I'm excited for this. Building up fighters in their home regions is an excellent way of attracting a fan base and creating buzz. Look at Fernando Guerrero.

I hope Duva succeeds.

I agree with you man. Boxing needs to invest in the future fans. MMA is got the youth and boxing is still around due to the 25+ crowd. Good on Duva. I dream of the day boxing is back on primetime tv every week.
