Comments Thread For: Frank Martin: "I Really Want William Zepeda"

And neither Martin nor Zepeda can command enough revenue to incentivize PBC or Golden Boy to make this fight. Plus Oscar flat out doesn’t match his guys thought. Mungia, Ramirez, etc. Remember Oscar didn’t want the Garcia/Tank fight.

I see what you mean and you’re probably right. Sucks but it’s the name of the game. They’d have to become superstars to then be able to make the money make sense and for that well, very low chance it happens. Takes years

It’s garbage isn’t it but that’s the reality of today’s boxing.

Yessir, it is what it is as they say

Be careful what you wish for. GBP might really start sending their offer. We're not talking about a big star here as compared to Shakur, who made you an offer of $1 million, which you confirmed and turned down. Are you even willing to fight on DAZN platform?

GBP won’t do that. Their business model is to make a lot of noise but verrrrrrry seldom actually put their fighters in vs quality opposition. It’s always been strange to me as Oscar was always willing to fight tough competition himself. It points to Oscar not really having confidence in his stable.

So was it an excuse by Shakur not to take Haney up on his 25% offer to fight for undisputed?

Shakur is a bigger earner than Haney as you know. That is why it would be different. Haney even admitted as such.

Now if say Tank or Inoue offered shakur 25% he should absolutely take it.

his work rate is su****ious? so the Mexican can't be that good? but if it was Tank, martin, shakur or haney you wouldn't question right? cause they are black so they have to be athletic.... what a racist jerk

The only racist here is the idiot with racism on the brain, making baseless weird assumptions before pulling the race card.
How do you even bring race into it from what I said, seriously? Just odd.

Any fighter that is averaging throwing in excess of 120 punches a round with intent and not getting tired, actually getting stronger, is suspect as hell. His race has nothing to do with anything he could be a damn Chinaman for all I care.
