Roc Nations acquiring GSP will be huge. They wanted Wilder, but Jennings seems to be the one with better potential and they have the means to make him a star, which is why I think they'll back out of the Wlad fight for now. Build Jennings up and then make the fight and it'll be a mega HW fight in the big MSG. Also Tuerreno Johnson will benefit from this, don't know how much Geale will. Dulorme was getting put into position for a 140lb title shot.

Gary Shaw was a horrible promoter, but he's smart at building fighters and the best ever at finding talent. The list of guys he's brought up include Mosely, Pacquiao, Corrales, Bradely, Dawson, Angulo, Darchynian...

LOVE the fact that the focus is on introducing young talent and building up new Stars which boxing needs!

I seen Dusty Hernandez Harrison on Friday Night Fights a few time, he has some talent!

I like Dusty and I hope it works out for him but $205 IDK

Dusty's cool though fights on the outside or the inside. He's still young too.
Give him another 3 years and who knows we might be looking at a future champ @147.

Cool name too. "the beltway boricua"

I know everything is a bit more expensive in New York but they are either going to have to improve the product or adjust the price accordingly.

Good to see them getting serious about the sport though.

Not saying he's a cool guy. Met him a couple of times when he was on the MSG undercards and from the DMV myself.... 205 though man? Very steep price for a show that doesn't look that great.

I agree Roc Nation adding Shaw to their team is a good business move for them.
