Waiting to hear Andre Ward's being returned to Goosen, lol...

Man that would be hilarious, in a tragic sort of way.

Hard to know if Ward is going to be better off with Roc Nation the way things are shaping up. They seem pretty unstable at the moment.

From Fat Dan, three weeks ago..

NEW YORK -- On the eve of the first boxing card being put on by music mogul Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports, the company on Thursday completed a deal to buy promoter Gary Shaw's company, giving it an instant stable of fighters.

The deal, which had been in the works for more than a month, was finalized around the time Roc Nation Sports was conducting the weigh-in for its first card Friday night (Fox Sports 1/Fox Deportes, 10 ET) at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, which is headlined by welterweight prospect Dusty Hernandez-Harrison against Tommy Rainone.

Shaw three weeks ago..

"I have joined the company. I really do think that they can do for a fighter what nobody else can by strength of their entertainment and music talent and the athletes they represent. When someone says they're with Roc Nation, it really means something. They're at the top of the game, and being with Roc Nation will elevate the boxers."

Shaw today..

"We had an amicable separation on Friday where we had never actually closed all the documentation to the deal and they were very kind,"Shaw confirmed to Boxingscene.com on Monday."Anything I had signed is now ripped up, for lack of a better term, and GSP, I always had the office. That was never moved, all bank accounts, they never changed. Whoever was with GSP before, is still with GSP."

This is why you never take anything seriously in boxing.

That sucks, I like new powerful promoters. I guess boxing is a monopoly.

Sources tell me JZ instituted a dress code within the company. When Shaw was told he couldn't wear track suits to work the deal was off.
