50 Cent's stable is looking HOT right now

[janeschicken]

Damn, this fool has dynamite on his hands!! He bout to make dat CASH. Let's review:

Andre "The Black Ghost" Dirrell : His eerie silhouette last seen walking the halls of Dr. Shaw Hi's Brain Trauma Clinic late at night.

Yuriorkis Gamboa : Caught drinking new "Extra Spicy" Cuban Spiced Rum.

Billy "I'm so dull I make John Ruiz sick" Dib : On an international outreach program to help affected insomniacs all over the world.


SMS Promotions gonna take over the game, yo!!

Reading that it becomes very clear why there was actually no such thing as Mayweather Promotions and it was just a name Floyd threw out there to look like he was doing something.

Floyd new it was futile so didn't bother.

He certainly got out at the right time, unlike some of his other ventures:

At first I thought it was interesting to see what he would bring to the table as a promotor but gamboa's ring entrance was cringe worthy and I realized he cares more about self promotion than that of his fighters.

I thought the combination of Mayweather, 50 and Al Haymon could make a formidable promotion company. The celebrity and charisma of 50 combines with Floyd's boxing status and the business genius in Haymon would create a strong promotion company.
A lot of fighters came out and really wanted to be on board with it from Bert, Lundy, Judah, rumors of Kirkland, and I forgot who else.

But then Floyd started screwing around and dragging his feet, and 50 tried to make Floyd leave Haymon and his ego started shining through more.
All I can say is I feel bad for Dirrell and Gamboa

I don't.

Dirrell had a chance to fight Ward for the SMW title but declined.

Gamboa I feel sorry for because he was stitched up by Bob Arum, but at the same time he's just been implicated in a drugs bust.

At last something we can agree on.

I think Curtis overstepped though. In an interview he said before Floyd went in he asked him for "help with Mayweather Promotions". He said he knew exactly what that meant. I doubt it. Forming a new company and making himself a full partner is not what I would consider "Help with Mayweather Promotions". Curtis made assumptions and rolled with them way too fast and Floyd was right to step back.

Last time I remember seeing Gamboa fight prior to his long absence he fought with a bit of a mean streak. Now we know it was roid rage?

In that same interview he also said that Mayweather Promotions didn't actually exist as a company.

This stuff dates back to 2009 I think.

That's another reason I think Jackson overstepped his bounds in ass u me ing he knew what Floyd meant. Jackson dissed Floyd for 'not being his own man' and having someone else controlling his money and not enough other business interests. I think maybe Floyd wanted to build something for himself and was just asking a friend to help him do that.

If I'm a fighter, I want my promoter to be focused on boxing 100%.
50 cent has been more concered with promoting his headphones and album.
Still time to turn things around as its just begun, but off to a bad start IMO.
