Tank Davis sued for bouncing a $486,000 check

Gervonta "Tank" Davis has been sued by a New York jeweler for allegedly stiffing him on a $486,000 custom jewelery order. Davis, who holds the WBA regular title at lightweight, is training for a big pay-per-view fight vs. four-division titlist Leo Santa Cruz, now scheduled for October 31st. Here are the details of the allegations [which, by definition, have not yet been proven true] against Davis, as taken from a lawsuit filed on September 23rd by jeweler Elliot Buryev and his company, Eliantte & Co.:

In November 2019, Davis requested Elliante to manufacture and deliver several high-end items of valuable jewelry. Specifically, Davis requested: (1) a diamond tennis chain; (2) a custom tank charm with emeralds and diamonds; and (3) a watch that was custom set with diamond baguettes. The value of the requested jewelry was $486,671.25 including taxes. Davis promised Buryev that if the jewelry was manufactured for him, he would pay the invoiced amount of $486,671.25. The jewelry was then custom-made to the exact specifications requested by Davis and manufactured through many hours of careful labor and construction. Davis requested that Elliot fly to Los Angeles to deliver the jewelry and Eliantte did so at his own expense on November 29th. Davis accepted the jewelry and took possession of it.

In exchange for the jewelry, Davis delivered a check made payable to Eliantte for the full amount of $486,671.25. Davis proudly wore the jewelry in public, but his check was returned unpaid due to insufficient funds in his account. Davis' check was either counterfeit or was drawn on an account that had insufficient funds to cover the face amount of the check. Davis [is accused of knowing that] when he delivered the check, he did so with fraudulent intent, knowing the check would not be paid.

After more than nine months for demand for payment, and repeated representations by Davis and his business manager and others that payment would be forthcoming, no payment at all has been made to Eliantte for the jewelry. This was no accounting error or mistake. Since the check was returned for insufficient funds, Davis has promised to make payment repeatedly but failed to do so. This is [allegedly] a pattern for Davis, who has done the same thing to other merchants. For example, it has been publicly reported that Davis has been sued in Pennsylvania for having presented a counterfeit check to a merchant known as Shyne Jewelers, a jeweler in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in exchange for, among other things, a $130,000 green Richard Mille watch, a $30,000 Rolex and about $72,000 worth of pendants. [Elliante's attorneys believe] the Pennsylvania check was a counterfeit.

Elliante is seeking not only the $486,671.25 purchase price, but also additional fees in the form of punitive damages and attorneys’ fees and expenses that Eliantte has incurred chasing down "this clear and obvious debt."

He's a rare one I perfectly nailed. Seeing him outboxed by Ponce de Leon and his jab was telling.

Ahh I see.. I didn’t nd follow him much until he fought Mali

What a loser. Maybe he should stop ducking the best, take his beatings and pay his debts.

The logic behind unknown Gervonta Davis not signing for the Lomachenko fight. If Unknown Davis (hereafter abbreviated UD) doesnt fight Loma now for 4m$ then in 3 years he can get 40m$ and in 10 he can get 100m$ for that fight.

This logic is very flawed. Before the 10 year bell gets rung UD or Loma will have lost a time or two and lost some of their market value.

Also, what would have happened if FMJr would have waited 4 years to fight Manfreddy? Another four to fight superstar Diego Corrales? 5 before fighting dangerous Arturo Gatti? Another 5 before taking on superstar Zab Judah?

FMJr would never have become a known fighter and would never have gotten a dance with De La Hoya.

Keep ducking Davis

4 million? Lol, loma has never made that.

[world ranked]

Why would the jeweler not requested a certified check? One bounced check in that amount you in serious trouble.

Especially flying to deliver for a personal check. Lot of coin, but how are you getting on a plane without secured funds?

Davis is definitely a more gifted talent than Broner, but his lack of discipline is on about the same level so he'll hit the wall soon.

[margaret thatcher]

wishful thinking, he's a stud in the ring, plenty of dudes who were great fighters but had issues outside of boxing

It ain't wishful thinking. It's just an observation from a person with a knowledge of the sport.

He's an exciting fighter to watch, and I'd rather see him continue to be as good as people think he can be for a while to come, I just don't expect that'll be the case.

He'll beat Leo though. Leo's got nothing to keep him off him.

[jimcook]

he probably wont even beat the scales.

No proof Tank can fight on the elite level either until he fights an elite opponent.

[chinarich]

So the jeweller produced custom work without asking for any payment upfront? Who still even uses cheques?

[ldlamb]

Grocery stores and gas stations

Never said there was. It's my opinion.
