Comments Thread For: 50 Cent on Boxing's Issues, Top Rank-Golden Boy Feud

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Newly formed SMS Promotions which is headed by rap artist turned boxing promoter 50 Cent has created a huge buzz within the boxing industry. Many are curious to see what exactly 50 Cent can bring to the sport and most importantly if he can be successful in his new venture.

50 Cent spoke exclusively to BoxingScene’s official radio show The Boxing Lab and talked about the problems he’s seen in the sport and how he plans to address them. One of the major problems 50 sees is promoters not wanting to match up their fighters with other good fighters. Don’t expect 50 to be afraid to test his boxing stable against the best as he would certainly welcome it.

Wasn't 50 responsible for Rios vs Gamboa not happening??? They got into Gamboa's head to pull out and they bought out his contract from TR.

If you can make Broner vs Gamboa, you'll be forgiven... but that's unlikely.

50 is new to the promotional game, He would do the exact samething when he and his fighters get to the position of the big promotional companies, it's great that he is eager and wanted to make all the big fights now but when he gets to the top he too would laugh at any new promoter trying to make fights for there fighters.

50 cent maybe the next Don King. And I mean the young Don who gave us thrilla in manilla, rumble in the jungle, Duran Leonard Holmes Ali Hearns.

If he takes over maybe we will finally see some real fights.

DLH said he was going to "clean the psort of boxing" ummmmmmm

He is only cleaning everyone's pocket and I sure 50 will follow suit!

You have to hope it's gradually moving forward all the time. Bob Arum probably thinks he's a saint compared to the mobsters who controlled the sport when he was a kid.

Gamboa Broner please boxing make this fight.

Cleaning up Boxing? That's like cleaning up a toilet; it's just going to get ****tie the next day anyway.
