            Good point...however, investing in sports can be quite risky...I don't want that much risk considering today's economy...

                Well... if the reason I had $600 Million was partially due to me BEING a boxing promoter... then uh... YEAH.

                  I would, I would want to stay involved. I would also try to buy out all of the sanctions (WBC, WBO, WBU, IBF, IBO) and merge them into one.

                    say what you want about Oscar but he loves the sport of boxing. He even said that he can't stay away from it and it shows. He fought about 4 years too long and now he sees himself changing the sport through his promotion company.

                    I think DLH can do a lot of good or bad depending on the road he takes when it comes to boxing.
