    These promoters can't afford a conscience or loyalty.

    They're ruled by the dollar, plain and simple.

Has he chilled out with old age and maybe feel bad about past fighters he's possibly screwed over and left for dead in the gutter? What do you guys think?
      because he hasn't had any real marquee fighters in a long time. His fighters have not been on the big stage in years, until just recently with Alexander. I bet they are getting screwed in some fashion, but the money is not on the level of what it used to be for his fighters.

      When he does have those fighters Alexander, maybe Mayweather in big money fights, the stories will surface in time..His reputation speaks for itself.

      He'll ***'em.

        I've wondered the same thing and would like to think so. It's hard not to like the guy (from a distance at least, not like I know him personally).

          Panda is annoying when referring to itself in the third person.

              No I think many people were just afraid to do business with him, so he hasn't been in the forefront as much. But his mind seems to be as sharp as it ever was, with the way he's trying to woo Mayweather into signing with him.
