Shakur Stevenson: From ‘Best’ to ‘Bag’? Fighter’s Zeped draw distorting charges of greed

Promotor Oscar de la Hoya today revealed that Shakur Stevenson has “He pulled himself out of William Zeped.“Shakur posted a reason for pulling out on X, saying that the Turks promised him a financial amount to fight for Zeped, but now” goes back to it. “

Extraction

Shakur did not mention how much money the Turks planned to offer him to fight Zeped (33-0, 27 ko), but he seems to have changed his mind. Stevenson decided not to go forward with the fight shows that he focused more on ‘Bag’ but to his legacy or increase his popularity. What happened to Shakur who wanted to show that he was the best? Now it focuses on money, it sounds a lot like Edgar Berlang.

It would be interesting to know how many Turks offer Stevenson in the past to fight Zeped. If this is the same amount for the last fight against the fees, Josh Padley on February 2nd, it should be enough to go with the match. Shakur is reportedly well paid to defend himself from Padley on DAZN PPV Card in Riyadh.

PPV risk

If Stevenson expected to get $ 10 million to defend the title against Zepeda, he was fooled. He is not an attraction of the PPV -Ai will probably never be. Zepeda couldn’t help shopping, because in the last two struggles he turned appearances for a return-leaner against Tev’s farmer.

Mexican Slugger Zeped probably lost fans from the two fights. To make Turks try to sell Shakur vs. Zeped as a headliner now DAZN PPV She would be a financial catastrophe. Even with a filled backing, this event would bombarded if Shakur is in a headliner.

Stevenson failed to increase his popularity from moving to a slight division of 2023. That’s the main problem. In his first match in his first match, he fought with some obscure Japanese fighter, and then had that terrible performance against Edwin de Los Santos, in which fans threw him out of the T-Mobile Arena for running from him in 12 rounds. Stevenson followed this with an equally boring fight against Artem Harutyunyan in his last fight with Top Rank.

Instead of fighting a dangerous blow, Jadiera Herrera, on the 1920 card, Shakur chose an electrician who hit in the light of Josh Padley. It is pretty obvious that with the way Stevenson matches, it sticks away from a hard -affected opposition to ensure that it no longer looks bad.

When you consider it all, why would the Turks want to pay Shakur what he hoped to fight Zepeda? If nothing else, the Turks should wash Shakura’s hands and treat it as if it were invisible. He has to focus on exciting fighters for his cards. Stevenson does not fill these criteria.

The promise is broken

😂😂😂😂 Is that what they told you ?? The Turks promised me the number, and now he returned to that number that promised me and sent a towel boys to start my information instead of telling me directly what he was trying to do. The ion worships anyone that Mr. de la Hoya is now negotiating! https://t.co/s33oy0cefy
