots at each other Davis accused Mayweather of being jealous of his potential and trying to sabotage his career Mayweather on the other hand criticized Davis's work ethic and discipline he mentioned several incidents where Davis had missed weight or had legal troubles suggesting that Davis needed to mature and take his career more seriously Mayweather also accused Davis of being ungrateful for the opportunities and support he had provided World Champion someday years later he I started working with him um helped him pushed him to be great the feud took a heated turn during a talk about Mayweather and John Gotti where Mayweather was asked if he would take down tank and his words were simple and threatening like I said it feels so disappointing to see someone you brought up going against you but we're Fighters fighting is what we do best and if that needs me to beat some discipline into him in the ring then why not those little wins made him confident in all it's about time he learns actually let's do it you know he his wings he he's grew Wings where he can fly become his own boss more power to him the animosity between Floyd Money Mayweather Jr and javant tank Davis is one of boxing's most interesting current narratives their Journey from mentor student to Bitter Rivals is a tangled web of ambition accusations and hurt feelings the exact date for the souring of their relationship is quite unclear however there were hints of discontent Mayweather known for his meticulous business strategies emphasized strategic patience for young Fighters This likely clashed with Davis desire for quicker advancement in 2017 Davis won his first world title a moment that could have been a celebration of Mayweather's guidance yet some saw a shift in Mayweather's demeanor perhaps a sense of his Protegé becoming a Potential Threat thank you talked about leaving Mayweather on the Brian Custer podcast I didn't say I'm leaving I said my contract was up so there's still a possibility that you may resign yeah the first public display of tension came in 2020 Mayweather fresh out of retirement for an exhibition bout shared an old training video featuring Davis while seemingly innocent some saw it as a way for Mayweather to maintain control over Davis's narrative this was followed by a cryptic social media post from Davis in 2021 never idolize anybody too much they're going to disappoint you eventually the message though seemingly generic resonated with fans who saw it as a veiled shot at Mayweather position because of everything that Mayweather and lard Elby have done for him so um I do want him to do what he is saying take control of your career things really escalated in 2022 Mayweather scheduled for an exhibition fight in Dubai pulled out at the last minute citing unforeseen circumstances Davis ever the opportunist took to social media with a scathing accusation you out here are scamming again taking people's money Floyd Mayweather Jr undefeated where did the money go this public accusation not only questioned Mayweather's Financial dealings but also cast doubt on his Integrity it was a clear break in trust and a major blow to their relationship the back and forth intensified in a press conference later that year Davis confronted Mayweather directly accusing him of dodging a fight and hindering his career Mayweather known for his sharp tongue responded by mocking Davis's dance moves and questioning his fight selection I commenting on saying hey this is my career you had yours I respect you from buy me a chain buy me this buy me that take me on a jet not all that's great but at the end of the day I'm only going by his interview you seen it and I seen it then Davis threw another jab at Floyd saying you ain't fought nobody in 10 years you're scared to fight me you know I'm going to expose you Floyd why are you holding me back but this didn't leave Floyd silent you talking about dancing you can't even dance right you need to worry about facing real Fighters instead of calling out retired Legends thank you Floyd May weather for all the things you gave me if the attentions was you just looking out for me Mayweather's comments fueled the fire fans saw it as an attempt to belittle Davis's achievements and deflect from his own inactivity Davis however wouldn't back down he further claimed he had surpassed Mayweather's accomplishments at a younger age and boasted about a more lucrative fight contract this Brash statement not only reignited the debate about his boxing skills but also highlighted a potential Financial rivalry simmering beneath the surface he even went as far as saying now I can talk about knocking Floyd out when I see him and I won't care about going back to jail had to break away from the chains of somebody he still respects and respected them adding fuel to the fire Mayweather in a surprising move appointed a new CEO for his promotional Company Leonard ellerby bypassing Davis's former trainer and Mentor Roger Mayweather Davis who remained under Mayweather promotions at the time saw this as a betrayal of loyalty and a personal attack he took to social media accusing Mayweather of playing mind games and trying to control everyone around him with both Fighters undefeated boxing fans clamored for a showdown it would be a clash of styles and generations the legendary defense of Mayweather against the explosive power of Davis the financial implications were also massive a Mayweather Davis fight would be a pay-per-view Bonanza generating millions of dollars for both Fighters however despite the hype and potential payday