Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson still wants William Zepeda ? but won't 'bow down'

[Smash]

am i understanding this they have taken 2 mil off his price for zepeda which brings his purse down to 'way less' than he got for his last fight in saudi v padley

[champion4ever]

Zepeda gets frustrated with all the missing, then hooked & uppercutted to pieces by Stevenson.

People acting like Zepeda is Sonny Liston & Shakur's a young Cassius Clay... oh wait.

I vehemently disagree but respect your opinion.

towel boy??? oh dear

shakur not the brightest saying that

i mean turkey has just paid him millions to fight a gimme fight in padley how many millions only he and turki know and we dont even know what his new offer for zepeda is

So a stationary target

"Corner" figuratively, not literally.

Wouldn’t that be Zepeda ???

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

Fishnets just might do that, but there will be other more attractive bids.

I'm sure Matchroom and Top Rank will outbid Golden Boy, but by how much?? Realistically speaking how much money can that fight generate?? Neither Shakur nor Zepeda are big draws... The purpose of someone like Turki is to pay what the boxer's promoters aren't willing to lose financially. Now that Turki is not willing to overpay Shakur, the offers from Eddie, Arum and Oscar are what they believe the fight will generate. None of these guys are gonna be willing to lose money to make the fight happen.

I'm still interested in watching the fight and hope that Shakur accepts whatever the highest bid is. I just don't think the bid will be higher than $3.5 million..

You're right. Unless he's facing Tank, Shakur isn't seeing the type of money he wants. Yet.

we dont even know what his new offer for zepeda is

We know exactly what it is... it's lower lol.

[MulaKO]

I just read that Shakur got 10
million to fight Padley , his late replacement
Did he really think he would be getting that fight after fight ???
We all know why he was getting that money and it wasn’t for Padley
Turki has probably got an unimaginable amount of money but how do you think he got that kind of money ???
I'm sure it wasn’t by overpaying
Just sayin’
