Roc Nation is officially a joke. They dropped the ball the entire Canelo/Cotto promotions. Golden Boy basically did everything on their own. From not being able to fill 1 PPV undercard spot till days before the event while Golden Boy filled their ENTIRE undercard spots months prior. Then they fill it horribly with Rigo who stank up the joint. Then they can't get Ward any fights all year long. They paid Cotto that crazy contract so they operated at a loss to pay him his bonus money then he gets beat so no way they recouping that money now. Now HBO gives them a card for Harrison and they F that up too. Not to mention the Gary Shaw merger that lasted only a few weeks with Shaw saying these idiots don't know what they doing and quitting and taking all his fighters back nixing the merger. Sorry but Roc Nation looks way over their head and like rank amateurs

How the hell does the visa issue not come up until the week of the fight? Did something happen between the time he took the fight and this week? Visa issues should be cleared before you even announce the fight. RNS is little league. And I heard Golden Boy is about to sue them over the Cotto/WBC fiasco. I've been saying it since Gary Shaw left them, Roc Nation is out here doing bad business.

Feel bad for Dusty Harrison, he's stuck with bad promoters.

[bigdunny1]

Cotto has been promoting basically by himself all year. Roc Nation has done nothing. And you can add the WBC drama the week of the fight. Any other major promotion company finds a way to handle that so their fighter isn't embarrassing the fight by getting stripped days before. At every level they look like bumbling fools. Forgot to add the Boo Boo drama which they are being sued over because they tried to steal him away from his promoters and then bribe him to turn down a Haymon fight. Ward signing with them was supposed to get him more active yet he only fought once all year on frigging BET. Ward just wasted an entire year of his prime with these idiots.

Roc Nation has gotten Ward a deal with HBO, 900K in PPV at 75-25 split their favor, and this guy dusty, that I don't know, has a shoe deal. Can't be all that bad of a promoter when some of the guys here had wet panties about Golovkin doing an Apple commercial and only getting 97K in PPV.

Ward got himself the HBO deal so did cotto. Both were fighting on HBO before their roc deal. Ward is HBO family who is hired to call fights. Cotto has fought the majority of his career on HBO and won the middleweight title on hbo. They could og gotten fights in HBO with literally any promoter.

And the canelo and golden boy doing the heavy lifting is why the ppv was successful. Everything bad about the ppv was because roc nation put their hands on it. The concert that fans killed on social media and the rigo fight that put everyone to sleep. The rest of the fights on the undercard including vargas fight of the year that woke everyone up was all golden boy. I give roc nation credit for none of that ppv. It was successful despite roc nation not because of Roc nation.

And it wasnt a 75/25 split in their favor. Cotto pocketed money out of roc nations end. Because the dumb contract they gave him and all these bonuses reportedly over 5mil signing bonus alone that's why cotto got 15 mil. Almost half of that is bonus roc nation paid out on their own end meaning they operated at a loss just to pay cotto. Dumb contract. Great for cotto. Cotto, canelo, golden boy, hbo all made money that ppv. Roc nation gave the money they would of made to cotto.

They over paid with that contract to sign him away from top rank. Now cotto lost and has one more fight on his deal and it's basically impossible to recoup the money they gave cotto. They hoped we over pay get cotto it makes us relevant he beats canelo and we go after mayweather and make our money back. So much for that now.
