Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson signs promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing

Can't blame him. PBC wants no part of him.

Sounds about right . . . Two dudes who love to blow a **** ton of smoke and never deliver.

Idiotic move. Zepeda is #1 in every sanctioning body. He doesn't have to go after the WBC belt next, and Oscar won't sacrifice him to Shakur if Shakur isn't signed to Golden Boy. This is about as dumb as it gets. Andrade, Farmer and Jacobs all learned the hard way. Now it's Shakur's turn.

I'm waiting for the bait and switch. Cordina pulls out and they bring in a real no name.

Happy for Shakur, I didn't think anyone would sign his overrated ass! He's solid as a boxer, but who has he faced and don't talk about dominating if you never hurt anyone and don't impress either! GTFOH, I like Eddie for going out and signing top guys them other US fighters people talking about were already finished!

That poor oldschoolG guy is about to lose his mind.

All the big fights and ends up fighting Cordina. Hearn talks big about getting all his new black fighters mega fights and till this day never has. Look who Ennis is going to fight. Farmer and Andrade were gonna be superstars with Hearn and those never got a big fight with him

Reading the article, I was thinking the same thing. For all this big talk and the mega fights, p4p ratings blah blah blah and this is how you start the new partnership - with a wimper?? Is this the sign of things to come?

[GoldenBackHand]

Tell me you don’t want the big fights without telling me you don’t want the big fights LOL..

Boo Boo Andrade is definitely the daddy of plenty of these fools

[Boxviewer]

I genuinely don't get it why some Americans are so mad at Hearn. Pro boxers are prize fighters who risk their lives in exchange for money and the job of a promoter is to make sure his fighter gets as much as possible $$$ in every fight he gets. So, guys use common sense.

The era of legacy is gone long time ago and you have to know that by now.

It doesn't matter who Shakur signs with he is still a boring fighter. High risk and low reward. He is going to be another Andrade.
