From Frank Bay: Shakur Twitterson is boring, inside and out of the ring. Let me start saying that the relationship of professional sports and fans are reciprocal. Sometimes, athletes and owners / promoters forget this aspect. I don’t mind paying the event.
If this is the NFL season of passage or main boxing PPV, I will open my wallet, even against my better judgment. Yes, I’m easily successful, but I’m not a fool. I will watch Canelo Alvarez Fight on Cinco De Maio, but I don’t pay for it. No, I won’t steal him. I will most likely watch him with friends and family because it is a traditional weekend boxing at a party.
When it comes to sports, I have my limits for what I will be Bilked. When I get the NFL season or move on to a baseball game, I get what I pay. The price does not matter, I still refuse to be regularly paid for a bad product. When teams are poor, owners do not reduce prices to reflect fan investment.
No, instead, they raise the price for parking. Therefore, NFL and MLB teams, at least for optics, emphasize. When the team wins, the fans are ready to take another mortgage for seasonal maps. The fans are sucked and counted me in that group. But when it comes to boxing and used Shakur Stevenson as an example, it becomes painfully clear that the powers see only one-way relationship.
Boxing expects you to pay without giving you what you want. They give you the opposite (ie Josh Padley against Stevenson) and you expect you to pay even more for the next event. This creates an invaluator. Fighters expect the same.
Turkish Alalshikh aka John
Turki Alalshikh learns on the hard track on boxing. At my podcast last year I predicted that Turks will see that casting cash around seems to be enough in a strip club to control the boxing game.
Shades and Quirks deeply in boxes cannot be controlled or eradicated by a man with money that wants to rule in an iron fist. Boxers are more similar to actors than athletes, because, such as actors, boxers can choose and choose their roles, ie. Their destinies. The opposite of beliefs, the boxers do not choose the fight solely on the basis of money.
In the age of social media, post-money mayweather ery, fighters are much more susceptible to perceptions. Just look what happened to the former Maweather-failed clone Devin Haney. See the only fighter so far not to kiss the ring of its Excellency, former impermeable tank Davis after one procedure. As they say, perception is a reality.
Shakur, who called Twitterson, is faced with the crossroads, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Shakur Stevenson to sit for the fact of the future. Before Stevenson left the top act, he was reported to be upset that the upper rank refused to feed him Lomachenko or Navarrete. Top rank stood to work.
After leaving, Stevenson is conveniently omitted to serve him the most of Loma and or Navarrete, whether he signed it with them. The usual sense would say Twitterson that the top rank needed to be able to replace the star like Loms with Shakura, because it is very likely to beat old veteran.
I’m not sure how much misleading Stevenson believes that he will be signed to be signed to give him a break and Lomachenk’s belt, just to see him leaving them as if they were 7 months old.
Upper rank and good release
Fast forward and Shakur signed with Harn, who works closely with Turkey. Listen signed Shakur with agreements in place. Listen to Turkish to meet Shakur and headed hands. Shakur was said what was expected than him. Shakur claimed to want big fights.
He was now in a position with people who could happen, or so we thought. As for the cautiousness of what you want, Shakur Stevenson got his combat orders and now the Avoll disappeared. When fighters discuss how the business of making a fight going, the promoter offers a list of possible opponents.
Then the combat and his team were made to choose from the given option. Each fight involves the risk against the prize option. The fighter must choose or is forced to sit. If the fighter refuses a struggle that is in contractual obligations, then the promoter can sit a fighter.
The contract acts in both ways. The promoter must fulfill the obligation, for example, giving its battle 3 struggles in a particular time frame. When there is a problem, the fighter has about two possibilities. The options we have seen Mikey Garcia and Andre Word notes are used to mind.
One fights to legally come out, which can cost more money than it is worth or sitting or waiting until the contract expires. Teophimo recently tried to get out of the contract with Harvard, and former Barbie Arum.
The claim was that theo does not owe a superior rank of the last fight. Top Sentrisant, claiming that theo decided to reject the date of struggle, and therefore they were right to bastard. In the end, they solved their questions, which is one way to function. If the Turkish did not save Theofimo, he would still sit aside.
Will Stevenson suffer the same fate? I’m ready to bet you wouldn’t mind being taken off Saturday, especially if VBC would allow him to pull Jermall Charl and let him not fight without fighting. Remember, Shakur Stevenson was already thrown by Hissi fit and retired his dissatisfaction with the superior rank.
