No question, Shakur leaving Zuffa is a bad look and a PR disaster for Zuffa in the short term. But given Shakur’s history, he’s always going to be hard to deal with, regardless of who the promoter is. If you’re turning down fights with Raymond Muratalla because you want the fight at 135 instead of 140, arguing over catchweights and rehydration clauses when you’re going to be making in excess of $15 million, and agreeing to fight certain fighters like Manny Pacquiao, Conor Benn, and Ryan Garcia at 147, which he has mentioned in the past, without any restrictions, then it raises questions when it comes to Devin Haney. Suddenly, you have all these restrictions and want Haney to jump through hoops for you, when even at 147, it’s still a winnable fight for you. Moving forward, I think there are going to be rocky waters ahead for Shakur if he continues to be so difficult to deal with at the negotiating table. At some point, people are going to start asking themselves, is the juice worth the squeeze?
