Shakur and Matchroom are done

He is their last resort in my opinion. It's fine if you don't agree.

i think things are a lot more complicated than that, i mean floyd tank haney for starters and ennis who knows whats going on with him as well when he makes his choices

How is he even worth that honestly? No way with live attendence or buys they recover what they pay him, the opponent, and the rest of the card.

Eddie really needs to get a revenge against Dibella

Eddie Hearn has been trying to sign Tank ever since I can remember.
Hearn could not even get to talk to him in a conversational level.
"I don't trust Hearn," says Tank in an interview. So you have to wonder where that's coming from.

imagine shakur getting his 5 mil payday for this fight and the reason hes getting less than originally agreed is because turki pays more for fights in saudi, and there were people on here who thought turki paid bud crawford 2.5 mil for his fight and that bivol and beter got 2.7 mil for their undisputed fights lol

so shakur is getting twice what those guys got lol and the bivol beter fights were is saudi too

hilarious

I can see Turkey doing that but they have unlimited money to blow overpaying fighters its not about profit for them. These other promoters they're used car salesmen, obsolete relics when really the fighters should just directly deal with the venues and networks.

Exactly. Haney wanted to be with TMT but Floyd didn't want him. Haney himself credits Hearn for being the only guy who took interest in signing him.
No offers were coming from PBC in Ennis case, so Hearn became the only choice for the father and son team.

Did Bozy or Boots ever speak about this?

Shakur is sort of taking your advice by hiring a second-tier promoter in Dibella, which is supposedly allowing him to save more of his money.
I'd be interested in seeing what happens to Boxing if we removed promotional companies from the equation. My gut assumption is that the grass wouldn't necessarily be greener for the vast majority of boxers.