Turks never imagined the leopard would eat his face. Not a year at Gison and Tyson Fury goes away from him without fighting Anthony Joshua, Jaron Ennis rejects a significant fight, and now Stevenson tells him thanks, not thank him. Worse than that, after being well paid to sign up with Harn and gets a lot of money, not less, turns hands and bite him and bite him and bite him and biting him and bite him. Very shortwave action if you ask me.
Cheat me once, shame on you
I consider myself a bookmaker, and I’m ready to bet that the script played something similar: Turki told Shakura to pay him fairly. Shakur then had to start twisting a narrative leaving an important context. He claims Turkish returned to the word.
Shakur accused Turkey to promise him a certain amount of money to fight William Zeped. However, when he was offered, it was much less than what was first promised, and therefore he knocked him down. That sounds reasonable and most likely happens constantly in boxing. I mean, it’s called negotiations for a reason.
But let me tell you something, the word wise: when it comes to negotiations, especially the negotiations in boxing, when the virus went, ie. Someone is negotiating in public, on Twitter, not less, not less. It won’t happen.
Sav Shakur is trying to do with social media negotiations is to be first so that he can turn and turn social narrative to her advice. His only hope is that he will get enough foolish fan support to heal the fragile ego. A small social support currently received from its sifofants is enough to feed their narcissism. We saw that for what it was: a massive duck
I guess Turki but told Shakura, “Look, Shakur, I know that money I offer for Zepeda, but that’s because I really rewarded you in late replacing and massively overpaying you for Padley.
The numbers will show that I am more than generous in the new offer. “As you can see, Turki looked at numbers and saw what someone could see about Twinthrensia, not to be worth it. His attitude and reaction to Turkin’s generosity just further prove it.
Turkish, like me, a fool, but he’s not anyone’s ass. From Turki’s point of view, he fulfills his promises and obligations with Shakura. He overpaid him for Padley against better judgment, but it made it happy, make him a favor and keep it active.
Turks, thinking that they will get the same reasonable reciprocal decision, remains as if the lateral piece is that Shakur can throw. Shakur looks intention to fire another bridge as if there were hundreds in boxing.
What Turks offer is quite the same amount of money for two fights. He realizes that he overpaid the fighting Padley, so he wants to diminish a blow at the back end. Is that less than fair? I’m not discussing, in reality, when as fans, we realized that Turkish did him a favor, paying him more than in the first place.
Fans leave a purse
The fans wanted Zepeda vs Shakur to fight for more than a year. As I spoke before the box we give us what we want, we were just witnesses to go to smoke. Zepeda suddenly accused of being a duck, but I think it’s safe to assume no more guilty.
In the little comedy, I see that his Sikofants try to find a narative mental gymnastics and find a way to accuse Zeped and de la Hoja to be real ducks. One narrative spin is to be a reward fight and is about ‘bags’. Therefore, Shakur is not a duck and is a smart businessman.
But where I see hypocrisy of mind the mind is that they are also the same fans who deal Canelo Alvares and any other fighter that does the same. Alvarez is a superior public enemy that would wise wisely and took $ 100 million for William Scull.
However, you will hear tons of praise for Shakur who do the same thing without the same approaching or massive fan base to come back. When Floyd Mayweather reached his phase “bags”, but had a recognition and a built-in fan base.
This in my opinion, there was short-sighted, self-cultivation. Canelo can drive someone to want because someone is ready to pay him to do it. Shakur does not have another Turkey similar to the figure in his back pocket that will save and pay to fight another sawmill.
Shakur is angular because I see no one willing to pay for him more money. It will not pay again for soft touches touches, and he will not get big names and money that seeks because everyone seees there is no possibility.
Shakur and his team sucked Turkia and Duped Hearn, who must be between rock and heavy place, scratching her head on what to do next with him. But while the Turkish can wash hands with important, hard is stuck with this albatross.
In the end, these are fans that remain holding the bag. We allowed Shakura to arrive so far without answering it. Many fans were getting married with his narrative that they all bent him.
People accepted the fighting Padley, because Schollield had not been guilty, and we had become Zepeda next. But it seems like the last straw before even his constant fans no longer pay his fights.
