Comments Thread For: Turki Alalshikh 'requested' Joe Cordina and William Zepeda for Shakur Stevenson

[Hustle]

Lol Cordina/Stevenson is a WEAK ASS fight and he should be facing Zepeda instead followed by Tank. After all, that's what the fans want to see and what the Saudis initially promised - 50/50 COMPETITIVE matchups. However, after delivering a few top cards, it looks like the Saudis have gone back on their word and started stacking cards with "turkeys" instead (just like regular promoters) i.e. Cordina/Stevenson, Eubank/Szeremeta, Opetaia/Massey, Sheeraz/Denny etc.

Riyadh season my ass!

Didn't you read the part where it said Zepeda had other plans?

Turki can only deliver when 2 fighters want it.

Benavidez/ canelo? Canelo said no
tank vs haney? Tank said no

Turki can only offer. He cant make ducks fight

Lol so Zepeda had something bigger and better lined up than fighting Shakur on the undercard of arguably the second biggest fight this year? Yeah right

Even if that were true, it’s better for Shakur to WAIT than stick him in a meaningless fight against a fighter coming off a loss or put it on a different card altogether.

Also, Turki has been putting together a few other turkeys like I already pointed so it’s NOT an isolated incident.

I read somewhere that Zepeda is having a kid around the time that they wanted to fight , he's taking off the rest of the year supposedly.

Fair enough but didn't Turki just sign a new deal with Golden Boy & Top Rank? That's PLENTY of fighter's to choose from (assuming Zepeda's out) including Lomachenko or undefeated Lightweight prospects Muratalla & Keyshawn.

However, if Bob plays hardball then put him in a unification bout against recently crowned WBO champ Berinchyk instead of a guy coming off a loss at Super Featherweight.

That just STINKS of lazy match-making!

[Phase III]

Beterbiev is with Arum. Turki made Bivol vs Beterbiev, your logic doesn't add up. Fury has been co promoted by Arum since after Fury vs Wilder 1.

Turki has an event in Cali. Was Arum involved in the promotion? Absolutely not. If Turki has an event in Vegas or anywhere in the U.S., will Arum be involved? Absolutely not.

Go watch video of Arum at a Turki event in Saudi. Watch how Turki just barely acknowledged Arum and kept walking. Arum May have a fighter, (Beterbiev) of interest like any promoter and Turki will use that fighter.

Turki does not like Arum and Arum is not welcomed to be another of his lap dogs like Hearn, Warren, and Brown.

I hope Espn doesn't renew their contract with TR and they go sign with Amazon.

No need to hope. ESPN is out. Amazing how boxing media fails to cover such an important issue. ESPN is exclusively working with the UFC when Arums contract expires in 2025. Boxing and Arum are out.

Jared Anderson is Promoted by Arum and was ABSOLUTELY in Cali. Go to Top Rank Youtube and you will see the LA Event Highlights on that Youtube TR Channel . The conference, the weight in (promoting the event), all the fight highlights are there from that event. Know your sh_t.

It's a fact that zepeda said not right now. It's like you dudes don't follow boxing.

BS...Zepeda has already agreed to fight Kambosos/Farmer in Saudi on November 16th for an easy payday (google it). Are you seriously telling me that he couldn't have faced Shakur just ONE month earlier? Yeah right

It looks like Hearn has gotten into Turki's head and convinced him to put together two one-sided STINKERS i.e. Stevenson/Cordina & Zepeda/Kambosos/Farmer before having the winner's face off next. In other words, the Saudis have already gone BACK on their word of staging 50/50 competitive matchups only and are now behaving like greedy, money-hungry regular promoters.

Hopefully this one BLOWS up in their face just like Wilder/Parker did which derailed the Joshua/Wilder superfight permanently!
