Comments Thread For: Roc Nation Generates Buzz, Aims To Make a Statement

[Weebler I]

And that's what it all boils down to ... Using a top name to stay relevant. Without the name dropping, no one would even pay 50cent any attention. Boxer's do it all the time!

Having another major player in the game is always good news, especially since the old-timers have grudges with the competition. I'm hoping Roc Nation lights a fire under everybody to either step-up or step-back.

Jay-Z has his grudges already. Apparently hates Mayweather because he disrespected Beyonce (quelle surprise) and Haymon because of a legal situation.

If the rumors are accurate he has come in on HBO side of things. It will be interesting to see what network Quillin v Korobov ends up on.

Well if Roc Nation is going to keep overpaying for fights...then it will continue to "generate buzzes" but when do the profits kick in?

yep. thatsa what i'm seeing.
lets wait and see how they do.
lets see how long gbp and top rank stay courtious to the new comer.

Maybe he tried to beat her to death like Josie Harris

[ShoulderRoll]

Beyonce probably wanted the D and Floyd had to tell her to step off.

Excited to see how this works out, won't be easy though, boxing is so divided and with greedy promoters and managers it makes things difficult to put together big match ups...UNLESS more Belt Organization Order Fights and allow open bids like the one they won

I am sure Quillin and Korobov are not complaining either. Both of them are getting very good paydays. Even Goldenboy and Arum are happy, as they will get a percentage just for lending out their fighters.

I think Roc Nation will be successful and that they will have a respectable stable of fighters. I question the strategy though, because they are talking about heavy, year round promotion of their fighters. Will they really be willing to match them tough? Boxing at the highest level is a very risky sport, and I can't see Roc Nation ******** with a return on their investment.

Beyonce asked Mayweather to compare his lips to Jay Z's after a tough fight and he refused, bitch got offended by it and so it began.
