Why is the mens American silver medalist making his debut on a PPV no one is buying?

Yes Ward and James Prince are co-managing Stevenson.

And to be clear, the PPV is the Pacquiao fight, the tv undercard will be at a different location, with Valdez "headlining" that card as the PPV cofeature

Where are you getting this information?

Edit: this triple header "could be" the tv undercard of Pacquiao-Khan PPV, but will happen regardless of that fight being finalized

That article is a couple days old. Yesterday Koncz came out, after meeting with Arum, and said the Khan-Pacquiao fight has been moved to May 19th.

Shakur Stevenson is making his debut on that Oscar Valdez vs. Miguel Marriaga Top Rank PPV.

Stevenson, who hails from Newark, N.J., stunned the boxing world as he signed a deal with Top Rank, after reportedly being courted by Floyd Mayweather and Roc Nation to sign a promotional deal. He will appear in a six round bout in his pro debut. - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/oscar-val....AfoNo3cC.dpuf

Oh... For some reason I thought you were talking about Valdez. He hasn't even won a medal has he?

Anyway, yea, you have a point. Why is he even on that ****ty PPV? Arum is washed up. He is showcasing Loma in Maryland next which makes no sense to me and now putting Stevenson in that PPV (which I didnt even know about). Time for Bobby to hang them up.

Bob Arum said because he wants Stevenson to gain new fans (Mexicans)

Can't find the article, I just read it today though.

Well put him on that Unimas card with Conlan. More Mexicans will watch that card than this one.

LOL, there are ways around PPV. Back in The Day of analog cable, I had the "box". Now, we have Streaming websites on the computer. When there's a will, there's a way LOL. I would imagine that at least 50% of PP Viewers, don't, well, Pay. Is this going to get me in jail LOL?

And it's in Arizona, he's from New Jersey.

The fight card is at Stubhub, not Arizona.

Given the weight divisions Stevenson will be fighting in, this won't be his last fight in the So Cal market, or his last on a Valdez/Ramirez fight card.

Even further away from New Jersey. Black fighters aren't successful in SoCal. Bradley is from SoCal and he can't even sell tickets. He needs to be on the east coast. Crawford doesn't fight in SoCal for that exact same reason. When Bob isn't fighting him in Omaha he fights him on the East Coast. It's stupid to have his debut on a in SoCal on a PPV card nobody is going to watch. Crawford's next fight is in New Jersey, and on HBO. He should be on that card

That Crawford fight is a month after this card....what makes you think Stevenson won't be on that fight card?
