In a shocking twist that has stunned the boxing world, Calvin Ford — the legendary trainer behind Gervonta “Tank” Davis — has officially cut ties with Floyd Mayweather amid allegations of a $402 million financial scam connected to Mayweather’s business empire.
The news broke during a fiery interview Ford gave earlier this week, where he didn’t mince words. “He’s done,” Ford said bluntly. “I don’t want any part of what’s going on over there anymore.”
This isn’t just a personal rift — it’s a bombshell that could send ripples through the entire sport.
From Brothers to Rivals
For years, Calvin Ford and Floyd Mayweather were considered allies — two major forces helping shape the careers of young boxing stars. Their most notable collaboration? Gervonta “Tank” Davis, who rose through the ranks under Mayweather Promotions with Ford in his corner.
But tensions had reportedly been building behind the scenes for months. And now, following allegations of financial mismanagement and fraud involving Mayweather’s investments, Ford is stepping away — and speaking out.
“I stood by a lot of things. But I can’t stand by this,” Ford told Boxing Underground.
“This is bigger than boxing. We’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars missing. Lives impacted. And silence from Floyd.”
$402 Million Gone?
The explosive allegation making waves across the sports and finance worlds is that Mayweather — or those closely tied to his business operations — may be involved in a massive scam that defrauded investors of $402 million.
Exact details remain murky, but reports suggest the money was funneled through a series of shell companies and high-risk ventures that promised astronomical returns. Now, sources say lawsuits are already being drafted, and federal investigators could be involved.
Mayweather, known for his lavish lifestyle and “Money” persona, has yet to publicly respond to the growing storm. But insiders say he’s feeling the heat — and Ford’s dramatic exit only adds fuel to the fire.
Calvin Ford Draws the Line
In the world of boxing, loyalty runs deep. So for Calvin Ford — a man respected not just for his technical knowledge, but for his principles — to speak out this strongly is unprecedented.
“I didn’t get into this sport to chase jets and jewelry,” Ford said.
“I came here to build fighters. Build men. And if someone’s out here hurting people financially, morally — I won’t be part of it.”
He also hinted that more people within Mayweather’s inner circle may soon come forward. “This ain’t over,” he warned. “There are others who know what’s going on. They just haven’t had the guts to speak up yet.”
What Does This Mean for Gervonta Davis?
One of the biggest questions now is how this drama will impact Tank Davis, the superstar lightweight whose career has been linked with both Ford and Mayweather for years.
While Davis has remained silent so far, fans and analysts alike are watching closely. Will he stay loyal to Mayweather Promotions? Or will he follow Ford — his longtime trainer and mentor — into a new chapter?
“If I’m Tank, I’m making moves now,” said one industry insider. “This is going to get uglier before it gets better.”
The Beginning of the End?
The boxing world is no stranger to controversy, but this latest scandal could be the most damaging to Mayweather’s legacy yet. With federal eyes reportedly watching and once-loyal allies like Ford jumping ship, the empire Floyd built might be on the verge of crumbling.
And if Ford’s words are any indication — Mayweather may be running out of time and friends.
“He’s done,” Ford repeated. “There’s no coming back from this.”
