Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Shakur Doesn't Have To Go To PBC Because We Control A Lot Of The Money Now

[57Blues]

Arum might be right in saying they got control of a lot of money, I don't know, but I don't think they have the money for Davis - Stevenson.

the fight will happen but only after they suck as much cash out of the preliminary fights leading up to the Tank - So Sure fight takes place. G.Davis is all about money and image and who he will not fight anyhow-- but he has made a lotta money with that out look. Tank thinks being Champ is about how many PPV fights you can get not titles you win. Sure sure is similar so they are a match made in promoter heaven. As Bobby said "it is all about the money in boxing" he finally got that out of his system..........

I always thought the whole point of Gervonta Davis not re-signing with Floyd and Ellerbe is to be able to fight whoever he wants, anywhere, anytime.

Now fans are back to this "wrong side of the street" excuses made famous by very devoted PBC guy Earl Spence Jr. And Shakur has to leave Top Rank.

Bob is one of the greatest promoters ever, and has a keen eye for talent however, like with Crawford on the back end of his career Bob will down him ass well and use the fact Shakur is so boring and not selling tickets. People want knockouts blood and guts! Shakur can box we all know this, but no one gets excited about his dam fights, their all the same.

Bob is a crook and a liar, but he does know money and boxing.

Most ESPN fights are non PPVs, which is good for the fans. Fights that would have been PPV on PBC/Showtime.

Bob aint lyin. Pbc overspent as usual. Im sure Als pockets are fat though.

Mannix reported he is negotiating with Amazon. Would rather pbc go to espn or dazn. No need for another channel/station.

Arum couldn’t deliver Lomachenko for Shakur. Just like he never delivered Pacquiao for Crawford.

I would bounce from Top Rank if I was Stevenson.

Tank will fight some can in January or February and his brainless fans will swear he just slayed Godzilla.

but they have all that money for the big heavyweight fight? more like the fighters will ask wayyyy more than what they worth, sounds more realistic

Yes, you'll probably be proven correct there. Thanks.
