Shakur is now fighting a part time electrician? Is this true?

When you say Devin was willing to bet on himself, I'm assuming you're referring to him accepting 30% to fight Kambo Down Under where that fight was guaranteed to do big dollar numbers.. Devin vs Shakur at that time was not gonna generate the amount of money that Kambo fighting anyone down under back then would. I'll ask you, how much money do you think Shakur was gonna make fighting Haney at 25% of the split??​ t.. oh derar u and your figures u just cant get it right, so 28% has now gone to 30% LOL it was 28% split that haney took and 2.8 mil fight purse he got!!!!!! get it right for ONCE and he went to OZ twice to get the titles!!!!! LMAO

Devin was willing to bet on himself. Why wasn't Shakur? He's either the truth or he's not. Failing to make that bet said it all for me. Here's Padley willing to bet on himself. Bakole too, and Parker for that matter. You get a chance to fight for the undisputed championship and prove yourself against the theoretical best, but you say, naw, I'd rather fight for a vacant belt? Come on now.

I'll ask you, how much money do you think Shakur was gonna make fighting Haney at 25% of the split??​ I can almost guarantee you that Padley's motivation for taking the fight has nothing to do with fighting for the undisputed championship and more to do with the amount of money that he was promised to take the fight. Hearn himself said that it was expensive to make the fight happen. One has to also be honest and admit that Padley and Shakur are two fighters at way different levels and Padley more than likely would never again get such an offer. Not so with Shakur, as he turned down the offer that he felt was unfair and is still getting paid millions more than when he turned down 25% to fight Devin. Shakur may never be respected or loved by hardcore fight fans, but he has made it apparent that he doesn't care what anyone thinks and he's gonna do it his way... I'm not a big Shakur fan, but I respect his abilities and the fact that he takes punches to the face for a living for my entertainment..

That might very well be a terrible attitude, but that more than likely was a decision made not only by Shakur, but his entire team that consists of his manager as well. They believed he deserved a better offer and that turning down said offer wouldn't affect his future earnings and they were right because he's still making millions and he's just hours away from making more millions on perhaps the biggest fight card to date. u are just making stuff up again like u did withthe number earlier u have NO IDEA who advised what behind the scenes none whatsover!! shakur is a big boy he most likely made the decision himself thats most likely thing actually if he wanted that fight he would have said hell yeah!!! ima going be undisputed next figth LOL like pretty much anyone else with a brian would have done!!!!!! im out u cant understand i DONT CARE!!!!

Boxing is a business first nowadays and boxers have number crunchers wisely advising them on the business end of boxing. Love him or hate him, Shakur is not gonna be retiring from the sport broke as a joke as some of the past greats have done. terrible terrible attitude with weak ass excuses and reasons right theree belts will always be ther for shakur hhhmm but undispted fight WONT lol dude think about this skakur had no belts very few fans OF COURSE he will get a lower split v a guy will ALL the belts and a higher profile as well DOH thats how boxing works!!! shakur wins he takes haneys plance like haney did with kanbo and loma tried to and shouilkd have got it possilbly but shakur with no belts and fans got given a shot and said NAH lol madness there amount of guys wouldhave bitten your arm off for that shot WOW

thats a terrible attitude to have what about daring to be great????? WOW haney is packing feathers remember?? perect for shakur so his fans say and he says?? golden opportunithy GONE v a guy he should beat and a fight that fans would have got interested in therefore would have done well and made them both good cash most likely :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: oh dear That might very well be a terrible attitude, but that more than likely was a decision made not only by Shakur, but his entire team that consists of his manager as well.

