Well now, let me tell you ’bout this fella Shakur Stevenson, he’s a real whiz in the ring, y’know? Ain’t lost a single fight yet, all 19 of ‘em! He’s now moving up to fight in the 135-pound category, and guess what? He’s doin’ it right in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey, at the Prudential Center. Folks are excited, I tell ya! He’s lookin’ at a nice chunk of change, a guaranteed million bucks, and he’s gettin’ about 70% of the PPV shares. That’s a lot of dough for one night’s work!
Now, he’s a two-weight world champion, that means he’s held titles in different weight classes, which is mighty impressive. He just won against this tough guy, Edwin De Los Santos. You know, that fella was known for knockin’ folks out, but Shakur just outpointed him. It’s like watchin’ a chicken dodge a fox, real clever-like!
And lemme tell ya, the buzz around his fights is somethin’ else. Just recently, his fight with Artem Harutyunyan brought in over a million bucks at the gate! That’s right, over 90,000 tickets were sold for that big event. Can you imagine? Folks love to see a good match, especially when it’s someone as skilled as Stevenson.
Now, when we talk PPV buys, it gets real interestin’. You see, there’s been some big names in boxing history that’ve racked up serious buys. Like Mayweather, he’s had fights that drew in over 15 million buys! And don’t even get me started on the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight back in 2015—4.6 million buys! That’s a sight to behold, I tell ya!
So, what does Shakur need to do? Well, he’s got to put on a show when he faces Joe Cordina on October 12th over in Riyadh. Everyone’s waitin’ to see how he does. It’s important for him to shine, especially since he’s earned himself a good purse for his last fight, which was around $3-4 million against De Los Santos. And for this upcoming match, he’s guaranteed 1.5 million! That’s a fine pay day, ain’t it?
Now, some folks wonder how these PPV buys work. It’s all about the promotion, the excitement, and how many people want to tune in to watch. The more folks that want to see a fight, the more money it brings in. And Shakur, he’s got that spark that gets people talkin’.
People are hopin’ he’ll keep up that winning streak, ‘cause let’s be real—everyone loves a winner! And if he keeps on knockin’ out the competition, those PPV buys are gonna skyrocket. Just think about it, the whole world will be watchin’, sittin’ in their living rooms with popcorn, shoutin’ for their favorite fighter.
All in all, Shakur Stevenson is one to watch. He’s got the skills, the charm, and the hustle. With each fight, he’s makin’ a name for himself, and folks are ready to pay to see him in action. So, keep your eyes peeled, ‘cause this young man’s goin’ places!
