Worlds collided after Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, lauded Mark Cuban. Ellerbe is quite active on his X account and does not restrict himself to talking about boxing but also various other sports. In a recent turn of events, he appears to have weighed in on Cuban selling his majority stake in the NBA team, Dallas Mavericks.

Amongst other things, Cuban is an American businessman and a television personality.

Ellerbe is all praise for the Cuban

TMZ reported that the American business tycoon has decided to generously give a staggering $35 million as a bonus to the employees of the Maverick team. This isn’t your typical bonus; it’s a testament to Cuban’s unique and exceptional generosity. In a letter, he extended his gratitude and felt the need to remunerate for their services. “A framework that took into consideration how long you have worked for the Mavs,” said Cuban.

Leonard Ellerbe answers a tricky question

One would assume Ellerbe considers Floyd Mayweather to be the greatest fighter. The two are each other’s close aides and share a great bond. Back in 2022, Vasiliy Lomachenko was dethroned by Teofimo Lopez, but he continued to be on the pound-for-pound list. While justifying this status, Ellerbe stated, “He’s the best fighter ever, lol.”
