Shakur and Matchroom are done

[MulaKO]

Seems like Stevenson had an opt out of his contract with Slow Eddie
His fight with Zepeda will be promoted by Big Lou DiBella as his new promoter

Not sure what to think about this lol

“In reporting on the July 12 card with Shakur-Zepeda, a source with knowledge of specifics told me Shakur split from Matchroom. James Prince, his manager, has hired Lou DiBella as his promoter for the event to handle things on their behalf,” said Dan Rafael on X. “He had a two-fight deal with Matchroom, did one, apparently, either side could opt out after the first. Worked out very well for Shakur Stevenson. Gets a mid-7-figure payday with Zepeda that’s mandatory without a purse bid, hires a promoter for a flat fee that will make much less than a promoter that had him under contract would get, and will be a free agent after.”

"Either side could opt out after the first", so it seems like there shouldn't be any hard feelings then. It's probably for the best, for both sides. Shakur ultimately wants Davis, so it's best he keeps his options open. It seems like he'll also be saving money with Dibella.

yeah so shakur is now happy with his 5 mil payday is he after throwing a hissy fit about the towel heads lol

he should be thanking turki for over paying him for pudsley and now another nice payday

I think he’s burning his bridges
Showing his true colours so to say

I wonder if Shakur getting demoted , Berlanga vs Sheeraz will be the headliner , had anything to do with him dropping Matchroom ???

Hmm, interesting perspective! You might be on to something....

Mad move to sign with Lou Dibella of all people but it's his career.

Was it the headline in the first place? Shakurs fights are boring which isn't good for a paying audience if it is going to be ppv main event

Same Dibella who only a few months ago tweeted "I don't enjoy watching Shakur fights"
