How much pop do you think Shakur will have in the pro ranks based on what you've seen of him as an amateur? Is he more likely to be 15-0 (13) or 15-0 (7) in a couple years assuming standard TR matchmaking?

I think that Shakur packs serious power, he's explosive and really strong for his size, i usually saw his opponents breathing from the mouth in the last round, they definitely felt him.
But i think that for example in 15 fights he would probably look like 15-0 (10 kos) with knockdowns in almost each fight but lacking the finishing skills or just admiring his own work and letting the fight go to the scorecards.

Anyone know the price for this PPV event?

ppv is what killed boxing in america dude... If this ppv does good then we will get more ******ed ppv rip off like this... Pbc and al haymon are trying to kill the pbc and they are succeeding

I disagree with you on these topics. I believe PPV Boxing , Boxing on regular cable and Boxing on the premium channels can all co-exist together thus making boxing bigger and better, that is when boxing is really successful.

We should welcome and encourage unity between all promotional companies for the good of Boxing.

Just imagine if PPV was wiped out , then Al Haymon's plan does not work out , boxing could be doomed.

I for one support all promotional companies all though I don't agree with everything they do.

PBC DOESNT PROMOTE PPV'S! THEY ARE NOT ******ED OR INTERESTED IN RAPING MEXICAN FANS LIKE GOLDEN GIRL AND TOP PRANK DO EVERY YEAR.... BE THANKFUL...

Besides thurman/garcia & leo santa cruz fights pbc dones not have the talent to put a ppv together! Haymon is greedy had this option been available he would've cashed in already... its an economic cycle! Promoters explote the biggest market for boxing which are latinos... just like people down south explote the gringo market by selling all that dope... god bless america Liena .7.1.4 accomodating amerikkkas appetite one american at the time! Thank you folks you made alot of people very rich! Follar rich that is... no sea pendejo

Thanks for answering & giving me some insight on Shakur's possible future outlook. I'm always interested in how these long time &/or high level successful amateurs transition into the pros & how much power they bring with them in the KO biased world of professional boxing.

It seems like the getting rid of the headgear + going back to a more pro-like scoring system will result in less difference between amateur boxing & pro boxing again like in the old days (pre-84 iirc) & less problems transitioning into a good to elite level pro.

$45.

If PPV died tomorrow & PBC died the day after that then something else would just pop up the day or week or month after that day. Boxing will be around for the foreseeable future.

And I'd even speculate that 100 years from now people will be going into some virtual reality/augmented reality or something beyond those realities & fighting without injury to their physical bodies. Fighting is going to be around as long as humans are around. If its on PPV, premium cable, regular cable, streaming networks or free TV is of small concern.

Valdez is the real deal.

I agree I just rather have lots of boxing rather then little to none.

There's not going to be little to no boxing if PBC & HBO do go out of business. Boxing is bigger than PBC & HBO.

I'm buying this PPV and so should everybody else, let's get behind these young champions, they along with other young champions are the future of boxing!

LETS GOOOOO!

#HYPED-UP

Side Note- Top Rank did a horrible job promoting this PPV CARD, NO PROMOTION AT ALL. That was pathetic Bob Arum & Top Rank Promotions.

I bought the ggg lemule fight and even the mosley mayorga 2 fights
