    Why? the dude is new to the business, give him a chance, you don't become Bob Arum or GBP overnight. Hell I can't see how someone as famous as 50 can be anything but good for the sport due to the amount of new fans he can bring to the sport, at the very least.

      He ain't making no fights so what's the point? After all this time he's made no progress whatsoever. Other promoters are just trying to use him. Boxing is a short career and 2 years out your prime can be devastating. Gamboa and Dirrell are both missing out on there best years thanks to this moron. Besides he ain't gonna bring new fans as he has no credibility left.

        I'm not too educated on the whole Gamboa-Dirrell situations but are you sure that their inactivity is completely 50's fault? I think Gamboa was busted for PED's or something last year, maybe that has a little something to do with his inactivity?

        50's got a lot of money, he could throw a huge amount of money down the line for some big fights, and I'm not sure why you think he doesn't have a lot of credibility but isn't he well respected in the hip-hop/rap community? He can use his music, among other things to draw interest and more fans into boxing. Like I said it takes a lot of time to really get things going as a promoter and he has a lot of money, now he just needs some more experience and time to make things click.

        I'm not saying he's going to be an ATG promoter, I'm just saying I don't think he's hurting the sport at all, like you're saying. (again I am not too informed on the Dirrell, Gamboa situations, though)

            These two had issues way before they ran into 50. So blame them.

              As far as i know Gamboa was never banned/suspended from boxing. Dirrell can't get no decent fights either. I believe he's had 2 fights in 2 years since signing without any television exposure. Fiddy has a lot of money but from what i understand he's getting fighters paid peanuts.

              50 cent has become a joke in the hiphop world for the most part. I can't see him bringing many new fans at all. He's been on the decline for a while now, you can consider him to be a hasbeen like the guy he ruined - a ja rule lol. I'm just annoyed he's bringing down boxing talents with him.

              For the amount of time he's been "promoting" he hasn't shown anything, and i just don't see things changing.

                I say give him a little more time, but fair enough

                    I liked when he came in from the sky for a Gamboa fight or something. Other than that I do not mind what he does. I guess he can be the King promoter for FNF
