Roc Nation Should Focus on Signing Fighters instead of Focussing on purse bids.

Rigondeaux is a loss-maker, the guy empties venues and loses viewers. No business is trying to lose money.

He is one of the best fighters in the Biz. Klitschko is the most boring fighter. Rigo is no main eventer but he can be a co-main eventer.

Riveting insight.

Klitschko fights in Germany. Remember what happened when he was aired in the US? Same story with Rigondeaux.

And then the fight won't happen.


When did they try to sign Rigo. Why did they fail

They failed for the same reason the Wilder-Stiverne would be in jeopardy even with a purse bid as a fail safe. **** management, personal beefs, incompetence, etc. Rigo has other ppl around him as well.

OK...WHO?

After seeing 50 Cent rush to sign fighters and then seeing him STRUGGLE to get them quality fights, I don't think signing fighters is the quick fix that people think it is

Also doubt Proven Fighters in their Prime will sign with a NEW PROMOTION and then have to wait for that Promotion to make a name for themselves.

PROSPECTS! That is who they should focus on, create and introduce NEW STARS TO BOXING!

Agree as well, but if they can get Rigo and Ward on board, thats even better for them. Roc Nation should go after any unsigned olympians that want to turn pro.

That is pretty much the best way for them to go sign a whole gang of younger unknown guys with incentive laden deals. Then have them fight it out on tv, a couple guys will come out maybe they make it at the top end or maybe they don't but a couple cycles of that could set them up nicely.

Still they should have a multi-pronged approach if they want to be serious putting all their eggs in one basket is not the best way.

Think the negotiations happened a a little over a month ago maybe, that part is uncertain. Rigo's manager Gary Hyde tweeted out frustration of Rigo turning down a HUGE offer that pretty much indicated it was RN because Caribe was in his ear and told him not to. Caribe are screwing him over in terms of opportunities but that's a whole 'nother issue

Yes Olympic Stars is a great place to start if Haymon haven't go to them already. Haymon basically locked up every US Fighter from the 2012 Olympics: Terrell Gausha, Erroll Spence, Marcus Browne just to name a few

That's dumb. They didn't sign him cause caribe would be part if the deal they don't want that monkey on their back
