    I think he signs with Matchroom. PBC makes sense for The Davis fight, but Davis fight isn’t a guarantee & he’ll probably sit on the shelf for a while

      Stevenson needs to make a serious statement this Saturday simple and plain

        A tricky one, or not, to accuse Arum. Then again, Crawford left Top Rank and got the big Spence fight and now is a real superstar.

          Arum thought Floyd was making a mistake leaving Top Rank to pursue a fight with De La Hoya at 154, instead of fighting Margarito! Arum thought Crawford vs. Spence wouldn’t sell, too expensive! He was wrong both times! Arum admitted killing the Crawford vs. Pacquiao figh, because he didn’t want Pacquiao to get hurt, and that hurt Bud’s career! That speaks volumes!!!

            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.

                The Bobfather waited too long to provide the significant fights. He's been too protective.

                Even the Navarette fight was stalled. And Nava got beat by a nobody. It's gone forever. Don't know what Arum was thinking. Muratalla fight could have been made also, but Bob didn't try to veer away from typical promoter stuff protecting valued fighters from each other.

                  Funny how promoters never said this about Sweet Pea or Hector Camacho.

                    Stevenson keeps pricing himself out of big fights. Only so much a promoter can do for him if he isn’t willing to take real risks and accept what he is worth. His boring style is not fan friendly either. If he signs with another promoter what fights does that get him? Even signing with PBC doesn’t guarantee and fight with Tank.
