    To be honest makes sense they will predominately sign black fighters (not saying this is what happening), you know everyone feels more comfortable with their own kind, and everyone knows you will look out for your own people before anyone else. Happens all the time in school, work force, jails, just how we are, so makes sense here aswell and their is nothing wrong with that.

      Just because they are not big draws now does`nt mean Floyd can`t build them up with the right fights and the right promotional tactics.Once Floyd can get Gamboa in their with his worshiper Adrien Broner Gamboa will be bigger if he beats him then he could possibly do a fight between Gamboa and Juan Manuel Marquez.

      For Dirrel he could build Dirrel up to be a big ticket seller in Flint Michigan which is Dirrel`s hometown.Plus Dirrel is very talented and an exciting fighter who have chance to get big fights with Ward,Froch,Hopkins,Jean Pascal and Froch.

      With Berto and his exciting style,the right fights can potentially make him a big draw.

      With Zab well i don`t know,Zab still has talent skill and experience left,If he could somehow get over doubting himself against top fighters he has a chance to resurrect his career and make good money for Floyd for a little while.

        That doesn't apply to business ventures.

        Please don't be ignorant.

          Damn they are fast! I definitely think they'll go after Broner, Russell, and Rigondeaux, may even go after Quillin.


          I wonder what their plans are regarding the heavier divisions like Cruiser and HW

            Umm yes it does. Like he said, people feel more comfortable with their own kind, it's just the way it is.

                  If I were a promoter, I would want to make the best decisions so my company can burgeon. So any ounce of prejudice or "I feel more comfortable with my own race" should be put aside for the better of your business.

                  If you consider yourself a knowledgeable person, you shouldn't have any quarrels with the above.

                    You tell me not to be ignorant and I'll tell you if you truly believe that Please don't be naive.

                    Of course it is easier to do business with your own kind. They are plenty of organization built around this notion.

                      We're not saying that FLOYD or 50 feels inclined to sign black fighters, it's the other way around. These young black fighters feel more comfortable signing to them, there's nothing wrong with that.
