    It hasn't even worked, though. Shakur always fights in half-empty arenas, and people often walk out before the fight is over. The only reason this has sold out is that it's against Teo in NY, and it's been billed as an NY vs New Jersey thing. If calling Ray Robinson a bum got him more fans, I'd actually understand the logic, but it turns hardcore fans away, and then his style turns everyone else away. I just don't see how it benefits him.

    Shakur doesn’t care either way. Just continues to fight once a year.

    I actually like the running style. It’s an extremely athletic thing to do.

    it’s frustrating but it’s all about self preservation. If I were a boxer, I’d get on a bicycle as well.

    If SRR was a bum, Shakur would get destroyed by a bum, and even his back foot b!tch style wouldn't save him.
