Leonard Ellerbe has landed himself in some hot waters with the boxing community after laughing at a consoling message from Gervonta Davis to a hardcore boxing fan. However, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions was clearly unaware of the fact that Davis’ message was genuine. Nevertheless, fans didn’t see it that way!

Everything began with a simple tweet from Ray Jackson, updating his followers about his father’s declining health. So, ‘Tank’ came to Jackson’s aid, comforting him with the message, but Ellerbe took the tweet from Davis as a joke and proceeded to laugh at it. When the boxing world found the tweet, they were quick to reality-check the CEO of Mayweather Promotions.
