It’s been a rocky few days between Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather. While their social media spat continues to take its course, Davis has seemingly written a bold message on how important “loyalty” is for him.

The timing of social media communication has nudged folks to believe that he is taking an indirect jibe at the former welterweight champion. The two of them were pretty tight in the formative days of ‘Tank’s’ career. He even joined Mayweather’s promotion company. However, after a few years when they drifted, it seemed like the duo were not on the best of terms. This week, it has become clear that they are anything but cordial with each other.

Rough waters for Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather

On Instagram stories, Tank, now Abdul Wahid, shared an image of him with a friend. Along with the image, he wrote, “Loyalty means everything!” 

What is the significance of this post you may ask? Well, Tank and ‘Pretty Boy’ used to be close until last year, when the legend helped crack a great deal for his fight against Ryan Garcia. However, now that Shakur Stevenson is batting hard to fight Davis, Mayweather seems to have shifted the team.

While Tank took digs at him for supposedly being stranded in Dubai for money issues, Mayweather shared a video on his Instagram stories. In it, Shakur Stevenson makes direct remarks toward Tank. He noted, “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.”

In response, Tank also took to his X and negated the relationship between Mayweather and ‘Sugar.’ He noted, “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.”

This back and forth recently began after Tank made some startling revelations about Mayweather.

What’s the deal with ‘Money’?

Earlier, speculations started about Mayweather being held by Dubai authorities for not paying up his debt. A fan on X nudged Tank to comment on such rumors. Confirming the same, 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..”

While these could just be conjecture that Tank was spewing, IBHOF elector Rick Glaser confirmed the claims. On X, he remarked, “Just got off the phone with my guy in Dubai, he told me that #Floyd #Mayweather is definitely being held by the Government court system there as he owes a substantial amount of money in Dubai…Was told the debt is #unassociated with #Boxing. Floyd’s desperately trying to work things out, to no avail so far. So @Gervontaa #TankDavis is correct that Floyd’s being held there!!!”

Tank leveraged the opportunity to take some more digs at Mayweather. In another X post, he suggested helping the 47-year-old monetarily. Help Mayweather, the richest boxer of all time? He wrote, “They got Floyd a** for real..tell him I’ll send him a wire..LET MY F**KING FAMILY GO…”

Floyd Mayweather has refrained from commenting on the hostage situation and speculations are rife regarding his current stay in Dubai. Where do you think this fiasco will end? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
