Well now, let me tell ya, Shakur Stevenson is somethin’ else. The boy’s been makin’ waves in boxing, and it ain’t no wonder why. With a record that’s cleaner than a freshly washed dish rag—he’s won every single fight he’s been in, all 19 of ’em. Ain’t no easy feat, I can tell ya that. Now, he’s movin’ up to 135 pounds, hopin’ to make even bigger noise in the world of boxing. The next big fight for him, from what I hear, is in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey. They got him fightin’ at the Prudential Center, which is a big ol’ deal. He’s supposed to make a million dollars for showin’ up, and if the pay-per-view buys are good, he’s lookin’ at takin’ home a nice chunk of change, around 70% of the PPV revenue. That’s a lot of zeros! Ain’t no surprise, the boy’s been puttin’ on a show for the fans.
Now, there’s a lot of talk about how big this boy’s gonna get. I’m tellin’ ya, some folks think he’s gonna break all kinds of records when it comes to PPV buys. You know, a lotta people are sayin’ Shakur and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis could be the next big fight for pay-per-view, like a big ol’ showdown that’ll bring in the money. Some of them fancy analysts think it’ll break records, like crazy numbers. You know, they’re hopin’ the fight will bring in more buys than anythin’ we’ve seen before, just ‘cause of how much people wanna see ‘em go at it. Now, that’s talkin’ big, but if it happens, I reckon it’ll be a real spectacle.
And let me tell ya, Shakur ain’t just makin’ money from them PPV buys. The boy’s rakin’ in them fight purses too. Last time, when he fought Oscar Valdez, he took home a whopping $1.5 million for that bout. And that’s not all. For that fight against Shuichiro Yoshino, folks say he got around $3 million. Now, that’s a lotta dough! Seems like Shakur’s fightin’ for more than just glory—he’s fightin’ for the big paycheck too. That’s the reality of it all. Money talks, you know.

Now, not every fight of his is gonna be a pay-per-view smash hit, though. I was hearin’ about a possible fight with a guy named William Zepeda. Some folks are sayin’ that fight won’t even bring in 50,000 PPV buys. Can you imagine? I reckon that’d be a real flop, but who knows? Maybe people just aren’t interested in Zepeda, or maybe it’s just that folks wanna see Shakur fight the big names, like Tank Davis. Ya gotta give the people what they want, and it seems like they want the big names.
But listen here, there’s more to Shakur’s story than just these big PPV numbers. This kid’s got skill, let me tell ya. He’s one of the brightest prospects in boxing. Folks are sayin’ he could go all the way and maybe even be one of the greatest of all time. That’s some big talk, but he’s got the potential. He’s got that sharp eye, those fast hands, and that confidence you can’t teach. Some of these young fighters come out all flash, but Shakur, he’s got the substance to back it up. Ain’t no wonder why the promoters are backin’ him. They see the dollar signs too.
And don’t be fooled by his record either. This boy’s just gettin’ started. Some folks say he’s got more to give. I reckon we’re gonna see him take on bigger names, bigger fights, and bigger paydays. The thing with PPV buys is that it’s all about star power. You gotta have the charisma, the style, the skill, and the right matches. Shakur’s got that mix, and if he keeps it up, you can bet your boots he’ll be makin’ even more money in the years to come.
At the end of the day, though, it’s about the fight. Ain’t no amount of money gonna make up for gettin’ knocked out in the ring. But somethin’ tells me Shakur Stevenson ain’t gonna be seein’ the canvas too often. He’s a fighter, a true one at that. And as long as he keeps his head on straight, he’s gonna keep stackin’ them wins—and them paychecks too.
