Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Lashes Out at Frank Martin, Believes He Ducked Showdown

[tomhawq]

Boxers have to lie to promote their fights. They let themselves get interviewed and say things people want to hear. This is what happened to Martin. And I think Frank, even though in his late 20s, is not meant to be fast-tracked, at this time anyway. I think his team has elaborate plans for him.

Looks like Frank will continue to chase $100 pay days. Backwards hustling if he doesn't fight tank. And a blatant duck.

People can call it a duck if they want but we have to remember, this is a business. Dudes needs to make paper too.

Shakur is high risk/low reward and has an unfriendly, safety first style. Stevenson is basically another Mayweather clone or Rigo 2.0.

3 vacant championship belts on the line - the top contenders are obviously going to go towards the path of least resistance.

Shakira is just going to have to suck it up and fight someone like Edwin De Los Santos or that dude from top rank Raymundo M.

Shakur is also calling Delos Santos' bluff as a replacement for Martin's withdrawal. Haven't heard from this other PBC fighter Edwin. Is he also pulling the same stunt as Martin? They call out Shakur every chance they get and when it is offered, they turn it down.

If these guys are just clowning, it's not funny anymore. This is serious business, it not sport.

Shakur is literally the most ducked fighter in the history of the sport.
Not saying he is the greatest but damn! No one @135 has any interest in fighting him. Not Haney, Not Tank not anyone.

What a shame!

Tank has called his name on numerous occasions, and the Shakur camp wanted Haney or Loma first.

I'm sure Martin will let everyone know his reasoning soon enough. I just don't see him ducking any smoke, he's a silent assassin. Not saying that he would beat Shakur, but he definitely could.

Frank said, its better to hear people say, there he goes, than there he lies.

Frank wanted 50% of the purse.

Put Shakur in with Tank--the winner will be lightweight P4P for the moment. If Tank is sharp he will take him out but if not, Shakur by dec.

Why?? So Shakur can price himself out of it.. He will never get 50/50 with Tank right now. He will never get paid like he thinks he should dealing with Top Rank

Not sure where Frank finds more than a million dollar offer and for who. For now he's ducking Shakur.

Where did you hear a million dollar offer? I haven’t heard that from anywhere else. Martin is like 28 already and I can’t see him turning down a million dollars. My guess is there’s some problem with the compensation to either PBC or Man Down Promotions regarding Martins services.
