Gervonta Davis Slams Eddie Hearn’s ‘Bullsh*t’ Offer, Citing Lack of Respect for His Intelligence

Published 01/11/2023, 8:45 AM EST

WBA Regular lightweight champion Gervonta Davis fires back at Matchroom CEO Eddie Hearn for his recent comments. The renowned boxing promoter recently shared his thoughts on ‘Tank’ ahead of the much anticipated billed bout with Ryan Garcia. However, Davis wasn’t too happy about these comments.

In an interview with The DAZN Boxing Show, he compared the two-division champion to boxing legend Mike Tyson but claimed that Davis wasn’t the smartest boxer in the sport which made him even more dangerous.

“The dangerous thing about Gervonta Davis is he’s not a deep thinker, not articulate. I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way. He’s a bad motherf***er. Like Mike Tyson. That makes him dangerous because he’s fearless, you can’t get into his head.” said Hearn

Davis took to Twitter and sarcastically stated that not being the smartest boxer was the reason he didn’t sign a contract that Hearn previously sent him for the Gracia fight.

Not a deep thinker and not articulate made me “not” sign that bullshit ass offer he sent. 😔 https://t.co/ylvNWJXeEG

Ryan Garcia Makes Bold Prediction for Gervonta Davis Fight

The offer Davis is talking about was a $10 million dollar one to fight Garcia. Despite offering a lot of money and certainly ‘Tank’s largest purse to date, this offer was not on par with the revenue the fight would generate. Moreover, ‘Tank’ even went on to publically reveal Hearn’s offer after leaking it for the world to see.

Back in December, following Davis’ departure from Mayweather promotions, Hearn sent Davis a fight offer to face Garcia. Moreover, with Davis being a free agent this offer could directly be sent to him instead of the promoters. However, in a surprising turn of events, Davis went on to leak the email on Twitter.

The email revealed that Hearn wanted the fight to take place in either January or February. In addition, Davis would rake in $10 million as his fight purse with PPV shares not included. It’s safe to say Davis wasn’t ready to sign the offer just yet but chose to leak the email which does give an insight into his relationship with the veteran promoter.
