The Oscar de la Hoja promoter discovered today to have Shakur Stevenson “Drawn from Villiam Zepeda.“Shakur announced the reason for the withdrawal in X, he said that Turki has promised him a financial amount to fight the Zepeda, but now” returns to it “.
Extraction
Shakur did not mention how much the Turki had planned to offer him for Zeped (before: 33-0, 27 Kos), but it seems to change his mind. Stevenson is a choice not to go ahead with fight shows that more focused ‘Bag’ than on his heritage or increasing his popularity. What happened to Shakura wanting to show it’s the best? Now it focuses on the money, sounds a lot like Edgar Berlang.
It would be interesting to know how many Turks offered Stevenson in the past to fight the zeped. If that’s the same amount that he got for his last fight against Scroles Boker Josh Padley 22. February, it should be enough to pass with the match. Shakur allegedly paid to defend against Padley’s Dazn ppv Riyadh card.
Ppv risk
If Stevenson expected to get $ 10 million to defend her titles against Zeped, he was fooling. He is not a PPV attraction and will probably never be. Zepeda could not go shopping, because in his last two fights turned into action to perform back to return back.
The Mexican Zepeda’s maid probably lost fans from that two struggles. For Turks to try and sell Shakur vs. Zepeda is now struggling like headliner Dazn ppv would be a financial disaster. Even with a loaded upgrade, that event would bomb if Shakur was in Headliner.
Stevenson failed to increase his popularity because it moves to a light division of 2023. years. That is the main problem. He fought some vague Japanese borcen in his first match at 135, then had that terrible idea against Edvin de Los Santos, in which he was translated from T-Mobile Arena by a run-round fan during 12 rounds. Stevenson followed this with an equally boring fight against Artem Harutinian in his last fight with superior rank.
Instead of fighting dangerous Poucher, Jadier Herrer, at 22. February, Shakur chose electric electric energy Josh Padley. It is quite obvious that Stevenson matches, keeping further from hard opposition to ensure that it doesn’t look bad anymore.
When in all this in all this, why would Turki want to pay Shakur what he hoped to come to fight the Zepeda? If nothing else, the Turkish should wash the arms of Shakurt and treat him as if invisible. He should focus on exciting fighters for his cards. Stevenson does not satisfy that criteria.
The promise is broken
😂😂😂😂 Is that what they told you ?? Turks promised me a number and now returns to that number that promised me and send my towels to send me measure, instead of telling me straight, which he tries to slaughter or worship anyone De La Hoya now to negotiate! https://t.co/s33oi0cefi
