Just a heads up that there is a world championship fight tonight on ESPN. I like the way that ESPN seems to be improving the quality of its cards. DVR users should add 30 minutes of program time to compensate for the basketball game before the fight.

A lot of hate for SMS promotions. Atleast give the guy a few years before we call it a bust.

Here is the problem with 50 and his SMS promotions, he shitted on a lot of people to be promoting two fighters and out of those two one really just has a big name, Yurkois Gamboa. I like Gamboa I do, I just think he has made some terrible business decisions. 50 acts like he has been around boxing since birth. He only came into boxing by being May's belt boy and let's be honest he wants to be in front of the camera, he wants to be seen. Hell he even tried to get in the way between Floyd Sr and Jr. But the moment Jr. asked for his dad's help Sr. was out the door. You don't shit on people when you are starting to come up, you don't. By all accounts Gamboa was May's fighter and would of been signed to the money team if 50 didn't lie about his business venture with Floyd. And it still makes me wonder why would he sign all these fighters while Mayweather is locked up? Anyway I thought it was a good win for the Russian, Garcia is turning out to be a great trainer.

He came into this promoting venture by hanging with Floyd. I don't think he'll admit it though. I was listening to his interview on FNF last night and he had to catch himself when the guy asked him how he got involved with boxing promotions, I could tell he was going to mention Floyd's name but he didn't let it slip. He was by many accounts a good amateur boxer though, so I'm not going to act like he didn't know shit about boxing before Floyd.....They both gained alot of notoriety by associating with one another, it's a fair trade in the end
