Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn seeking to extend Matchroom's deal with Shakur Stevenson

[factsarenice]

If Shakur is smart he gets away from Hearn and dazn. That’s not doing anything for his career. How any American signs with hearings really beyond me. Hearn talks down to American fighters and only acknowledges the ethnicities of Latino fighters in the USA. Hearn doesn’t see the value of Juneteenth fights or putting on big fights in places like Houston, Atlanta, etc etc. Shakur would be best under the PBC umbrella. But I’m not sure Shakur understands all that

The PBC has 150+ fighters and showcases 8-10 fights a year and pays out a percentage of the tickets/PPV sales. Everyone knows that Shakur isn't a draw and Tank and the PBC are happy fighting nobody special for millions. I'm sorry but when you defaulted to race, Juneteenth and some magic umbrella I don't know WTF you're talking about...

The business of boxing is dirty and you may not like Hearn, Arum or Oscar.... but don't be a PBC stooge...It's embarrassing!

How so? How is he talking down on American fighters and only acknowledging Latino fighters? His biggest American signings are Boots and Shakur and he's constantly raving about them. Please give some examples to back up your claims...

Most Pbc fighters fight once per year against tune up level opponents for peanuts

Shakur better stay where he's at and continue getting big guaranteed purses.

If Shakur is getting payed for the entertainment he delivers, he shouldn't get payed that much. Pacman at 46 is more entertaining.

I wish you were wrong but.....you're not.

talking them up by saying Boots is scared to fight Twofimo the klansman? No sir, that doesn’t pass the smell test. Wilder, Tank, sir….i could stretch this list out. Hearn has never respected American boxers or the FBA portion of American fans. He has what we UK boomers call the “empire” mentality

PBC is done

Write that on a note, put it in an envelope, leave it by your bed, perhaps it will float up the chimney and makes its way to the North Pole for a Father Christmas list…

When did Hearn ever claim that Boots(his fighter) is/was scared to fight Teo? If Hearn never stated that Boots was afraid to fight Virgil after he declined the money that Turki offered, why would he claim that Boots a much bigger man than Teo is afraid to fight him. Please post links and no, them fake YouTube sites aren't credible sources.

Ok. Thanks.

Your shilling for the PBC should come with a warning: Side effects may include dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, mild confusion, unusually vivid dreams, temporary deja vu, increased appetite for pickles, spontaneous nostalgia, and a sudden urge to reorganize your sock drawer by emotional attachment.
