Shakur I think, feels a prideful need to beat that Top Rank final contract offer. But that's a high minimum for either Golden Boy or Matchroom to even match. Forget about beat. One, Shakur has no real leverage or massive public demand. And two, it would blow up each promoters pay structure. Potentially causing hard feelings with some of their Top Fighters already under contract. Especially at Golden Boy. Shakur calling out Zepeda (his Mando), and not the other way around. Is a tell tale sign how vulnerable Shakur truly feels.

He passed on TR and now GB is done. Let's see if Matchroom or PBC can can get it done. Im not expecting them to. Shakur is delusional. If I'm zepeda/GBP I'm pursuing the WBO Mando.

It’s the compensation he thinks he’s worth to the Promoters. But there’s no real “PPV Star” upside with Shakur. Can you imagine your dread, throwing a PPV Fight Party for a fight involving Shakur? Nah, Berinchyk vs Zepeda will easily be more entertaining. Regardless of “Pinky in the Air” accolades that Shakur consistently receives.

I love combat sports. I watch boxing and mma. My buddy is a mma fan and casual boxing fan. He'll watch big fights or fights I recommend. I'd recommend zepeda vs Berinchyk. I'd never recommend Shakur to him.
