Top Rank about to do Stevenson like they did Crawford

The black & Mexican fanbase is the biggest fanbase combined. That's why Ruiz vs Wilder is a bigger fight than any other heavyweight fight.In general there isn't a large black fanbase to support black fighters. There's not a lot of profit in it for promoters.
The rabid Mexican fanbase on the other hand has pretty much kept boxing alive in the US.
That's why even Floyd fought on the May 5 and September 16 weekends...both Mexican holidays.Comment

Here we go again....Valdez was allowed to duck Stevenson so Top Rank can set up their Mexican vs. Mexican card. Valdez will get killed by Berchelt. Shakur would've beat him easily. That should've been Stevenson's break out fight but instead they let Valdez duck him because Bob has more faith in building a Mexican fighter than he does a black fighter.
Bob will never allow Stevenson to fight Lomachenko. Just like he never allowed Crawford to fight Pacquiao. Top Rank doesn't build black stars with fights against their non-black A side fighters. It never happens.
Why sign these guys if you don't believe they can be stars and you not willing to invest in them to become stars? That **** is frustrating to me.

Berchelt vs Valdez will sell better than any fight involving Shakur Stevenson. And the winner will go on to sell better than any fight involving Shakur Stevenson.
It is just smarter business for Arum to do Mexican vs Mexican.
Those simple truths aren't going to change no matter which promoter Stevenson signs with.Comment

I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this was the case. Rinse and repeatValdez was allowed to duck Stevenson so Top Rank can set up their Mexican vs. Mexican card. Valdez will get killed by Berchelt. Shakur would've beat him easily. That should've been Stevenson's break out fight but instead they let Valdez duck him because Bob has more faith in building a Mexican fighter than he does a black fighter.