negotiations stalled it don't have it don't necessarily had to be leave maywe promotion about just know becom that man handle your own your own you know responsibility Mayweather remained relatively quiet focusing on promoting other Fighters under his Banner this fueled speculation that he might be avoiding a fight with Davis fearing a potential loss to his former protege behind the scenes the tensions were even more evident Mayweather seemed to believe that Davis was not yet ready for the big leagues needing more time to mature both in and out of the ring this difference in perspective created a rift that only widened with time though that um maywe promotions you know what I mean they did a great job with me but it was time for me to move on their interactions grew colder and more hostile during training sessions what once were words of encouragement from Mayweather turned into sharp critiques and and dismissive comments Davis began to distance himself from the Mayweather camp training independently and seeking advice from other seasoned Fighters This move was seen by many as a clear sign of Davis's desire to break free from Mayweather's Shadow and Forge his own path in the boxing World set you off that you was like I got to do that a lot of people don't know that what Floyd do he said so you feel like it was a sub like he was subbing you like oh like he that he was going at me he was going at me the media also played a big role in fanning the Flames of this rival every comment tweet and interview was dissected and analyzed adding fuel to the fire in one particularly candid interview Davis expressed his frustrations openly I respected Floyd looked up to him but it's clear now he doesn't want me to shine he wants to keep all the spotlight for himself well I'm done with that I'm making my own way and if he doesn't like it that's too bad this interview spread everywhere further cementing the public perception of their fractured relationship Mayweather know for his strategic mind used this to his Advantage he played the role of the Misunderstood Mentor claiming that everything he did was for Davis's benefit in an interview he said I want tank to succeed but he has to understand that it's a long game rushing things won't help him in the long run I'm here to guide him not hold him back despite these words his actions often seem to contradict his statements leading to more skepticism from fans and critics alike that's what I was thinking cuz it's I feel like y y got I don't say love hate but it's been like the last interview you showed them love this week it was whatever but is that sometimes like you know is it just like big bro little bro Seeing Things Different At this point these two had everyone in the sport divided some believe Mayweather was genuinely trying to help Davis using tough love to prepare him for the challenges ahead others saw Mayweather as a manipulative figure more concerned with maintaining his legacy than fostering the next generation of talent Davis's growing popularity and success only added to this narrative with many seeing him as the future of boxing ready to step out of Mayweather's Shadow and into the spotlight I'm proud of him you know for his victory but if you done something spectacular when you sparred me I'm going to remember you now we do know that Floyd dominated the boxing world for nearly two decades Mayweather became the face of the sport and would sell high ppvs on almost every fight of his the top four highest sold ppvs are all Floyd Mayweather fights against top opponents and according to him we may never get to see another Boxer Captivate the eyes of boxing fans in this way again far as far as pay-per-view I think I got the what four top four top for pay-per-view um you know I still got a sharp mind I mean I think they were saying that Floyd Mayweather is uh he's losing his memory it's just recently that he also continued to say that tank was nowhere close to him in some interview a while back Mayweather revealed why his Protege dant tank Davis will not be able to break his ppv records he can do crazy numbers it's going to be hard to break my record because you have so many people stealing you know so many people stealing yes streaming it's still stealing they not paying for it and they getting it free it's stealing Floyd said Floyd is referring to all the illegal streams that have now come up there's so many websites and streams that stream for free and illegally that it is next to impossible for networks to ban the sites Money Mayweather fought in simpler times and hence holds the top four spots in the top five highest grossing ppvs he can he can he can do crazy numbers it's going to be hard to break my my record because you have so many people stealing you know so many people stealing the highest grossing ppv ever was the Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao bout dubbed the fight of the century the fight sold 4 milon 600,000 million ppvs and generated $410 million in ppv Revenue alone and although many believe the fight did not deliver to all the hype it still holds the record which may not be broken anytime [Music] soon now when these two decide to face each other in the ring we know that they will also sell massive numbers the buildup would be nothing short of explosive with the bitter rivalry between the former mentor and student adding a deeply personal Edge to what would undoubtedly be a historic Showdown Mayweather's training of Davis means they know each other's strengths and weaknesses intimately making the stakes even higher so I'm