@PaulKeaney4 Yes. These fighters would never work on an open book PPV model where they see all the revenue and expenses, pay costs, pay a promoter and keep the rest. Networks have to overpay at the moment

๐จ 'WE WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT HONOR THEIR WORD'
๐ J. Prince on Shakur Stevenson leaving Zuffa Boxing: "We had a contract, so the purses and different things were pretty much agreed upon. It was just getting an opponent. I think a lot of time was spent on the wrong opponent, which was Devin Haney. ... We had several fighters mentioned in our contract that we should've been focusing on but for some reason Devin was the target. And not delivering that target, we don't want to continue to move forward with him in mind. ... We want to move forward with relationships and situations where people honor their word and keep their word. That's important to us." [@FightHubTV]
๐ J. Prince on failed Devin Haney-Shakur Stevenson talks: "I think Devin wanted the fight; I think Bill didn't want the fight. And I think they figured out a way to sabotage the fight. ... That's part of the lies that's being told. No rehydration clause. We agreed at 145 and Shakur was training for the fight. I was told Devin was training for the fight. But as you see, some kind of way, at the 11th hour or whatever it was, 'Oh, we want to fight at 147 now.' I don't think they ever wanted the fight." [@FightHubTV]
๐จ SHAKUR NEVER OFFERED $7M FOR RAYO
โ J. Prince on the reports that Shakur Stevenson was offered $7 million to fight Jose "Rayo" Valenzuela: "All of those are lies. There never was a conversation. That's all on social media as a truth and you have people standing on that with all the other lies as being true. Never was discussed with me. Never was a conversation." [@FightHubTV]

๐จ 'ZUFFA COULDN'T DELIVER WHAT THEY PROMISED SHAKUR'
๐ Eddie Hearn on Shakur Stevenson: "He had a deal where he was guaranteed money for a fight โ [Zuffa Boxing] couldn't deliver that fight. That's not the deal. Just because [Zuffa] couldn't, it's not Shakur's fault. Shakur was promised a fight, they couldn't deliver it." [@St0mpingGround]
