      Floyd comments aside, 50 Cent sounds naive when it comes to promoting fighters (if he actually means what he says).

      One wrong opponent selection, and a potentially great young fighter could be physically ruined.

          "If he can iron out the details and get the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight done, that's going to be nearly as impressive a feat as selling $177,000 worth of headphones in nine minutes."

          so according to Kevin Iole, selling a bunch of headphones is more impressive than putting together the richest fight in boxing history. The fight that's pretty much impossible to make. Damn.

            I have big hopes for SMS. 50 Cent knows how business works, that's why his net worth storms over Floyd's.

              It appears to be obvious Floyd don't want to have a split with Pac. That fight could make 200 Mil World Wide for sure. How many countries will PPV it...

                50 talks a good game, And i hope he really does help push boxing forward and get opportunities to work with other promoters, The problem is he might not get that chance with other promoters which is a shame.

                  50 cent should be commended for taking risk and saving Gamboa's career. Floyd was Gamboa's idol. He left TR to be with his idol. Unfortunately, Floyd just ignored him and let him rot and treat him like another one of his worshipers.

                  Now Gamboa gets the chance to showcase his talent and become part of the biggest fight of this year. Thanks to 50.

                    It's sarcasm.

                      $177k for 8 min's of work is pretty damn impressive, only people who don't know the value of money would ****** **** like you just did.
