He's being saying the same thing....Floyd doesn't show up for him when it's time to fight. Only when the media is around. He said this like 2 years ago in 2016 and was then thrown in a dog house where we didn't see Tank for a minute, only for him to pop up in a Championship fight vs Jose Pedraza. I think that's what he's talking about. Besides, he said this last week talking about Floyd:




and this yesterday:






Floyd doesn't be with his guys during Camp....AB has said this for the longest, and Tank has now picked up that mantle. Floyd just shows up for the pressers and pretends like he's involved, but he isn't. They've said it consistently for years. Only person they truly thank is the same person:




Let me elaborate on what I mean by separation.

So what he’s not there to babysit them? Here’s the real problem. The standards are different for a black boss and a white boss. If he were with a white promoter, he wouldn’t be saying none of this shyt.

Floyd has to be 100% business with his new fighters going forward. He’s relatively inexperienced, so this will come with time. Any new fighter he signs, he has to keep it business because some of these guys be thinking he’s their friend and get in their feelings when he keeps it business. Of course he’s calling to check in on his weight. It’s business.

I just think Floyd is too cool with these fighters at time and get confused when he keeps interactions just business. They wouldn’t have this confusion with someone like an Arum.

Tank aint asking the man to show up in camp, just saying that every time it's fight time, no one can get in contact with Floyd...he just shows up to pressers and pretends yall are best of friends.


Calling only to see if Im gonna make weight, but not if I need something? But im "the next mayweather" and your "protégé" you said?


That's wack and never will be understood by me. Yall different:manny:




Again...they only always thank 1 man who's always there for them, takes care of em/what they need, but never show up at the camp:






So all the "white man/black man" stuff is kinda a strawman argument being that Al Haymon is black.

Sounds crazy but I wouldn’t put it past floyd.

People having a memory blank about when Tank was sitting out for months at end after bashing Floyd.....then out of nowhere was announced as facing Jose Pedraza for the IBF Championship in Tank's 17th professional fight. Same Pedraza who perm ruined Tevin Farmer's eye & Tank was the underdog for that fight.


And, again, it's not like Floyd searched or his people found Tank....AB gave him to Floyd only a little under 3 years ago (AB vs Porter fight, June 2015, is the 1st time Tank even met Floyd).


Floyd doesn't have that "big bro/lil bro" relationship with Tank that he has with AB, so if they have an issue, it's legit. Not that "bromance" stuff AB/Floyd be having go on.

both say promising things :lupe:

If they would agree on a November-December fight now then I wouldn't even be mad if they fight one more time in the summer
point is that the deal should be done for this year
