I find it wonderful that boxing which anseres to no one allows all money men into boxing. That is so thoughtful of other boxing promoters. They keep such an open mind when it comes to new money showing up at their door. They (new promoters) made no brazen promises really other then talking about going around the world to get fighters. Nothing specific. If i missed someting specific someone will point it out. Promoters are a lot like fighters they show up talk it up and then if they have anything to offer they give the fans something to get hyped up about, be it a fight a new face in the ring whatever. High prices low level fighters on PPV cards being pushed by promoters who present themselves as promoters and those that pretend to be just commentators are the real problem not some press realease to test the waters. Drugs being used by fighters and protected by lying promoters full of greed these are poison to boxing not some new group of money men. Manipulating fans into believing that some part of boxing such as a PPV event or any boxing event is so damn important when it is so much of nothing then repeating the lie is what is dangerous to boxing. Boxing is never held to any standard at all. The only truth to boxing is the man in the ring. He carries boxing he gets the fans fired up not the money men or promoters. Who controls boxing ? The fans control boxing they just have not realized there power or chose to use that power as of yet.

Let any promoter show up and put on good solid fights fights that lead to more fights and they will be welcome. Give the fights at a decent price, make boxing and fighters more available to all fans. Do some of these simple things and the fans will support it. Recongnize that fans are as important as the money men. Because see fight fans are the money men in boxing. Without our money our eyes on the fights there would be no fights or fighters in the ring. Fight fans are what taxes are to politicians we pay our taxes and they act like it is their money but it is not it is ours. Same with boxing promoters they pretend they are driving boxing but no the fan drives boxing.

Too many Pay-Per-Views, expensive with not great marquee names.It will be interesting if Haymon will hook up with Amazon.

With out context, I’d guess that this is the pitch to a useless tech start-up

I really want to see whom they line up in terms of sponsors. “Well, we couldn’t get a deal with Tecate or Corona, but FourLoko is all in!”

One can just imagine those responsible ( no doubt several people ) drafting that cascade of drivel. ..and thinking it's gonna impress... when in reality, it's plain embarrassing. Check out their YouTube account for yet more laughter.

Blah! Cliche visions and mission statements. Don't tell us what you're going to do - show us!!

That (short) list just tells us how quick things can come and go!

Some notable come-and-go promoters I also remember was 50 cent & some person from 'Jersey Shore'.
