Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson nearing promotional agreement with Lou DiBella

[MalevolentBite]

Who in their right mind would want to be with Dibella? He's not player anymore, and for a reason.. Talk about going in reverse, then again Dubin isn't exactly F. Lee Bailey....

Dibella does business with PBC and Top Rank. After this Shakur has no where else to go if he burns this bridge.

I think we are starting to see Turki's true colors coming out finally. For a while he was seen by many people as a saviour of boxing, a guy who was playing with state's money and willing to overpay to get the dream matchups that boxers themselves avoided for years. Now we are starting to see a billionaire who is asserting his authority and treating his "business partners" as disposable pawns (don't want to save s l a v e s as some people might get triggered) that may or may not fit into his long term game.

Eddie Hearn was one of the favorite sons and right now he does not know where he fits in the big picture. He might be out or almost out. Shakur did not want to bow down to no man and now he's got his knee pads out to apologize in style for a "misunderstanding" because he publicly bit the hand that feeds him. Shakur is skating on thin ice. He left Bob Arum because he was not paying him enough even though he had a $3M per fight guarantee, which quite frankly is way too much for the entertainment value he provides. He flirted with Eddie briefly only to now be leaving him seeking greener pastures and bigger checks because he can now see that Eddie (without Turki) will not be able to deliver the sort of paydays that Shakur craves. We might be up for another Shakur retirement (tantrum) coming soon the way he is going.

So the fight with Zepeda wasn't finalized and wasn't confirmed to be a part of the card with Berlanga??? Jeez.....

From what I know , it was a done deal

That's what I thought too, but with Turki's cards, there always seems to be a glitch or some kind of "spoke too soon" factor..

Well it’s being announced on the main card which came out a few days ago
Now making Berlanga the main attraction

Shakira is an entitled pos.

This is my problem with him too, considering he has next to no notable wins and stinks out the place on a regular basis I can't figure out why this paper champion is so highly regarded.

One doesn't get what one deserves, one gets what one negotiates.
