This is an awesome card, I've been looking forward to this since they added Alexander and Jacobs. This is star studded card, its great that jay z likes boxing and got this event going to promote his new venue in this growing market.

Hey man. Jay Z most definitely does not own the place. Jay Z's a minority owner in the Brookly Nets venture and as a result was probably allowed to have a relatively small holdings in the Barclays centre (and I don't mean minority 'cause he's African-American).
The real players in the Barclays Centre-Brooklyn Nets venture are a NY property developer (Bruce Ratner) and a Russian billionaire. I haven't checked if Ratner's company is public, but if so, you could probably find out the exact ownership percentages (same for the Nets, who are owned by the Russian guy). Given how much Russians like boxing, I'm willing to guess that he had a bigger part to play in having the card there than Jay Z.
