    Just on a side note...why does it cost so much. Surely the machines etc are already purchased. What's the expense going on. Some of them medical bills seem astronomical.

    Heart goes out to the kid...shame on rocnation. How hard is it for a so called big company to help the guy out...not just from there own pocket but there's other means as well. Charity dinners/fundraisers. Putting his cause out to the public domain etc. Just really really low from them imo. Hope the guy continues on his road to recovery.

    There is no need for one. We have a welfare system here designed for the poor and the old.

    Daniel Franco had lunch with former Chief Operating Office of Roc Nation
    boxing division recently with David Itstowitch. David was not working for
    Roc Nation when Daniel had his tragic fight.

    Daniel use to study pyschology. But quit college at 19 to concentrate on boxing. He says he has a 3.25 GPA and plans on improving his cumulative grade post average in coming semesters.

    I contributed to his gofundme. He's a good guy who caught a bad break. Roc Nation could have done something, anything, and it would have been better than silence.

    i agree, they arent thinking long term. even if they feel no moral obligation to step in, its good business to be seen as the company who will be there even if your career dont pan out like you hoped. fighters on the fence about joining the company would probably be pushed to roc's side with such a gesture. now they figure, if i break an arm i wont exist anymore.

    Good on you champ! :thumbsup: If only ROC had a heart like you.

    Franco seems like a great kid. Awesome to see him carrying on with life and striving to better himself. True champ!
