    al haymon is going to really be running things i believe.

    under the Muhammad ali act i think it's illegal for a manager to be a fighters promoter as well.

    which is why tmt exist i may be wrong but i don't believe this was all of Floyd and 50's doing.

      The head of the company is a rapper, the company hasn't proven itself whatsoever. They haven't even put ONE show together yet and fighters(specially the brothas) are begging both Floyd and 50 to let them be a part of TMT.

      I mean, good for Floyd and 50 but ain't that ******ed? Just because Floyd is the biggest draw in the sport don't mean you will too by kissing his feet and getting him to sign you. I wish them well though.
      I think it's pretty obvious why it's getting so much attention. As far as figthers wanting to be a part of it goes, it's probably because they see potential in it and want to get in early. There's no telling what kind of things the figthers are being told/offered behind the scences. And the fact that this could either be really big for boxing or a big flop has a lot of people intrigued, hence all the talk. Not surprising to me really.

        Why is TMT getting so much attention?

        I think one of the main reasons (TMT) they're getting so much attention is because the majority of the powerful fight promoters that are in the fight game are much older than the fighters. So other than the Business of Boxing they may have no real connection as far as having something in common,on the other hand a artist like 50 or a fighter like floyd will probably more than likely have more things in common (hip hop,fashion,partying,style,women etc).Not saying all fighters will fit that mold,but a lot of the fighters may feel they have someone they can identify with..similarly to how in the late 80's and 90's so many of us saw ourselves in a fighter like Mike Tyson young rebel like,and deriving from were some of us may come from,so we gravitated to him pretty easily.Some may disagree but thats just my view of the picture,im sure they'll be other views some pro some con.Peace yall

          50 isn't A list he's an irrelavent shot rapper that flopped after 2006

          if Pacquiao and Jeremy Lin started a promotional company 98% of TMT supporters would despise it

          Hopefully TMT fails, we don't need the politics

            I am fairly sure that TMT is just a front for Al Haymon to exert more control as a promoter.
