Not surprising. They've blown it. They have more free resources than any other promotion company and they never took advantage of it. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rhianna, and many other musicians and athletes under the Roc Nation banner and you've never seen them promoting boxing. But at every boxing match from Roc Nation we have to sit through a ****ty music performance.

Word on the curb is that Dave Itskowitch is headed to Ringstar Sports (Richard Schaefer). Makes $ense. And Schaefer is recruiting talent.

If they didn't make him sign a non-compete they're more incompetent than I thought they were.

Roc Nation smart to only sign 3 big names and then like 3 other people... not investing in other boxers and blowing all their cash on big names that aren't really yielding anything for them.
Kov/Ward will save them... or maybe Cotto

RagingBabe Would've happened two years ago if it wasn't for those meddling lawsuits!

Looks like Schaefer is getting the band back together.

Wow, wow, wow.

Schafer is rolling forward.