You're not an accountant but you seem to be good with numbers and at guessing fighters' potential future earnings.. Knowing how much Shakur stood to make at 25% of the purse is important to know if you're gonna criticize someone for turning down 25%. You're also implying that Shakur would have beaten Devin and that wasn't a guaranteed win for Shakur, thus he and his team wanting more than 25%. Devin was willing to bet on himself.

im not an accountant!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: shakur would have made loads more cash as undisputed would be fantastic for legacy, I WAS undisputeed at 135 hhmm not bad and would call all the shots and opponents and turki would pay him WAY more as a result hhhmmm its no brainer stuff really...... lol You're not an accountant but you seem to be good with numbers and at guessing fighters' potential future earnings..

By the way, how much money do you think Shakur was gonna make fighting Haney at 25% of the split??​ im not an accountant!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: shakur would have made loads more cash as undisputed would be fantastic for legacy, I WAS undisputeed at 135 hhmm not bad and would call all the shots and opponents and turki would pay him WAY more as a result hhhmmm its no brainer stuff really...... lol

Honestly i'm just happy hes still fighting at all. If this wasnt Saudi the fight probably would have been just outright cancelled. Gotta hand it to Turki for keeping the train rolling along.. Hearn mentioned in an interview that finding a last minute replacement was expensive....

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: i cent do this anymore LOL I see what you mean. It's silly to get passionate about opinions, that is why I respectfully disagreed with yours. What isn't an opinion though, is that Shakur will be fighting in a few hours on one of the best fight cards ever and will be getting paid more than he's ever been paid before. The amount he will be making today is more than what he would have made fighting Devin a while back. All in all, not accepting 25% to fight Haney was more than likely the right decision and he's still undefeated. Getting back to the point of this thread, Shakur fighting an electrician is not because of his choosing to do so. The reason is that Zepeda bowed out of this fight a while back and Schofield bowed out just a few days ago, leaving Hearn with the difficult task of finding someone last minute who is willing to fight Shakur today.... By the way, how much money do you think Shakur was gonna make fighting Haney at 25% of the split??​

All in all, I'd say he's doing good and turning down 25% to fight Devin hasn't hindered him one bit.. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: i cent do this anymore LOL

But Kambo is JUST as loud and ****y. Only with and accent. That guy is super full of himself He definitely went into overdrive once he got the belts, and became totally insufferable. But before he fought Teo he was an "I believe I can beat anyone because I worked hard in the gym" kind of guy. Then he started calling himself "The Emperor" and spent all his time sniffing his own farts.

u are off your rocker haney purse was 2.8 mil kambos purse was 10 mil!!!!!!!! do the math!!!! haney got 28% of the split for that fight shakur cant even fill his hometown yard and people walk out lol kambo is big in aussie and fills a big room think sense here!!!! You're right, Haney didn't get 40% against Kambo, he only got 30% of the split, but the fight was in OZ and generated big numbers down under... I think 35% percent would have been a fair split for Shakur, 25% was too low in my opinion, but more importantly Shakur thought it was too low as well. Shakur made around $3 million for his last fight and is more than likely making a bit more for tomorrow's fight. All in all, I'd say he's doing good and turning down 25% to fight Devin hasn't hindered him one bit.. Some folks criticize Boots for not having Eddie pay Norman Jr an extra $500,000, some folks criticize Haney for not offering Shakur 35% instead of 25%. By the way, how much money do you think Shakur was gonna make fighting Haney at 25% of the split??

He couldn't find any fit and healthy mall security guards or air conditioning repair men? Not true, he is fighting a full time electrician.

The greatest joy in boxing is seeing a massive underdog dethrone the coc.ky, mouthy champion. It's happened before, not just in cinema, and as a fan I'd love to see it again and again. Seeing Teo humiliated by Kambo was the last time I can remember, and that was joyous. But Kambo is JUST as loud and cocky. Only with and accent. That guy is super full of himself

This is a shocking revelation I had to ask myself Watts going on

I rather fighters be active, it is not his fault that the fight is not getting made and he already did his training camp. Also why not still get paid and give someone an unexpected pay day. So much you can do with such a short notice and no one is breaking the door down to fight Shakur.
