Why do people say ROC NATION is a force in boxing?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

People keep hyping roc nation since they won the quillen purse bid with a huge offer.. But the fight never materialized, they don't have any tv outlets, they don't really have a roster, all they have basically done is overbid for a paper title fight and never materialized.. Sounds basically like don king productions

So why do people think they are a force?

[Larry the boss]

Well they have the money to put behind fighters....but no money and have had no fights....so i guess it is the money aspect..but right now they are not even relevant

[-PBP-]

They are new on the scene and have no fighters. All they can do is win purse bids.

But they can shake up the world when Wilder/Stiverne goes to purse bid. I don't think Wilder will be as willing to step away from a title shot as Kid Undercard. If he passes on this belt his only path to a title is through Dr. Steelhammer.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

They need to start signing fighters and getting tv output deals...

Just piggybacking purse bids won't get them anywhere

[TonitosWay]

Not yet relevant in the sport in regard to action but to dismiss them as a force to be reckoned with is a fool's mistake.

[Hougigo]

Money, so far all they've been doing is toying with Haymon... they're probably going to bid again on the Wilder/Stiverne purse bids

[The Gambler1981]

A simple answer~ desperation.

Some people are very desperate for something to change, Roc Nation is new and throwing some money around so people want it to be a force.

[A.K]

if they can sign kevin durant they could make a major move real soon, who knows they might even help andre ward out his situation and base the company around him.

[El-blanco]

Obviously jay z's music empire speaks for itself, add to that several high profile athletes signed to his sports agency and its not a bad guess to assume they will be a player in boxing. They haven't done anything yet but they have the money and the power to be a major player.

[Luiz]

They made Haymon pull off his fighter. This something.
