    What is Roc Nation Doing?

    Ward and Cotto are great fighters and Champions (when ward fights), but I can't see how Jay Z can make money off them with what they are allegedly paying them. Maybe there is some great small print in their contracts?

    Does anyone have an idea what fights they can make that will do well enough to cover the guarantees or are RN taking a loss to try and get a really Good TV deal?

          Pretty much. Well, trying.

          Im sure they're looking to build this baby promotional company into something huge. The way to do that is by grabbing big names (overpaying them) and hoping that lures other boxers in.

              I don't think they know the answer to that themselves.

                I think the deal with Cotto is not bad. It's less about Cotto as a fighter and more about a new generation of Puerto Rican fighters who will follow him to RN

                  Kind of like what WCW did in the wrestling biz, could work but only for so long if you don't eventually figure out what the hell you are really doing.

                    Arum made a damn good point (for once) RN has burned bridges with Haymon AND Arum. So who are their fighters going to face?
