Shakur and Matchroom are done

[MulaKO]

I'm pretty sure Hearn isn't losing sleep; he has enough promotional experience to build some callous over fighters leaving. Do you think Arum was losing sleep when Shakur left?Promoters win some and lose some. Ultimately, the one who's taking the biggest gamble is Shakur.

Loss of money = loss of sleep
The biggest fight that can be made is Shakur vs Tank
I'd be pissed

He’s about to sign with Lou DiBella.

One fight deals need signatures, too, brother.

They are talking about two fight deal

Yes I do
Slow Eddie was counting on that Davis fight coming through plus all the media publicity and work that has gone into it only to be on the end of nothing
Slow Eddie got him big money for Padley and subsequently getting him his pay for Zepeda
Wouldn’t you be pissed

I don't see how MatchRoom wouldn't be owed for getting the Zepeda fight signed. Part of his job was to make fights happen for Shakur...

Not knowing the circumstances of the deal but not hard to see that Matchroom was the stepping stone
I just think Shakur is showing a side that you really shouldn’t show in business
If I were a promoter , I certainly won’t have Shakur in my sights unless he agrees to some stringent clauses

There should be no surprise. Once you become an established name in the sport, no reason why you should sign long-term deals with any promoter.

Turki is what these guys' main target. They go to Fast Eddie first because he's the one accessible everywhere serving as bridge to Turki.

It's the same with Crawford's case. He went to Fast Eddie first, then when he found a way to talk directly to Turki, Fast Eddie no longer had any point of being the middle man.
All roads lead to $$$$$$$$$$$$. Like they say, "follow the money."

Greeed baby, greeed.

Crawford has never been with Matchroom.

Matchroom were promoting Madrimov who was fighting Crawford.

But Shakur/Davis is no guarantee. Who's to say that Davis wouldn't do the fight if MR was involved?

It's a foreseeable hazard of doing business, which is why promoters should learn not to take it too personal. I think Hearn would lose some sleep if Ennis leaves. I think Ennis' success is gradually becoming personal for Hearn.

Many of them have never been with MR. Point is Fast Eddie is the one roaming around all over the place talking to everybody. He's the access point. Only Hearn has direct access to the Saudi promoter.

That's not long term.

Black fighters when they got established want nothing to do with Hearn. Ennis would part ways soon.

It's naive to think Hearn would be able to make Shakur vs Tank. He's not even needed in this fight. All it takes is Turki's money.
