Get onto matchroom I think they're a better global promoter

Yes I agree 100%. MR is a much better global promoter outside of America than anyone else. They're just awful in America. So if Shakur wants to fight in Belarus or Nova Scotia then he should sign with Hearn. If he wants to shine brite in 'Murica then he knows where he needs to go.

27 years old got his money and his marketing with Bob ...............now the truth of his abilities and lack of power and edge inside the ropes show up he realizes it is time to make some money or it will be too late, Bob made his money off the boy, so now the kid dont like the way it feels and looks give the money back to Bob if it bothers him too much......

Give the money back?? What the fuq do you think Bob loaned him the money for those fights?? haha what an idiot. Don't worry Bob will still be making plenty of mullah off those chicos he has under contract haha.

"Al Mayweather will do is find him subpar latino fighters"....you mean like TR did by feeding him subpar latino fighters like Oscar Valdez? Shakur is 21-0 and the only black fighter on his record is a 35 yr old Jemel Herring......"turns into a Charlo or Tank".... which Charlo? The undisputed Jermell or the multi millionaire / multi weight champ Jermall? Or turns into Tank which is currently the most popular and richest American boxer. hahahaha You losers always try and use a black fighter to make your point just to have me smack your dumbazz down with facts!!! hahahahaha

Oh, your so smart. Valdez was 30-0 Shakur was 16-0 when they fought. Id say that that is a very RISKY fight for a professional boxer whose just coming up. You dont cause your not that intelligent.
Fighters under 20 professional fights SHOULD be spoon fed fighters in a proper way so they can develop into great fighters. Tank still chooses opponents like hes STILL under 20 fights.
As far as the Charlos. I mean BOTH. Neither fought top guys in their division. Thats no secret and next time you respond to me. Know your sheeit. I hate talking to casuals. Waste of my time. Tank to other boys who jave crushes on boxers. I dont.

Have fun figuring out what the open market thinks about your earning expectations Shakur.

Yessir have fun doing the same thing every other American in the job market has to do everyday. Go find your worth son. Whether it's an employee of Wal mart who is making 15$ pr hr and decides to leave to go work for Target to make $20 pr hr because they offer better healthcare for their kids or it's NBA player turns down his 5th yr player option for 20 million dollars because he wants to bet on himself in free agency where he can earn a $350 million 5 year contract then GO DO IT!!!!

Stevenson needs to be wise this weekend. Casuals call him a runner. It's called the art of boxing, not the art of knockout. Stevenson is a great talent and he wins in different ways. I hope he doesn't try to win in a way that only pleases casual boxing fans. I hope he tries to win in a fashion that the fight dictates.
Stevenson is stating that his star is rising slowly. The fact of the matter is he really doesn't have that many fights under his belt. He's not White, so he won't be a star overnight. He doesn't have the complexion for the protection. He is finally on the cusp of landing the big fights. Hopefully, he'll makes the most of these matchups.

Floyd nor, nor Canelo, nor Tank became household names overnight.

"He's not White, so he won't be a star overnight." **** you, racist piece of ****.

First of all I would like to thank you for acknowledging how smart I am...dummy! haha. It's so funny how you guys will not question the 30-0 record of a Mexican fighter like Valdez whom himself is a subpar fighter who has been fighting below sub-subpar Mexican fighters his entire career but you will dissect the 16-0 record of a black fighter is a fuqing joke. You pick apart who Tank is fighting when he 14-0 but salivate over a Valdez or Navarette fight when they are matched against bums no matter their record. Jealous boy! And to say Jermell never fought top guys in the 154 division tells me all I need to know about you. He was the 4 belt UNDISPUTED CHAMP YOU FUQING IDIOT!!! Please stick to watching futbol or darts and leave the boxing to us please. thanks!!!

How is he raciswhen he's just telling the truth. You obviously do not live in America so you don't have a clue what you're talking about. We are currently going through this whole process of making Caitlyn Clark a super duper star for one reason.

havnt heard that one since wilder lol

where are all these white stars in the sport that are being protected, i dont see any of them at all i dont think

Yep, that's Marketing 101. Go to Costco or Trader Joe's. You get a little free sample of something so good, you gotta buy the big bag. But for this to work,. Shakur has to really perform. If you eat that mediocre sample and it's just okay (or worse) you are not gonna pay for the big bag. Or PPV.

Yeap, this is the easiest way to explain shakurs case, his lousy dull perfomances have stalled his career not uncle Bob.

Arum is not the problem and never has been. This is the same ***ish guy who partnered with a black ****** Muhammed Ali in the 1960s during the height of the civil rights era. Arum has been promoting black fighters before ODLH was born and while Haymon was still promoting small time Motown shows in Detroit. The problem is America's love for boxing has all but vanished and TR has found their niche in promoting Mexican and east Euro fighters, neither of which has a pathway to American stardom (minus Canelo). So Shakur must leave for greener pastures which is PBC because Haymon has been running the market which turns black athletes / entertainers into American superstars. Plain and simple!!

Arum doesn't make big fights like he used to
