Shakur Stevenson vs Artem Harutyunyan - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

[-Kev-]

$15m for 5 fights seems appropriate for a non PPV fighter. That’s $3m guaranteed per fight. Idk how much Stevenson thinks he’s worth, but he will have to prove that with good PPV numbers. If he wants the big money, he has to show he can generate it.

Can Shakur generate $15m in 5 fights? Maybe he can generate a lot more than that, but he needs to prove it by carrying a PPV card. For starts, be the A-side of a PPV main event that sells 100k buys at $80. That’s $8m. Half of that goes to the network and production. If he can sell like Tank, who sells around 300k-350k, that would be really good. That’s what Pacquiao and Mayweather were selling before fighting DLH.

You have to show that you can generate buys, attract a lot of buyers. Then you can demand more money.

Allright I'll be the one to ask.

Who the hell is this guy Stevenson is fighting?

And Bradley already talking about chess and shit...

Frank Martin's last opponent prior Gervonta Davis, it was quite close though Martin won decisively.

He hurt Martin to the body in numerous occasions, reason why Tank was hinting Martin was weak to the body. Other than that, I don't know much about him besides that.

Is Artem very loose or very nervous?

Relatively unknown, gave Frank Martin all he could handle 15 months ago and hasn’t fought since

Has Stevenson ever fought as a main event for PPV? As far as I am aware he had consistent fights in Thursdays recently and mostly Draws an audience of 500-800K viewers depending on the opponent.

Appreciate the knowledge, fellas.

Stevenson is one of the "faces", he needs to put a guy away that gave Martin problems.

Just my two pennies.

How is that the Zepeda card was on the West Coast and finished an hour ago and the Shakur card is in NJ and will continuing along past midnight?

These Top Rank/ESPN cards are always scheduled way too late.

Round 1 to Artem

[Pacdbest2]

Foster fight is a statement/warning from top rank that boring fighters need to pick up the action! Or else will give the fight to the other guy! Stevenson is next!
