    Curtis Jackson is an intelligent man, but he has no respect for the history of the sport. All he will care about is making money, so you can expect to see his rapping pals plugging their new albums on all of his shows. Tacky.

    But the worst part is look at the fighters he is signing, all of the most rotten, scummy, fighters you could hope to find.

    Ped cheats, criminals, duckers and frauds are flocking to TMT en mass

    The only hope is that arum, gbp, saurland, Warren etc freeze these fools out, let those clowns fight amongst each other, people won't put up with it for long I think
    Do Don King and Bob Arum have massive respect for the history of boxing?

    No they care about making money.

    All promotors are the same, I feel you could be being racist.

    • It's gonna be harder to get good fights if tmt gets overly protective.

          More competition is usually a good thing.

          More capital investment in an industry is generally good also.

          Humpty Dumpty is pretty much laying shattered on the ground, they probably can't put him back together but he is already fucked up they can't do much more to harm to him~
          I agree here.

          The more competition there is, the more the promotional companies have to fight & make an effort for the customers to purchase the PPV for their fights.
          Only solution to this is to make the fights the fans wants to see happen.
          We had TR & GBP as the top promoters in the US and the fight that everybody wanted to see, didn't happen because of those two promotional companies. With more promoters it benefits the fighters who want to face the best, but can't because of ****** personal conflicts with the CEO's of those companies.

          I'm giving TMT a chance and I hope that they will bring back some healthy competition into the sport of boxing.

          One last thing, Earl, who doesn't want to make money? Especially in this sport, it's all about the $$..

              Don't forget it was BRONER who went on those racist rants, you know, your favorite fighter?




              Wow probably should have kept this one to yourself.
              1. I meant a race war between the ******, race-obsessed posters on this site, not Rios and Broner themselves.

              2. Im not even a fan of Broner. I find him annoying.

              3. You are an idiot.

              Respond to this one with whatever your new account is.

                Why shouldn't you get called out on racism? The things you're complaining about has happened with other promoters yet going by the nature of this thread it is not a blot on the image of boxing.

                You complain about 50 cent using boxing to promote rappers sales. What about when Pacquiao and Clottey fought, did Clottey not use the event to promote his new single? How come there are no complaints there?

                You complain about criminals signing over to TMT, how many of the fighters (outside of Floyd of course) are criminals? Whilst in the past Top Rank has promoted past criminals ( George Foreman). Bernard Hopkins is promoted by Golden boys promotion. Throughout the history of the sport numerous past criminals have been promoted yet that is not seen as a blotch on the sport.

                Your complaints about ped cheats- what about Top Rank continuing to promote a fighter who was caught with plasters in his wraps? What about Golden boys promotion promoting Mosley after the Balco scandal. Did that ruin the sport of boxing for you?

                You complain about Top Rank signing a bunch of ducks? What do you make of Bob Arum's talk of needing build a new stadium? Talking about how Pacquiao's cut needs time to heal but how it would be okay for the Marquez fight? Is that not the definition of a duck for you? Then what about him openly admitting that they protected Chavez from Martinez?

                You're being called out on racism because of your double standards.

                  Joshua Clottey makes music? What does he do, let the beat play for five minutes while he waits for an opening to start singing?

                  • The only thing I'm worried about is them matching their fighters like Floyd's career. I don't want to see a bunch of softly matched guys in fights they should win running around claiming to be the goat. Other than that, there are very few honest promoters.

                    Hell I remember when Oscar broke the news about him becoming a promoter. He had me believing he'd be honest & fair & he'd bring some integrity back to the sport. The Juarez-Barrera happened. Poor Juarez drew in the fight & by the time he made it to his dressing room, it was a loss on his record. Then I knew golden boy was more of the same.

                      You hear that, Boxingscene?

                      I'm RACIST because I DIDN'T CALL OUT CLOTTEY ON HIS SINGING
