    Smart move, I was wondering when this was going to happen.
    I think we are going to have a new force in boxing felas.

    Cause I had read reports about Mayweather Promotions not actually having a Promoters license.
    This confirms it in some way.

    Interesting indeed. Must be a joint venture with Mayweather Promotions.

    Much respect for 50.

    Now hopefully Mayweather/50 can take out Bob Arum and become the dominant forces in boxing, now that DK is done.

    Dirrell is a clown so hes with the right promoter if you can call that dude a promoter to begin with.

    But Gamboa is a real talented kid.

    But hes a very impressionable kid too.

    hes been swayed by all the hoopla surrounding 50 and his buttbuddy Floyd.

    This is a bad move for him.

    Now watch his career go down the gutter.

    Boxing is becoming more and more like a circus or like the WWE.

    Full with clowns and gimmicks.

    He should sign all the Cuban fighters. With what TR and GB are reportedly paying them, he could double that with his pocket change.

    the sport isnt gonna get anymore hurt than it is. 50 is a massive name. if he plays his cards right it could bring in more fans. especially the younger generation. more fans equals more money for fighters. hope it works

    I hope he does well, 50 isnt the 1st rapper to get involved in boxing. I remember MC Hammer was Holyfield's manager for a while.

    Most important thing is that Gamboa & Dirrell get fights & stay active. I hope 50 picks up a few prospects as well & doesnt just focus on world-level, established fighters.
