Comments Thread For: Dib Possibly Off Cotto-Trout Due To Background Fire

50 is going to put his fighters in a position that they only can fight top rank fighters which is sad because they are good fighters and top rank dont have many in the weight classes that dib gamboa and dirrell are in

So where are the people still trying to say 50 is a great businessman? You burn bridges like he has in the last few months and you will be black balled by everyone in the industry.

If he really is replaced cuz of 50 than GBP and Al haymon must really feel threated by SMS promotions

SMS is taking over!

Its better that he align himself with Top Rank at first anyways, Top Rank has the bigger production, fights and PPV numbers

Fifty burned that GBP bridge back when they were still the TMT. Now that he's SMS and trying to find fights, GBP is ****blocking him and pushing him to work with Dibella or Top Rank. I don't know how big Dibella's stable is, or if he even has fighters in the same weight classes as Dib, Dirrell, or Gamboa, so the likely bet is that Fifty goes to work with Top Rank.

Unfortunately Fifty brings no bargaining power to the table, as only one of his fighters has a belt, and the other fighters are known, but there's no hype behind them. Top Rank has all the bargaining power here and Fifty will either have to bend over for TR or say 'no thanks' and be left with a stable of three pissed off guys, or try and make amends with GBP. If Fifty aligns himself with TR, he's going to end up working FOR not WITH TR. If Fifty tries to make amends to GBP, he's going to have to do some serious asskissing. I don't think 50 has realized that he can't throw his name around and expect things to be done in boxing. Promoters are used to dealing with people with massive egos, they are not going to be intimidated by Fifty's ego and hostilities.

Really unfortunate for the fighter but 50 ****ed up getting smart with Oscar
If someone like Mayweather needs to use GB to promote fights what was 50 expecting to do on his own?

[devildg]

this isnt a big deal for 50, he can always do business with the best promoter in boxing - Bob Arum

the problem is Dib is lousy boxer thats not worth 50's time and resources. You can shine a turd but at the end of the day its still a turd.

[controlmachete]

sooo glad! dib is the dirtiest boxer around, he should go the *** back to australia and keep rabbit punching, low blowing and headbutting bums over there... of course oscar and haymon have something to do with this...

i feel bad for gamboa, he will be stuck in limbo forever... dirrell is a coward piece of shiet and dib a dirty ***er, they deserve the time in the fridge...

right on the spot... i dont give SMS more than 6 months, its in life support right now, look at those guys breaking their contracts after some months of inactivity when they realize 50 cant deliver... his only bargain power was his friendship with floyd and the general assumption that he could smooth things for the fight everybody wanted to see... smoke and mirrors,... lol!

50 has money, pay Bob more money and get Dib on a TR card. Bob will welcome 50 with open palms anytime 50 fronts the money. 50 brags that he has more money than Maywweather so i'm sure 50 can drop Bom Arum a few million each and every single time he needs a fighter to fight on a main card. I see no problem with this at all. Keep the fights coming 50.

[Light_Speed]

I knew there was a big chance GBP/Haymon would refuse to do business with 50. Dirrell and Gamboa need to fulfill their contract and leave 50 ASAP.

TR is on the decline.

Bob will welcome 50 with open claws anytime 50 fronts the money.

Fixed that for you.
