    At one point , like everyone , Shakur will get tired and slip up and get caught but it will be late in the game
    I guess we'll see, if they ever fight.

      So what's your guesstimate?

      Shakur was offered $3 million per fight for five fights regardless of who he fights by Top Rank. What should PBC offer him for a fight with Davis?

        Would serve him right if he got offered 20% or 2 million. He thinks he's some big seller but can't even keep his home town fans in the arena. He never steps up when he's outclassing a guy and goes through the gears. If he's up against Tank we all know he's running the whole fight. Do people think he's some huge PPV draw? Because skills or not, it's the ability to draw and put butts in seats that matters when it comes to negotiating purses.

          Stevenson had been saying his fight with Davis would be the equivalent of Super Bowl in boxing. Is he right about this?

            The bigger question is who would Wahid fight next if its not Shakur? Berinchyk? Davis? Neither have name recognition. Pitbull is busy with Zepeda. Shakur will get like 30-35%

              That's what many have been wondering about. If it's not Shakur, who else is there for him? Loma has been giving hints of retirement when in his post fight with Kambosos. So I wasn't surprised at all he's taking his time and refuse to accept offers.

                  I would say 35%

                  Love him or hate him, Tank is the cash cow of American boxing, but Shakur is a perennial P4P level fighter & a world champion in 3 divisions, who just had the most watched fight all year on ESPN.

                    Split percentages mean nothing if there's no real dollar figure in it. Nobody knows what the size of this fight is. Or what is the exact dollar value of the pie.

                      Shakur turned down a 5 fight deal offer from Top Rank worth $3 million each regardless of who he fights.
                      Of course, he's expecting to get at least $5 mil minimum guarantee from the Tank Davis fight.
                      I don't know. It's not my money. It's PBC to decide.