about to I'm about to I'm at that point where as though I pass him and I and I'm doing it at a young age wait like when Floyd was uh 29 Floyd Mayweather with his impeccable defensive skills and unparalleled ring IQ would enter the ring with the confidence of a fighter who has never tasted defeat his career marked by strategic Brilliance and Flawless technique has made him a legend the way he Dodges punches his ability to read opponents and his Precision in counterattacks have all contributed to his undefeated record so facing tank a fighter he trained and molded would present a unique challenge Mayweather would need to anticipate every move Davis makes leveraging his experience and tactical Acumen to stay one step ahead on the other side gerant tank Davis would bring his raw power and Youthful aggression into the ring known for his KN out ability and Relentless pressure Davis would look to overwhelm Mayweather with his explosive style we're at Louis Vuitton he's the only one that drives the Mercedes and last time I checked we got fighters all the all around the world his punches are not only powerful but also delivered with remarkable speed making him a formidable opponent the fact that Mayweather trained him means Davis has insights into Mayweather's techniques and strategies potentially giving him an edge let's not also forget that Tank's motivation would be fueled by the desire to step out of Mayweather's Shadow and establish his own legacy the pre-fight buildup is already charged with tension and some good heat Davis has not shied away from making the feud personal even involving Mayweather's daughter in their disputes this move has added a layer of animosity turning what could have been a professional rivalry into a deeply personal War we do know tank and Floyd's personalities the press conferences leading up to the fight would be filled with Trash Talk accusations and Mind Games heightening the anticipation among fans Mayweather known for his psychological warfare would likely try to get under Davis's skin questioning his Readiness and mental toughness Davis in turn would assert his dominance and claim that he is ready to Dethrone the king [Music] also both Fighters have massive followings and the story of their rivalry would Captivate audiences worldwide the paperview numbers would likely break records despite the modern challenges of illegal streaming the attraction of seeing a former mentor and student face off combined with the personal animosity between them would draw in not only boxing fans but also casual viewers intrigued by the drama as analysts are also putting it the fight would be a clash of styles and generations Mayweather's defensive prowess and tactical Brilliance would be pitted against Davis's raw power and aggressive approach Mayweather would likely adopt a counter punching strategy using his movement and defensive skills to frustrate Davis and create openings for precise counterattacks Davis aware of Mayweather's strategy would need to find ways to penetrate his defense perhaps focusing on body shots to slow Mayweather down and create opportunities for power punches to the Head the early rounds would be crucial Mayweather would aim to control the pace using his jab to keep Davis at Bay and assess his opponent's approach Davis on the other hand would likely come out strong trying to impose his will and land significant shots early to disrupt Mayweather's Rhythm he used his usual style and brains he would try to figure out Mayweather in the early rounds and then seek to maintain his pressure and break through Mayweather's [Applause] defense as the fight progresses into the later rounds conditioning and endurance would play a good role Mayweather known for his exceptional stamina and ability to stay composed Under Pressure would need to maintain his focus and continue executing his game plan Davis would need to dig deep harnessing his determination and resilience to keep pushing forward and Landing meaningful punches the personal nature of the feud would be evident in every punch thrown and every defensive maneuver executed the crowd would be on the edge of their seats witnessing not just a physical battle but also a psychological one Mayweather's experience in high stakes fights would give him an advantage in staying calm and composed while Davis's hunger and desire to prove himself could drive him to take risks and push the pace well to put it in simple words the outcome of this fight would hinge on a few key factors Mayweather's ability to neutralize Davis's power and maintain his defensive Mastery would be critical if he can avoid taking significant damage and capitalize on Davis's aggression with precise counter punches he could outpoint Davis and secure a decision victory for Davis finding ways to break through Mayweather's defense and land powerful shots consistently would be essential if he can connect with a few clean hard punches he might have the chance to score a knockout or at least sway the judges in his favor the fight's conclusion regardless of the result would leave a lasting impact on the boxing world if Mayweather were to win it would further solidify his legacy as one of the greatest fighters of all time showcasing his ability to outsmart and outfight even the most formidable opponents a victory for Davis on the other hand would represent a passing of the torch signaling the rise of a new star in the sport and cementing his place among boxing's Elite a lot of Fighters think it's just this let's do it come on see a lot of Fighters think it's just this
