Between this and HBO shooting down his tune up, Andre Ward might be headlining an FS1 card by the time this is all over.

Death throes??? lol. I guess if you call cutting off a hangnail a amputation sure.

Sounds like they didn't mix well & parted ways. No harm no foul. RocNation will either find someone who'll fit with them better or they think they can do it on their own. We'll see. Gary will go back to doing Gary.

They have two more shows for Fox Sports to do, one fighter under contract who wants millions to fight a can, and they apparently just fired J Prince's lawyer that made the deal w/Gary Shaw in the first place per Steve Kim. It sounds like a disaster. But yeah, they'll just, uhhh, merge with Acquinity Sports or Banner.

I mean as far as splits go it seems like whatever to me. Better to do it now than a year down the line.

Who gives a f#ck about J Prince's lawyer? Well besides Prince

RocNation is just starting out. Personally I think they've been kinda sorta amateur hour-ish til the Andre Ward thing with all the weird trolling of Al Haymon's guys thats proved to be a complete waste of time. So even if they do fail who really gives a damn, they ain't did sh!t yet, but I'd still say they haven't invested enough into anything to even be "near death". They basically got one guy & some cats anyone could sign.

Sh!t man how many promoters have gotten 3 fight TV deals out the gate? And they got that before Gary was involved. They got a long way to go before the hearse is getting warmed up. If we wanna talk cats in death throes there is another rapper turned promoter that might wanna consider getting the cremation package cuz he's done almost f#ck all in a couple years as a promoter.

You know Prince is Ward's manager, right? Kim also says Fried put the deal together. So he went from a solid promoter with a track record in Goosen to, uhhh, SMS Part 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Oh, 50's done in the boxing game. Funny how Andre Dirrell re-signed with Al Haymon after those wasted years with Curtis how his brain started functioning perfectly well again and he got a bunch of fights in short order.

And You keep mentioning this like it means anything. People get fired every day. So what. Who gives a f#ck if RocNation fired Prince's lawyer. As long as Prince's lawyer didn't get fired by Prince I bet he really don't care all that much either.

they should have never entered boxing at first place and than deciding to make a 40 million deal with arguably the most boring boxer on earth was also a bad move.
