WelshDevilRob Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hes signing some talented fighters. Dirrell and Gamboa. If it gets Gamboa fighting then I'm a fan of 50 cent the Promoter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of money he has which was reported to be 400million I saw other day. He might be number one promoter in a few years time. Money means Power.

He already has Mayweather by the sounds of things, so he could do Great things. Though, I bet Don King is probably itching to do business with him cos there would only be one financial winner. grin// http://cdn2.mamapop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Don-King.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Interesting move. If this is just because his bum chum does it (not casting dispersions but they have a scary closeness for two people that havent actually known each other that long) then itll end up being a disaster because promoting isnt easy and just having money isnt enough. It has to be your life. If hes doing it because he truly loves the sport, wants to help fighters progress, put on big shows and make some money to boot, then best of luck to him. As Rob said, anything that gets Gamboa back in the ring is good for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 The word is aspersions, and you really are, in the same way as if you said "I'm not racist but" This is clearly a front for Mayweather, and I suspect we'll see the likes of Haymon and Ellerbe pulling the levers behind the scenes. At least I hope so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 There was me thinking I was being clever! I dont believe they are bum chums of course. They are very, very close though! bud// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemurphy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 No matter how you slice it, it's got to be good for boxing to have a third option when it comes to making the truly major fights in the USA. None of the second tier of promoters (DiBella, Goosen, etc.) have the bankroll to make PPV's like Golden Boy and Top Rank can, if he's willing to spend money to make money, then there's definitely going to be a market for him, a lot of fighters who aren't with the big two and want to get away from who they're currently with.
