Jay-Z Wants To Sign Rigondeaux???

[#1Assassin]

So he is a boxing promoter now?

sports agent, he signed kevin durant as well less than a year ago. rigo will still be promoted by caribe promotions or at least co promoted, i think he is looking for another promoter to work besides them as well.

i think its a great idea, jay will only work on building rigos brand (which he needs) and possibly help money wise with purse bids and whatnot. unlike 50, jay z has a long history of getting things done business wise.

After the Fiddy fiasco i hope this isn't true!

Unless Jay Zed has a working relationship with one of the big boys this would be a pointless move.

HOWEVER...

A few clips of Beyonce at a boxing match wouldnt hurt!

Mostly in music and fashion though, two industries he could basically walk into because he's a famous rapper. As 50 cent found out, being a boxing promoter is a whole different thing.

Remember Haymon started in music too

Like Arum said, Rigondeaux could be promoted by Castro it wouldn't make a difference as long as the fights are not entertaining.

he and his team of lawyers, agents, and flunkies, got robinson cano a huge deal. 240 million is a lot of dough. a quarter billion dollar contract is not the kiddie pool.


i'm interested to see how this goes, and if Jay z can get him on the networks. if he gets rigondeaux back on showtime or hbo, i'll be impressed. i'm not sure if he really thinks he can make money with rigondeaux.

i hope he's not just looking to get him on espn. that would be a publicity stunt. those fights make very little money.

rigondeaux vs lomachenko has this massachusetts son frothing from the mouth.

hell, i'd like to see rigondeaux and gamboa @ 130 lbs.


rigondeaux is not getting any younger.

far from true.

jigga owns dozens of clubs in the states and is looking to expand worldwide, he invested in cosmetics, real estate and of course the barclays centre, he is part owner in the brooklyn nets and owns a brand of liquor.

all of these ventures turned profit except his stake in the brooklyn nets, which he is presumably involved in for sentimental reasons as much as financial.

more importantly like i have previously stated on this very page he isnt looking to be a promoter. rigo would be signed to roc nation sports, a management group that already includes basketball players, baseball players and the likes in addition to now potentially a fighter.

jay z would be managing rigo and building his brand outside of the ring, NOT his promoter.

Maybe Jay Z can work with Haymon since Haymon has a good history with Beyonce

Great news
A famous pop "rapper" managing a top former olympic champion Cuban
Sounds perfect, can't fail...
If Rigo goes for this he must be a lot dumber than I'd ever have thought
