    He's the one who comes up with fights you didn't imagine getting made like Broner/Rees, Broner/Malignaggi. Who in boxing universe would come up with such fights? Very brilliant.

      Just another crooked old man working with his bank balance in his best interests, a la Don King and Bob Arum.

        He's a guy that promotes fighters like his concert acts. Build up the hype to get people in the door. Doesn't matter if the final product doesn't live up to the build up as people won't remember once its over.
        Got to hand it to him, he is a brilliant businessman and knows how to promote guys.
        The downside is that it causes his fighters to take less chances and get matchups that are tailored made for them vs. matchups that would be great for the sport.

          He's the Boss of Boxing. Well Showtime Boxing at least cuz that's where the majority of fighters fight on.

                      He's the guy who makes sure his boxers stay undefeated. But he also throws them under the bus when he sees bigger money. The Khan vs Garcia result was unexpected. He was already in contact with the Khan team in prep for the Mayweather fight a week before the Garcia fight.
