I seen it and I thought all the rapping etc was a lil excessive but that just me, doesn't really bother me but I did like the fact he brought out alot of stars, cause you bring in the celebrites the sheeps/americans will follow blindly, all he needs is to get kim khardashian to show up and its a wrap boxing back in the mainstream like never before.
What was yall opinion of the card as whole/event not just the boxing? the boxing was eh imo nothing great but Roc Nation doesnt really have a solid stable yet to pull on GREAT show just yet.
I thought it was terrible. Embarrassing for Jay-z to call on all those people to come out for that. awful debut for roc nation. terrible mismatches below espn level ****. live rap sucks except for very few artists like method man, the roots, and Q-tip. Should of waited till he had better match ups to launch IMO and hired the Roots to perform. Hopefully he learns from this as a starting point. I'm sure Ward was thinking twice about signing with those guys are seeing that...should be some dates opening for him on showtime though...
Turreano Johnson - the guy who lost to Stevens last round ko- scored a ko victory. Relentless. Fought like Tyson and Frazier. Opponent suffered leg injury and doctor stopped it in between rounds but he would have been stopped anyway.
Dusty Harrison is the goods. Too much class , strength and power for his opponent
And this debutant fought.formerly Highly ranked amateur
name me some of the fighters who were on it?
cos outside of the US and hip hop fans I'm not sure if anyone is that bothered by Roc Nation. I'd like to see them put on a big fight for Ward with a top opponent and see how they do in the big, bright lights.
National Anthem - sounded terrible
black ring - terrible
showing the dj - terrible
Fabolous - busted ass
Fabolous dressed to pimp eskimo women - terrible
3+ songs - 2 1/2 too many
more boxing to watch - amazing.
^^^^
Didn't watch it but why the hate for Fab, he's cool been in the game 15 years got lots of hits and one of the remaining relevant MCs that's nice with the bars.
Was it Fab with 4 songs ? If so probably because he just released a album and hes a Roc client so Roc sports will do allot of cross promotion with their artist During the fights.
What I actually liked the anthem. I was happy she kept 98% original and didn't rnb it up I hate that shlt. Not bad for a first card just hope all them don't have on tv concerts which I doubt they will.

Stop the rapping circus.
The rapping is okay, but cut it to one song (instead of 4) and make it a hit track that everyone knows.
Black ring doesn't look good, gave everything a dark shadowy feel, not really cool.
Let's see if Roc Nation learn from it. If they don't, they won't survive.

I live 15 minutes away from NYC. The path train literally drops me off at MSG, I wish I was there.
Looked like so much fun.
Watching on TV; I didn't mind the music performance, just cut it to 1 or 2 songs.
Other than that, good for the first card.
I thought it was good considering it's the first card. On par with Showbox and regular Fox 1 cards. Jake Gyllenhaal showed up. Not bad.
thats big time now
