Fresh off the heels of a CBS Morning’s interview with Gayle King Claressa Shields, 4 time undisputed boxing champion, held a press conference at SEI LESS in NYC’s garment district.
During the luncheon, she announced a lucrative partnership with both Salita Promotions + Wynn Records. This $8M multi-year multi-fight is a landmark agreement in the history of women’s boxing.
Since Shields’ last match in July, the GWOAT has been a free agent. This two-time Olympic gold medalist is establishing the responsibility of building her brand. With this deal, the heavyweight aims to garner $50 million per fight like Floyd Mayweather before she retires. And, Claressa looks forward to fighting whoever the boxing federation deems to be a noteworthy contender.
As the junket progressed, Papoose describes Sheilds as the ‘love of his life’ and is the catalyst for bringing many of her new ventures into reality. He further shares his transition from artist to executive in 2022, cementing a milestone in his legacy, and revealed his new appointment as Creative Director of Wynn Records. The hip-hop legend proves that sincere connections can be fruitful.
