Comments Thread For: Arum On Stevenson: F--- Being The Unified Champion; Those Fight Aren't Gonna Draw ****!

[Verus]

Bob is so negative. What if Shakur wants to unify for legacy? Shakur needs the chance because he sees himself as generational talent. Give him the opportunity to make a mark on boxing history. Doesn't matter that no one knows those dudes, that's what the press is for, to create hype out of nothing.

It would be nice to see Shakur fight for all the titles, but it is not going to happen. The press doesn't create the hype, the fighter does. The press only reports the hype and unfortunately few fighters can generate much hype. Shakur for all his talking does not move the needle at this point in his career when it comes to attracting a large audience beyond the hardcore boxing fans.

Stevenson vs Navarrate

If I was Bob I'd be so confident Shakur beats those guys I'd let him fight on DAZN . I'm sure DAZN would pay real good money to have him fight on their platform.

He'll come out of those 2 fights as an undisputed champion , should deff boost his profile

Nobody wants to see Conceicao anymore than Ogawa or Gutierrez! Navarette or GRJ @ 130, or move him to 135! Even then, who does TR have @ 135 besides Loma?

Arum's stance is ridiculous since the jerkoffs he promotes are just as unknown, if not more unknown than the other beltholders at 130.

That said, arum has regularly matched top 3 guys in divisions he controls which is more than you can say for haymon, hearn, or oscar. The best free fights are almost always top rank fights.

Shakur ducked Ogawa and Gutierrez and ran up to 135.

I could never imagine someone saying this. Ill remember the quote. Shakur should knock off Robson as well, quick and in a hurry. Keeps his name out there and then he could call out the unification fights and Arum at the same time under the bright lights. It sucks but seems to be his best option

[Get em up]

I understand the point about revenue. him saying this is terrible optics.

Gives credence to the things Floyd and Crawford have complained about.

Long term being a unified champ should increase his earning power. But Bob wants a short term in house fight with Conceicao.

SMDH

This is basic c o c k block from Bob. He wants to maximize his earnings from Shakur which I understand but by allowing him to become undisputed he will make more in the long run. It's possible Shakur is looking at the bigger picture instead of trying to get rich quick.

If I were Shakur I would argue my point but then Arum will put him on the shelf and he wont get a fight. The bold says it all. You either give in to the old mans demands or dont fight.

If he went to 135 he could give him a tuneup against commey and then there is loma or haney after the later is done with kambosos.

Then perhaps he should fight Loma next. Bob is echoing the sentiments of many boxing fans who believe that Shakur should move up to the 135 lbs division. I know that was not what he was saying but he was definitely hinting at it.

Loma's probably going to get killed to be honest.
