Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson: Mayweather Was All Talk, Never Really An Option!

[jonnyc420]

J Prince sent a goon squad after Mayweather to the top Rank gym when Mayweather tried to fire him as manager. Mayweather was lucky he wasnt there at the time, Ellerbe got sent to the hospital. Mayweather had to pay him 600K to go away or he would send killers after his family.

Shakur is an idiot for signing with Prince

Yes guy I know the story, as does any boxing fan. Except it was Arum who had coughed up the money to make him go away and save Floyd.

Floyd is right to not wanna grant guys massive paydays right out the gate. Make them earn their keep by putting in the time and work like he did. Instead, they wanna sign with Bob Arum (L...O...L), who will just go on to steal from them and keep too much cash for himself.

Jealous? Really?? No really??? The man got robbed at the olympics, became TBE and the highest paid athlete of all time with some fly women he's been with I might add and he is jealous???? Lmmfao! Maybe the kid should be a little patient. After all Floyd is trying to get a mcgregor fight for some big bucks....plus top rank is not a supportive company.......

It was joke a dude.

Floyd never working with j Prince again, not shocked

[HanzGruber]

yea 2 things dont surprise me about floyd not going hard after him... 1 being j prince lol.. and 2 i could see it possible that he backed off after he found the numbers shakur wanted, since floyd has been vocal about guys being paid before accomplishing anything

[HanzGruber]

Devin haney never signed with mayweather either, he isnt content with just being a groupie who hang around the gym all day doing nothing but interviews with dontate nation who floyd pays off with a new car and tmt gear like the rest of floyds stable, shakur has ambition and that is good, now all he needs is killer instinct.

once again wtf are you talking about

[TexasCowBoy]

Arum sure does have an eye for talent

[Boxing Logic]

Once Shakur signed with J-Prince, there was no chance Mayweather would try to sign him to Mayweather promotions. People who know the history of this sport shouldn't be surprised by this at all. J-Prince is an interesting dude and was at the heart of Ward's contractual issues w/ Goosen and Floyd's issues with Top Rank in the past (see post fight scene in the Corrales fight).

can you give the lowdown on the floyd and ward situations respectively with jprince? im interested in the story.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

So automatically I hate Floyd? I am a big fan of Floyd the boxer. Simply pointing out his flawed approach as a promoter and how Stevenson signing with Top Rank makes people like you upset for some weird ass reason.

Upset? Lmao I barely even know this dude. I think that's the point no one cares who he signed too no one cared when haney didn't sign either. Bunch of delusional on here today going off assumptions. He signed to top rank cong**** he's the GOAT now. Y'all want us to be groupies like you are for a kid who's barely known and ain't won one fight.

[richardt]

Well, I guess Arum is better than a couple other smaller promoters.
