(CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD.) - Gary Russell, Jr. (Capitol Heights, Md.) and his team, led by his father and trainer Gary Russell, Sr., are committed to their game plan for the undefeated featherweight's career. Russell has recently been courted by 50 Cent's SMS Promotions, but the 24-year-old has no plans to make changes to his team.

"Over the last few days, we've been getting a number of phone calls from 50 Cent's SMS Promotions. They want us to sign with their camp. I don't have anything against his team; but we are not interested...I'm not interested," Russell said. "Like I've said before Team Russell is not signed to any promotions team. I have a manager, Al Haymon, and he is the only person I'm signed with."

50 cent doing whatever he can to stay in Al Haymon's dog house

Good move. Signing with 50, is the new Madden cover curse for boxing.

You might not lose, but you're going to look bad.

g russell jr is taking a page out of mayweathers book. smart moves

Smart! Going to 50 will likely get him beat as he might match him up with someone good in his first fight under SMS. Russell content on fighting bums for awhile until the coast is clear to collect a belt from De Leon, hopefully, according to him.

Probably a wise move.

Good he would stagnate Russell's care......oh wait

Lol 50 isn't smart to go after Haymon's fighters. Seems like he's trying to run SMS into the ground right now. 50 made a mistake when he figured boxing would be just like being in any other business.

Those fighters sighned the contract thinking Floyd would be part of their team when he didn't show up and Floyd Sr. refused to put up with Dirrels BS the whole team became dead in the water.Its only a matter of time before they fold.I don't think dirrel will ever reach his full potential shame so many skills and so soft.
