What exactly is the reason why Tank won't fight Shakur?

Okay. If that's the narrative you want, "Shakur ducked Tank," the question of who would Tank fight next should be answered. Don't you think so? Who are on your list? He should steal the William Zepeda fight from Shakur.

Why can't NSB have news articles about this topic? Why is PBC so inaccessible to media people? Well... Could be any number of things... I can tell you one reason he is NOT avoiding Shakur, the punch.

Who would have thought Stevenson leaving Top Rank and becoming a free agent would have cold reception from Tank? Wahid himself is a free agent, left Floyd/TMT, and can fight anywhere. And Shakur is not even a KO artist, he's pillow-fisted and he's tiny as compared with Haney. It's a fk-up messy sport we have. I myself thought it's the fight to make for Tank knowing he doesn't have truckloads of options. It takes two to tango. The other half obviously doesn't want it. We know who.

People need to stop with the fake narrative with Tank. He just fought Ryan and Frank Martin back to back and got ducked by Loma. Shakur doesn’t want to fight Tank and that’s why he went to Matchroom and even said he’d consider going back to Bob. His team even confirmed that they were contacted. But I agree I don’t think the fight is happening soon and it’s not because of Tank Okay.

But I agree I don’t think the fight is happening soon and it’s not because of Tank I asked you in another thread if you like Tank vs Edwin De Los Santos. You can't even have an answer as if it's a complicated question being asked by Kim Jong Hun.

Because it's too dangerous of a fight for tank. Mark my words this sport is dying and networks are going to leave soon

But I agree I don’t think the fight is happening soon and it’s not because of Tank if tank opened his mouth and said i want to fight shakur the fight would happen 4 months later, fact

Fight is not happening anytime soon. Having said that, the other question that is not being addressed is Tank's next opponents. Stevenson hardly makes any difference to fans. He even fights on Thursdays when he was on ESPN. Then here we have Tank some people regard as a PPV star. It does seem he has more responsibility to make competitive fights. Don't you think so? I don't understand the laser-like focus on Stevenson and not Tank, who his fans say is the real face of boxing, not Canelo. People need to stop with the fake narrative with Tank.

And that's what I've been trying to address, but posters just won't stop talking about their dislike of Stevenson. I made a thread about Tank vs De Los Santos and only a handful chimed in. And the thread was meant to move away from talking about Shakur. Look at them they're bunching around Stevenson's threads just happy making they snide little comments who obviously doesn't care and capable of moving on with his smiling face having a handshake with the Saudi royal.

the real reason the fights not happening is because tanks fans might cry if he lost & shakurs fan might cry if he lost

Should say something that Shakur signed with the company that Tank doesn't work with. Hopefully the Zepeda fight happens, but looks like Shakur is looking for a steady diet of Rances Barthelemy and Angel Fierro types.

Who would have thought Stevenson leaving Top Rank and becoming a free agent would have cold reception from Tank? Wahid himself is a free agent, left Floyd/TMT, and can fight anywhere. And Shakur is not even a KO artist, he's pillow-fisted and he's tiny as compared with Haney.

It is ironic... Tank, who is a protected fighter, actually has a much better resume than Shakur. This despite the fact that both of them have lousy resumes. Shakur is younger... So it kind of makes sense. But these guys kind of need each other. Tank got a gift getting Ryan in the ring as a skeleton, but its still a better win than anything Shakur has done. Both guys could use the credability.

Let's make it very clear here. Zepeda vs Stevenson is not a done deal yet. Therefore, this can't be an excuse for Tank's camp not to talk to Shakur's team. Plenty of time to make the fight.

If the gag order is just a myth, then I don't know what these folks are so afraid about. They're like teen girls keeping secrets of their pregnancies. I mean what's the big deal? They've been in the ring numerous times in full-packed audiences. What is so scary about facing any youtube clickbaiter in comparison? I don't get it. Nothing wrong with admitting you're thinking of retiring and you're through with inhaling smoke directly or indirectly. We're humans. Haven't seen anything like it being concentrated on just one platform, PBC. It's been a pattern for years. Like they refer it to as "mysterious island" and rightfully so.

Could be true. Many of their fighters can't be reached for comments like Spence, Charlos, Tank Davis or any member of his team, etc. They can't even get Jermell's comments, for example, about the Madrimov vs Crawford in which he invoked his right as champ in recess. It's very strange in a sport where it needs lots of publicity, good or bad, to attract lots of people to watch boxing. Even stranger when PBC's venture with Amazon hasn't fully taken off. There's simply no point in keeping quiet. If the gag order is just a myth, then I don't know what these folks are so afraid about. They're like teen girls keeping secrets of their pregnancies.

How true is the alleged gag order being enforced by PBC on their people? It doesn't exist in other platforms. Could be true.
