Shakur Stevenson: From the “best” to “bag”? Fighter’s Zepeda pulls out sparks of greed

Published

Oscar de la Hoya promoter revealed today that Shakur Stevenson “He withdrew from William Zepeda’s fight.“Shakur published the reason for pulling out on X, saying that Turki promised him the financial amount of Zepeda’s fight, but now” returns to it. “

Extending

Shakur did not mention how much Turk’s money he planned to offer him the fight of Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO), but it looks like he had changed his mind. Stevenson decides not to move on with the fights on which he focused more “Bag” than in his heritage or increasing his popularity. What happened to Shakur who wants to show that he is the best? Now he focuses on money, sounding similar to Edgar Berlang.

It would be captivating to know how much Turks offered Stevenson in the past to fight Zapeda. If there is the same amount he got to his last fight with a part -time boxer Josh Padley on February 22, then it should be enough to go with the match. Apparently Shakur was well paid for defense against Padley on the Dazn PPV card in Riyadh.

PPV risk

If Stevenson expected him to get $ 10 million for the title defense against Zepeda, he cheats. It is not an attraction of PPV and it will probably never be. Zepeda could not fail to introduce purchases, because in the last two fights he devoted himself to petite performances against Tevin Farmer.

The Mexican inactive Zepeda probably lost fans of these two fights. That Turki would try to sell the Shakur vs. fight. Zepeda as the main headliner in Dazn PPV would be a financial disaster. Even with a loaded card, the event bombed this event if Shakur is in the headliner.

Stevenson has not increased its popularity from the time of switching to a lightweight division in 2023. This is the main problem. In his first match at the age of 135 he fought with some vague Japanese warrior, and then he had a terrible performance against Edwin de Los Santos, in which he was thrown out of the T-Mobile arena by fans for escaping from him for 12 rounds. Stevenson followed this equally monotonous fight with Art Harutyunyan in his last fight against the highest rank.

Instead of fighting a perilous blow, Jadier Herrera, on the card on February 22, Shakur chose the slightly striking electrician Josh Padley. It is quite obvious that in the way Stevenson is matched, it is kept away from tough opposition to make sure that he will not look bad again.

When you take all this, why would Turks want to pay Shakur, what was he hoping to fight with Zepeda? If so, Turks should wash Shakur’s hands and treat him as if he were concealed. He must focus on thrilling fighters of his cards. Stevenson does not meet these criteria.

Broken promise
