Everything appeared to be a done deal. Then it wasn't. Frank Martin and Shakur Stevenson, according to multiple reports, agreed to meet up in either mid-November or early December with the vacant WBC lightweight title on the line.

Frank Martin Wanting 50/50 Split Led To Fight Collapsing.

Who is Frank Martin, and what has he done in the sport, what's his worth?

No matter because it is just more of the same old PBC, Al Hayman, Mayweather Promotions, ERROL SPENCE, bull sheet.

Clown down, clown in the dirt, clown looks better gone.

It's giving off Charlo Andrade vibes..Lord knows how fast age 26 and 28 turns into 30+

It’s how COWARDS do business when they DONT want to fight, then they claim that the opponent didn’t want the fight.

I don't think many people are screaming hell about this fight not happening. Casuals don't even know what's going on and who this Frank Martin is.

There's nothing one can do about it. We move on and forget about it.

I'm more interested in seeing Frank Martin vs Edwin Delos Santos. These 2 are about the same level all around.

Let's just hope this fight happens next, instead.

I bashed Martin for backing out of the fight. I blame Stevenson now. Neither fighter has proven that they are the man yet, just men who are deserving of opportunities.

I'm tired of the "I'm the A side, you're the B side" talk. Sometimes in order to sign on the dotted line the money has to make sense. Stevenson basically wanted Martin to fight for nothing.

After sanctioning fees, paying your team, and paying your taxes, fighters are left with 25% of the offer.

None on these top ranked fighters should be fighting for peanuts.

I see one of the reasons Martin backed out now.

Shame on Shakur. He cost the fans a good fight, and a chance for one of these fighter's stock to grow.

I'm tired of this crap!!!!

50/50 is crazy! That's a DUCK! I bet he wouldn't even think about demanding 50/50 from Tank! I would hope Shakur wouldn't even demand 50/50 from Tank! Too many fighters out here don't know their lane! Bivol, Usyk, Ruiz, and now Frank Martin!!!

Shakur acting like a superstar A side without deserving it. What was the actual split offered? I hope Santos sleeps him.

shakur still has his confirmation money

50/50 sounds fair. It's for a "vacant" title. Neither is full champ at this division.
