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 [/QUOTE

Shakur can’t hit. This is a very bad style match up for him.
Zepeda would just swarm the shit out of him with volume punches.

What is Stevenson going to do in order to fight him off of him; By jabbing and backing up all night? Shakur matches up better against Gervonta Davis, who is the flip side of William Zepeda.

If Zepeda ever fought that type of style against Tank; Then He would get the living shit countered out of him and subsequently stopped because unlike Shakur Tank can hit.

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.

So Turki wants to lower the price for Shakur vs Zepeda now...okay, I guess that is unfortunate for Shakur. That being said does DLH even WANT to let Zepeda fight Shakur after how he did against Farmer x2 to be honest?

After the Haney failure and what followed for Shakur I won't be surprised if he ends up getting even less offered from DLH or not getting Zepeda at all by rejecting Turki.

Not exactly a beggar, just someone who needs to corner opponents into fighting him. [Think: Mike McCallum, Saoul Mamby, Jimmy Young]

Nah, just unfortunate for his Schmexcellency is all.

Good question, I would guess the answer to be NO.

Golden Boy will submit a low bid. Shakur's best hope is for his promoter(Matchroom) to come up with a big bid number or else he's stuck taking a low purse or dropping his title...

[ShoulderRoll]

If they can’t reach a deal then let it go to purse bids and let’s see who is the one that ducks out.

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

When you’re with golden boy or matchroom yes

But the thing is we just saw this in 2018 with Dazn. They came to the US with billions and thought they were going to take all the fighters. They only got a handful. Even tho they paid them well they eventually let them go because they never made a profit. All those clowns who just 5 years ago were trying to convince us that Dazn was going to takeover have completely abandoned them. Now they have been on the Turki train for the last 12 months. Pretty soon they are going to be sucking white (Dana) balls and telling us to follow TKO and not PBC!

Perfect post. After it’s become clear that Turki doesn’t have “unlimited funds” that the “anyone but Haymon” crowd tried to convince us he had, Dana white will become the new great white hope. The Turki craze looks EXACTLY like the Hearn/Dazn craze did 5-6 years ago. The incels want “an American takeover” so very badly, they look for a messiah anywhere they can get one in hopes that someone unseats Haymon and oddly he keeps moving higher and higher in his business agreements. Now he is chummy with Bezos…
