it is what it is its just now starting to get its foot in the door. their espn friday night fights are on showtime on friday. It has its positives but there is no way to know give it another few years before we know if it will be a legit power or not. You could have someone like broner go there you just never know
You seem to have everything upside down. Jackson did not "steal" Mayweather's fighters. How could he have done that??? Either you're NEW or ignorant, maybe both, maybe neither, but certainly ill-informed.
Mayweather and Curtis Jackson, friends, formed the TMT together, and signed some boxers. The signing was left primarily to Jackson who had the ready money and he actually paid Top Rank $1.25 mill to get Gamboa's release. Mayweather went to gaol, and by the time he got out their friendship had frayed. Jackson said that Mayweather was supposed to have put in $2 mill as his share to start the company, but he couldn't get it out of him. They parted, their company was dissolved, and Jackson was left with boxers signed and a good deal of money invested. So he started his own company with the boxers whom he had signed and called is SMS.
The original TMT Promotions was to have featured Mayweather as their primary attraction, but his desertion, left Jackson "high and dry". I don't expect that he would have gone into boxing promotion, starting alone. But he was stuck, he had to. And he's trying to make a go of it, and may succeed, as he is on good terms with Top Rank.
Someone mentioned Pacquiao promotions as being nothing. They put on regular promotions in the Philippines, which is a good start. I don't know of they ever intended to be anything more than that. Cotto, Alvarez and the others have promotional companies as a means through which to diffuse tax from their fights.
Theirs 2 sides to the story,according to Floyd,he never agreed to start a promotional company with 50,which is believable because why would you want to give someone else half your earnings :dunno: .Also the fact that 50`s associate wrote a letter to Floyd while Floyd was in prison-trying to get Floyd to leave Al Haymon to start a promotional company with him and 50-is another indication that Floyd never intended to start a promotional company with 50.
And Damon Dash promotions had a terrible stable called the Chin Checkers;Floyd`s stable is way better then the Chin checkers;the Chin Checkers lost to bums.
Most of the TMT fighters are only prospects so its too early to judge.Personally,i think Mickey Bey,Chris Pearson,Badou jack and J`leon Love are good prospects.
THe Only reason is that the promoter dont wont any fighter to steal his show or hype.
That is why he has a cruiserweight in his stable.
I mean really? An American cruiserweight
Not great but Not the worst. I think that this is just the beginning though with Mayweather promotions I wouldn't be surprised if after Floyd retires and with the backing of Haymon that they start to become one of the top promotion companies in the sport.

TMT is not a promotional company. TMT is like a crew or group of friends. I think you mean Mayweather promotions.
From what I understood TMT is a clothing line, Mayweather Promotions is the promotional company.

Mayweather Promotions got a guy named Floyd Mayweather so.........they are ranked #1 in terms of money generated.
Floyd alone makes more $$$$.... than Goldenboy/Top rank entire stable.

Hell no people,,,, TMT may not be the best, but its better than DKP right now, thats for sure,,,
TMT has decent fighters, none are really proven at the top level, but all would be considered a good win if someone beat them,,
Mickey bey looks good, but i swear he is the new jorge linareas,, all that talent but will come up short
Badou Jack- Decent guy, i think he could get outclassed when he steps up,, Doesnt seem to have a grasp on ring generalship yet,,
Jleon love- Too much too soon for him,, He should have been brought up more slowly, but in all honesty he will probably cherrypick to a title shot, and get exposed badly when he does step up,,
Pearson- Looked decent for the few moments he fought,,, Jury still out on him, all i can say is keep him active, 2014 he should fight at 6-10 times, dont care if its vs some bums, just keep the kid active, 2015 look to get ranked guys
I actually enjoyed the card last night, it was entertaining. That was due to the matchmaking though, setting up the TMT fighters with bums (except for Medina who was decent). I do agree that the talent level of the stable is just D+ at best. Love is crap... Fought a guy who stepped into the weight class for the first time after a 2 year layoff with 4 losses and still got tagged clean more than he should've.
if floyd thinks the guys in his stable are actually good this could explain his choice of opponents. maybe he really thought guys like baldomir, judah, ortiz, and guerrero were good fighters.
I like mickey bey even though he got meldrick taylored by john molina. But ya everybody else on TMT blows like Ishe smith....christ that guy is just the worst.
Anything associated with TMT is going to get a high rating because haters drive the ratings. I bet last nights ShoBox got a high number for ShoBox at least. Hate all you want on Floyd but Mayweather Promotions is doing it right. He's getting his fighters dates. That's what a promoters job is. He just needs one or two big name stars to take the brand to the next level.
There's no more TMT, there's Mayweather promotions (Floyd) and there's SMS promotions (50 Cent).
So what's all that TMT gear then? The banner the rope straps all said TMT...
