"Tevin's a good little young kid...good little fighter...I thought he won the fight...just gotta keep on doing his thing...Gervonta's gonna be okay...in my eyes, Gervonta will be the biggest star in the sport...I'm 100% confident of that...I didn't really pay it no mind...Lomachenko's an outstanding fighter...I know he was told to say that...they gotta rush him," stated Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, who responded to Vasyl Lomachenko calling out Gervonta Davis. Check it out!

In other words he's not ready for Lomachenko

[IXR]

If you have a fucking belt. You fight the best! Period. If not, vacate and fight the rod salkas of the world.

[ArcherTheGolfer]

Thats embarrassing how they clearly dont want any part of loma

[foiek]

How did Lomachenko get three years older in the last two months? He's 29, not 32.

What a disgrace to the sport for them to continue to cower from the most difficult and pivotal challenges available to their boxer at present, and then to disingenuously attribute other boxers' willingness to test themselves against the best to comparable cynical motives; even going so far as to produce falsehoods in their shameful attempts to make excuses and protect their dwindling reputation.

Not everybody is as devoid of competitive integrity as your camp; and your deflections and misinformation aren't fooling anybody. Fight Lomachenko, or forget about the path to greatness. The boxing community must not and will not forget this embarrassment.

Letting him fight Loma is the DUMBEST thing they could do right now. Clearly he's not ready for Loma. It's easy for us to bark, scream, criticize and troll them as middle class boxing fans, but he's their future bread and butter. When you make money like they do, you have to be smart. They aren't trying to hear " if you have a belt you have to fight the best". They don't care about that. They're trying to make him a future cash cow like Floyd was and like Canelo is now. Y'all might not like it but.... it is what it is.

Funny how they keep trying to make the age gap bigger than it actually is, Lomachenko is 29 and Tank is 23, the age gap is not significant at all

[LimerickR]

If they don't fight it's Okay??! What the fuck Leonard?!... they clearly want nothing to do with Lomachenko... like I said before if they do end up making that fight they will wait till Lomachenko is old

[PUROoTARiMOROo]

His nostrils keep growing with all them lies

[Dreamchasingboxing]

If that’s case I’m done watching boxing. Why would I watch top fighters fight subpar competition.

[lorted]

Tank going to be another broner and stop talking shit he ducking lomachenko

[EfrenSanchezylilia]

Davis should fight anybody... they're protecting Davis

[shansaidshusheve]

I don’t care if he doesn’t fight loma next. I’m just happy that they are putting him in with competition and I hope his next opponent is some in top 10 or even top 5

[aintnoplum]

Let me guess haven’t watched it he’s ducking tho????

[fareedankrem]

Loma is hunting for that boy... feed the lamb to the wolf. #warloma

[kingreptile]

Lol! Picking out bugers must be very easy for this guy.

[kingdaleclarke]

Ellerbe nose whatsup.He nose that to be the best you sometimes have to get your nose dirty and fight it out.

[ldubbboxing]

Tank vs Jesus Cuellar April 21 for the WBA Regular at 130.

[votransport]

Just bring Gervonta to LOMACHENKO for lunch!

[KINGOFOUTWEST]

Tank ain’t scared. It would be a good fight but I don’t think tank is there yet.

[BBoiiLite]

Leonard Ellerbe looks like Mr Potatoehead
