Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson on Tank Davis: Who Am I To Throw an Offer To The Biggest Star in Boxing?

Loma has been in TR in house fights virtually his whole career except when he fought Campbell. AJ has been in in house MR fights his whole career. So have about 80% of all active boxers. Why is it only an issue when it's a Pbc guy?

No doubt. Anyone dogging the lack of cross promotion fights & blaming it on one party ain't looking at whats going on or don't wanna look at whats going on. EVERYONE loves their in house fights. These cross promotion fights are high risk for short term gain, in house fights are low risk for great long term gain.

Welcome to free market capitalism in boxing. Buy low, sell high. This is why I'm pro a dictatorship in boxing like the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA & UFC have. There is never gonna be enough incentive for top guys to fight in a timely matter on a regular basis til boxing works like other sports where the sport is put above the money. And the thing is when you give fans what they want in a timely manner the money will come at a higher clip anyway so its win win.

Where in that post I'm making an issue of inhouse fights? Isn't that the point? If fighters on the same stable can't be made easily, what's more with competing promoters? Fix or clean your house first before letting visitors come in right? It always boggles my mind why people keep talking about a fight as if it's going to happen next month. Isn't it crazy? Exactly.

Fact of the matter is this fight is not going to happen anytime soon. People talk about it as if it's just around the corner.

And why are these article always one-sided? Any crumbs from the Tank camp's side? Anything from Ellerbe? Mayweather, PBC people? Anything at all?

Tank will be in PBC inhouse fights for a long time to come.

Look at your last sentence!

Look at your last sentence!

So? Aren't you looking at Martin, who got snubbed by Shakie? How about the Isaac Cruz rematch? There's also Delos Santos, whom I predict will do well with Shak as well as a possible upset. You get upset with a statement that is more likely to happen than not?

Shakur needs to sell himself a bit more, the casuals will really like his personality, this is the big picture.

Idk if they'll love him, some will obv. But I think he makes a great villain. In general I think guys who are Wu12 type guys the move is to be hated. Fans LOVE knockouts too much. The go the distance guys needs to be Jesus nice to get fans & Shakur is kind of a ****head lets not bs here. He's got this Shields or Floyd kinda vibe to him to me. And both of those two also weren't/aren't KO ppl. He's so confident it lands into c#cky quite often & ppl generally don't like that.

But overall yea Shakur needs to get fan engagement, whether its love or hate, to build up future fights more IF he wants all this money he's always so concerned with.

Just like Bud did! Time for Pbc!

Shakur needs to start stalking Tank. Get him at pressers, clubs, throw a rock through his window =---> whatever it takes.
