Can hardly wait to see what the offers will be with the purse bid
That should give Shakur an idea of exactly where he stands financially in the boxing world

Where's Hearn with an offer?

Shakur is now finding out what fans think of his boring performances. You reap what you sow and Shakur has sown some real stinkers. Whatever they're offering , it's more than I would pay him to fight anyone. My number would be a big fat ZERO.

Anything over $50 is too much.

Reality will check him quick
Biatch and moan all he wants after the bids are in

Why would anyone pay Stevenson more to potentially break his hand yet again and give us a boring fight? Dude has done absolutely nothing in the last couple years. For once, Oscar is 100% correct. Prove you can even get through a tough fight before demanding top money.

Hey that's how the free market works. Between Tank and Shakur one has PPV success because the people like KOs and one can't sell at all because the people don't like skipping around the ring. It is what it is and if Shakur wants to change it he needs to change his fighting now!

I realistically think Shakur is going to be hit with a huuuge reality check if/when this goes to purse bid.
Eddie knows exactly what Turki offered and he's not going to be willing to pay more than that because he'd rather have Turki fund it anyway. Oscar isn't going to go over it either because he's already satisfied with the price. I highly doubt he's gonna get Top Rank or PBC join in for a price higher than Turki.

Best case he gets essentially the same thing that was offered anyway. Worst case he ends up getting less if Turki decides to hold a grudge and not be willing to fund it anymore and a small bid by Matchroom or GP wins.

Is the Turki season winding up ?
