This article is mainly about his basketball team but I heard him talking on the radio and he really wants to bring Boxing excitement back to New York City and not just have it all take place in Las Vegas. He said like how the Staples Center holds some big events he wants to do the same.

They gotta fix the tax implications for these fighters before they'll fight there.

I remember they were pushing Zab Judah back in '03 when he was rising fast.

didn't someone say something like some of the bigger boxing stars won't come to NY because of the taxes? that's why you don't see pac or wifebeater going there...

cotto's fanbase is in NY so... but other than that...

Who cares what Jay-Z wants? What has he ever done for the sport?

I guess Jay-z hasnt heard of MSG. Im sure we will get Paulie and Zab at the Barclay center in BK but I doubt much better than that.
