Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. Declines 50 Cent's Offer To Join SMS

[MrClutch85]

Russell has Haymon on his team declining 50 offer was the right move

[Floyd R]

Russel Jr is smart and realizes signing with 50 Cent would be a huge step backward. 50 Cents has limited power in the world of boxing and his fighters will find themselves mainly on Friday Night Fight cards.

Signing boxers using Floyds name while hes locked up is one thing. Signing boxers on your own is completely different. 50s basically on Arums tit. ESPN apparently likes 50 but they dont have the boxing budget to pay big dollars. Peterson made like 13 grand fighting Holt on ESPN and hes an accomplished fighter. 50s finished in boxing. Just bow out gracefully and let Gamboa and Dirrell make something out of their carreer.

I think it's great that he isn't signed to any promotional contract or company, which means he would be open to working with any promoter but he would find his opportunity against the better names harder to get, He might need to be a mandatory before he gets his chance.

Good. That SMS ship is sinking fast. I like Russell. I think he has a nice future in boxing if he stops breaking his hands. Loving the fact he isn't signed to a promoter.

Good move. Signing with 50, is the new Madden cover curse for boxing.

You might not lose, but you're going to look bad.

Especially during the ring entrances ha

[thuggery]

Yeah, I don't think anybody in their right mind would want to join 50 Cent's company at this very moment.

Peterson made 35 for that fight. Holt was the one who took 12 or 13 before taxes and cuts with his team.

At least 50 still has his skyrocketing rap career to fall back on
