Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson still wants William Zepeda ? but won't 'bow down'

[MulaKO]

yeah but is it the lower end or is a good offer without figures we have no idea really all it looks like we know is that its lower than it once was

He refused a 3 million per fight X5
That should be a gage for what he’s demanding

This is a very risky fight for Shakur. He could run but he can't hide. Inevitably, he is going have to bite down, dig deep and fight this dude. It's his only chance of winning in my judgement.

If not, then Zepeda would likely out punch him by a ratio of at least 2-1. A fighter cannot expect to win a fight by not throwing enough punches. If the fight is close.

Then the judges will almost always go with the busier fighter throwing the most punches.

I just read that Shakur got 10
million to fight Padley , his late replacement
Did he really think he would be getting that fight after fight ???
We all know why he was getting that money and it wasn’t for Padley
Turki has probably got an unimaginable amount of money but how do you think he got that kind of money ???
I'm sure it wasn’t by overpaying
Just sayin’

What's the source?

What's the source?

I googled it and maybe ten articles came up
I should of taken it down but I just kept clicking
Remember though this pay was for Zepeda and already negotiated before his hand injury

I searched and searched and couldn't find anything stating that Shakur was gonna get paid $10 million to fight Zepeda. I doubt it was anything near that amount, but whatever Turki was offering him, is now a thing of the past.

I personally think the purse bid will not be higher than $3.5 million.. Guess we shall find out soon....

I tried searching last night but couldn’t find it either
Im thinking maybe that was combined for him and Zepeda
Anyway can’t see the purse bid being much more than what your stating
And sorry but Sulaiman in my eyes is not a reliable source

I might be mistaken but I don't think Sulaiman has commented on what Turki offered Shakur to fight Zepeda. Eddie is in a peculiar situation because if he doesn't negotiate an amount that Shakur finds acceptable, Shakur will no longer want to re-sign with Matchroom.
