Even after seven years of being with the promotion, Gervonta Davis seems adamant to renew his contract and feels like he is not getting the treatment he deserves.

He will fight unbeaten lightweight contender Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero on May 28 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and Mayweather’s exhibition bout with Don Moore might overshadow his fight.

There is a high chance that this fight will be Davis’ last one for Mayweather Promotions, as their relationship seems to be in a fragile state.
