Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson-Frank Martin: Vacant Title Fight Ordered By WBC

[maguirre]

This is a great fight but I"m not so sure Martin is ready for what Stevenson brings.
Still a good fight and nothing wrong if Martin loses his 0 to a guy like Stevenson.
And once more people, the fighter gets the last say about who he's fighting.
Don't be fooled by the posters who state it's the promoter's fault 'cause in the end he ain't gonna force a fighter to get in that ring without his blessing.
I've always stated that the boxer has the last say whether he's on the wrong side or not.
That is just an excuse from the boxer hence the Crawford vs Spence fight.
We all saw what happened, the truth is not hard to imagine the way Bud handled Spence.
Fighters usually have little say at the beginning of their career when they need to make their bones but not once they've proven themselves

True. The buck always stops with the fighter. Frank is a grown ass man and is an established fighter. His management team works for him, not the other way around. We'll soon see who actually wants this fight. Frank Martin stated he's ready for Shakur Stevenson:

Frank Martin: "I Feel Like I’m Ready For Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson"

Stevenson responded:

Shakur Stevenson Welcomes Frank Martin Showdown: "I Promise You I Will Fight Dude In A Heartbeat"

Frank martin should be begging haymon to make a tank fight for him asap. This way he can avoid the embarrassment of ducking shakur and he might actually be in a fight he has a chance of winning.

Can’t fughin force the guy
He gotta have final say

[rickJen]

They have about one week to negotiate formally.
Otherwise, the bidding would start.

With or without bidding, it's 50/50 split, right? It's for a vacant title.

Good fight if it happens , WAR Shakur !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good fight but boxing fans just need to shut the fuggup and call for the fight. Who cares about who wins and purse splits and shhh. Just demand the freakin fight and enjoy. You guys seriously cant get out of your own way. SMFH

So Shakur gets a title shot handed to him for nothing after beating 1 can, against an average hype job, and when he wins everyone will be calling him a great p4p fighter. Did I miss anything?

Any word from Tank Davis fighting Frank Martin so that the negotiations won't run into issues as expected in the Shakur clash? Martin/Tank are in the same PBC house.

Can Tank say something like this:

Shakur Stevenson Welcomes Frank Martin Showdown: “I Promise You I Will Fight Dude In A Heartbeat”
