Who needs promoters, agents, TV companies, broadcasters and networks when boxers can speak direct with one another?
Well, all the above are important however, but that said, sometimes boxers can get some points out of the way themselves.
Shakur Stevenson who won a stoppage last week spoke to rival on Devin Haney directly on the X platform after Haney said ‘agreed’ prompting Stevenson to reply:
“What weight?”
If you go back to how the Terence Crawford and Errol Spence fight was made a couple of years ago.
Sure, organizers, managers, promoters and networks are vital but on some stickling points from making the fight happening, Crawford reaching out to Spence directly at the time did actually make the fight happen in the end.
Maybe it helps on some contentious points that the teams and the boxers cannot agree on before a fight is made, at times.
