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

[Lefty0616]

It’s not up to him, it’s up to Zepeda who seems terrified to fight the champion

If I'm not mistaken, the article stated that Stevenson won't accept the fight because he's not happy with the offer.

Although it was no fault of his own, Stevenson was paid handsomely to fight a replacement fighter.

In good faith, he should take a cut to face Zepeda, especially if Stevenson believes he will win.

I believe Stevenson will embarrass Zepeda. If he was smart, he'd take that fight.

Taking this fight would be a wise investment on Stevenson's part. He gets closer to the A side in negotiations against anyone that he faces, to include Tank (and/or Roach).....after stepping in and beating Zepeda.

Stevenson is an intelligent boxer. Now it's time to match this intelligence as a business man.

It might come down to Matchroom outbidding Golden Boy.. I'm wondering how much Eddie would be willing to pay...

For Shakur to take the fight , that is exactly what’s gonna have to happen
Not sure how much considering he refused 3 million a fight

I think it had more to do with being stuck to a 5 fight deal at 3 million per fight, instead of just a 2 or possibly 3 fight deal. I think Shakur would be ok with 3 million per fight for 2 fights but would want to make more after the 2nd fight. Just my opinion of course....

Oscar is secretly on the phone with Turki and Hearn discussing how they can make Shugah Shakur the black villian. Eddie Hearn signed Andrade hoping he was going to lure Jermall over to Dazn. That failed and Andrade was forced to fight all Euros and he ended his contract playing the black villian role in his own home state. Devin left Showtime to sign with Hearn and Dazn and they did to booster his profile. Now Devin is getting laughed at and booed by Mexicans on GBP shows. SAD! If Boots resigns with Dazn he will end up being the black villian to Virgil Ortiz. Horrible!!!

LOL....Dang DC, quite the imagination there....

With Tank rematching Roach in June, Shakur more than likely will have to settle for a Zepeda purse bid. I think Oscar will purposely bid low just so Shakur will turn down the fight due to the low offer. Keeps Zepeda from fighting Shakur and making it appear that Shakur is the one avoiding the fight.

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

Nothing wrong with being the black villian, all you gotta do is win the big fight.

Yea you're right. It's sad but that is our life!

If I were Haney, I would bury my head in shame until I got my get back from Ryan Garcia.

Ryan trashed this guys mom at the presser then preceded to man handle him halfway through the fight and beat his sorry ahh

That’s it , he wants top dollar and as we’ve seen in the past , he’s just not worth it unless he’s fighting at home selling seats and even then we witnessed people leaving fights early
Didn’t help that he fought an electrician his last fight and wasn’t that dominating win he would of needed
Lots of cons
