The organizer of the delicate weight WBC Shakur Stevenson, Eddie Hearn, says that he is negotiating with the Golden Boy Promotions to start fighting with the transient champion William Zepeda for the summer. Hearn is an optimist that he can reach a contract, saying: “Everyone wants to fight.”
Look “tank”
Hearn says that the plan is for Stevenson to receive Zepeda’s clash: “Then dealing with the tank.” This is the fight that Hearn watched since Shakur signed to his match company in August 2024. Indeed, some believe that this is the only reason why Hearn signed him: the money that the fight of Gervont Davis would bring. That would be a payment.
Eddie did not say that his plans for Stevenson if he did not get a tank fight. Hearn will probably try to encourage Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney to fight him, which will be almost impossible.
There are rumors that Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) is valued for the money, which he thinks he will get from Saudis for Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO), there is no more. It is believed that he thought it would be a payment day, but it is not.
Zepeda will not be Accept the Lowball offer For this fight, because he doesn’t need Shakiur to get well -paid fights. He is a mandatory warrior who loves networks. In order for Shakur to get a cake, which, he thought, get from the Saudis, he will have to give Zepeda a low ball offer.
Stevenson complained in social media, saying that he now offers him less than what he got for defense against Josh Padley. Zepeda is a risky fight for Shakur, so he has a lot to lose if he is beaten and ends only with a miniature sum.
“Everyone wants it”
“So WBC ordered negotiations that Shakur could fight [interim lightweight champion William] Zepeda. We talked with Eric Gomez, Oscar de la Hoya and the Golden Boy band. Everyone wants to fight – said the promoter Eddie Hearn Boxing DAZN About the fight between the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson champion and transient champion William Zeped.
“This is the perfect fight for everyone. We’ll see if we can achieve a contract with Dazn and make a great fight in the summer schedule. This is a huge fight between two fantastic warriors. We believe that Shakur Stevenson is the best lightweight weight in the world, and I think that fighting with someone like Zepeda can show these … fight this fight, and then he said.” Hearn.
Floyd Schofield Jr. He says that he has never received any money offer to fight the slight pretender Abdullah Mason on the card on June 7 at ESPN. Schofield states that Mason’s team only asked him if he wanted to fight him and he said yes. There was no attempt to start negotiations.
Promotional chess?
Floyd sr. He believes that there has never been any real interest in the band Abdullah Mason in the fight against Schofield Jr. In other words, it’s just a theater. Mason was going to fight someone unsafe, such as Schofield.
It was more about promoting Mason, associating his name with Schofield’s and giving the impression that he tried to challenge him. It works well and attracts Mason’s attention from fans and media that he would not usually get because he is not promoted.
Schofield Jr. (18-0, 12 KO) says he thinks it is strange that Mason’s management sent an offer, and then went and fought someone else. The opponent is 35-year-old Jeremiah Nakathila, whose Mason will fight on the Keyshawn Davis vs. Edwin de los Santos on June 7 at the Scope arena, Norfolk, Virginia.
“We did not receive a contract with the offer. So we can ask for everything we want – said Floyd Schofield Sr. Millcity boxing About the fact that they have never received a contract offer to fight Abdullah Mason on June 7.
“This is not a form of evasion, asking what you want to get to the ring. Rating price? We didn’t receive an offer [from Mason’s promoter]. If we say, “Give us $ 2 million and we will take a fight”, people will say: “You shouldn’t get $ 2 million.” Why? The promoter did not say. We have not received any opinions yet. “
When there is never attempt to negotiate, it is a red flag that there was no real interest in the Mason promotional team in the operate of Schofield as an opponent. If they wanted Floyd Jr, they could get him. It would be too substantial a step in the class for Mason from smaller guys he fought with. He already shows problems with the chin. Placing it with a powerful blow, such as Schofield, would be a bad idea.
No offer, just ask
“This is not steep. We didn’t get anything for excessive price. We didn’t even receive an official offer. We just got the question. If they think it’s screams, they are screaming. We’ve never repealed and we’ll never do it” – said Schofield SR.
Who knows why the highest ranks didn’t try to negotiate with Schofield? Did they just operate his name so that Nakathlia would lower its price in negotiations? You never know. The fight against Schofield would assist in Mason’s career much more than the fight against Nakithilia, which was knocked out twice in 2023.
“I think it’s strange that they sent us an offer and then fight with someone else, but it is them,” said Floyd Jr., who thinks it is strange that there was no money offer from Mason promoters to fight. There was no attempt to negotiate. “It really wasn’t [any offer or attempt to negotiate from Mason’s side]. It was just a word. They just said if we would like to fight him. That’s all.
“I said,” fight. ” I get Spark Mason and fight Shakur Next or Keyshawn.
“As I told my father.” We don’t need 2.5. Take a million. Take 1.1. Whatever they offer. It doesn’t matter. ” Let me do what I do to him and then we go further, “said Floyd Jr.
