50 Cent Now a Boxing Promoter, Expected to Sign Yuriorkis Gamboa and Andre Dirrell.

So is he a legit promoter or going the Mayweather promotions way and being an LLC?

I believe there are a lot of Cubans in ny

I meant in getting big name fights. If he has the Golden Boy connection, no problem then.

[Simply Zyzz]

Yes I'm sure he will have the golden boy connection....

50 Cent is cool with Al Haymon and Schaefer, the guy that gets left out in the cold is.....

The platinum selling artist, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has founded TMT Promotions — short for The Money Team — which has been licensed in New York and, according to Nevada state athletic commissioner Keith Kizer, is in the process of applying for a license in Nevada.

Ok, I feel about 100x better now.

Pretty cool, always good to see some new, younger blood trying their hand at this. Boxing business is cut throat, more cut throat than the music industry but the two are similar imo. Others have tried only to find out these shady characters in boxing run circles around amateurs who aren't tough enough. Hire some good people and hopefully they can add something new to the sport while the old gaurd...get old

He and Floyd should just combined their companies together.
