Damon Dash helped Jay-Z coming up they had nothing to do with Violator; hell Steve Stout never got Nas rich either. Lighty helped 50 I will say that. The same as Haymon and Floyd it takes both of them for it to work.
Dame bought Jay out of his contract with relativity records, and started the clothing line...Chris Lighty brokered the rocafella record deal. He did the same for Murda Inc and for G-Unit. Chris lighty is responsible for 50's ties with vitamin water, and he was negotiating SK before his death. Steve Stout never got nas rich? Nas was an introvert musician more than half of his career who didn't enjoy touring, and yet Nas in court documents has monthly expenses bordering on a hundred k a month before child support, not sure what non rich person has those kinds of expenses. Funny though how Nas has been living in a 15 million dollar mansion in L.A. well over 10 years now though. Also people really need to stop reading forbes entertainer money lists because it's not accurate, reach out to the writer who posts it at forbes and let him tell you how he gets these numbers, bet you never read that list ever again. The only numbers forbes can put up outright is that for CEO's of publicly traded companies because it's publicly available because of laws of disclosure for investors and also part of the prospectus potential investors get to revise before investing to understand expenses vs profits. Oh and it was Chris Lighty who turned LL's entire career around after 1996's peak and ensuing fall from grace as a musician.
Someone needs to be at the top of the pile, and set the barometer for most career earnings, who are boxers going to aspire to? Damn getting to 48-0 is pretty impressive, I hope he doesn't blow it like a lot NBA players do, actually I don't give a sh**, it's been fun watching his fights.
I guess to the Floyd huggers if you are not bowing his every move you are hating. Ill admit I had some salty words towards him but the salty words have nothing to do with him as a fighter. I think the guy is a hell of a fighter and one of the best if not the best of this era. I just think he is a classless and has no integrity. But I guess that stems from him having daddy issues and insecurity issues.
I don't hate on him at all, I think he's a significant fighter - especially in his younger days at Super Featherweight and of course, one of my favorite fights of all time was Mayweather v. Gatti, an outstanding performance and what you call a perfect boxing class.
I just find it disrespectful how he disses the greats such as Ali and SRR, especially Ali who has a sickness. And how he brags how hes the best ever when he didn't fight top competition at their peak (he waited Pacquiao to exploit himself before he took the fight amirite?) 6 years for this fight we waited to happen, (in b4 bob arum etc.)
Now I was watching a W. Klitschko interview, an interviewer questioned Wladimir, IF we were to rate you amongst the greats, where do you think you stand? Klitschko's humble response was: It's not my job to rate myself in rank and legacy, that's your job. My job is to get into the ring and entertain you guys, you guys decide where you put me.
