Curmel Moton Gives 5-Word Response to Rising Prospect Joining Gervonta Davis Promotions After Leaving Floyd Mayweather

Is everything going well at Mayweather Promotions? The boxing world is already abuzz with the news of its longtime CEO and Floyd Mayweather Jr.‘s close confidant, Leonard Ellerbe, leaving the group. Subsequently, it was reported that two rising prospects from the stables had moved on to new opportunities. The latest report suggests that another promising contender may have some concerns with the promotions.

It appears that he went online and hinted at developments in his career. However, news quickly spread, catching the attention of Floyd Mayweather’s young prodigy, Curmel Moton. Without hesitation, Moton responded swiftly, making his thoughts known. The 18-year-old last fought on the big PBC-Amazon Prime card, headlined by the Tim Tszyu-Sebastian Fundora title clash. Since then, there have been reports of him appearing at other big events, such as Canelo Alvarez–Jaime Munguia‘s Cinco de Mayo showdown and Gervonta Davis‘ June 15 comeback. However, Moton has yet to make a return.

Cryptic tweets: Curmel Moton jabs back

Winston-Salem, North Carolina-born unbeaten boxer J’Hon Ingram declared, “News dropping new promotions, ain’t no mo holding me back.” Immediately, a user asked where he planned to move. The 4-0 prospect replied, “GTD,” alongside the steam from the nose emoticon. 

Curmel Moton certainly didn’t want to miss out on the banter. He promptly joined in, playfully accusing Ingram of constantly making jokes and then updating his reactions. “Yo ass never stop trolling (laughing emoticon),” wrote Moton. Now it’s unclear. Is Moton under the impression that the North Carolina-born boxer, who made his debut two years ago, is genuinely joking?

Or is that his way of taking a dig at a colleague for leaving just when the going gets tough? There are no clear answers, but ‘BoxingNews24.com’s article might provide some clues. According to the story, J’Hon Ingram has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with his career’s trajectory at the Mayweather promotions.

The year 2022 was busy for J’Hon Ingram. After debuting professionally on February 26, he fought twice more that year. However, after that active schedule, for the next two years, he barely entered the ring. Finally, he had a fight on March 9 this year. It’s worth noting that he joined the Mayweather stable in late 2023. This latest report on the Mayweather promotions comes after two other potential standouts, Richardson Hitchins and Jalil Hackett, joined Matchroom Boxing.

Promotions: Amidst Speculations and Facts

Speaking of Gervonta Davis Promotions, or GTD Promotions, the lightweight champion’s online spat with his former promoter and mentor, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has already reached legendary status.

But in the recent past, he hasn’t hesitated to launch verbal digs at Curmel Moton either. Remember their exchange? Moton posted a collage of photos with Mayweather Jr. and dubbed it ‘the ‘best team in boxing’. Davis shot back with clinical precision, “Yo a** won’t be on June 15 card either.”

Users questioned Curmel Moton’s absence from the June 15 Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez twin-headliner. In response, the Mayweather prodigy told everyone to be on the lookout for more news from his end. He couldn’t join the card on account of some other engagement. Once again, ‘Tank’ joined with an advisory for the 18-year-old: “Next time, be a man of ya own…lil clown a** ni**a. Don’t forget the reason why you throwing up that ape sh*t.”

Many fans may view the recent events at Mayweather Promotions as a result of ongoing developments, from Floyd Mayweather’s rumored financial issues to Ellerbe’s departure. These factors may have contributed to the current challenges facing the promotion.
