Jay-Z, on the other hand, dove into the deep of the boxing pool right away. He hired two big guys to run Roc Nation and I have to believe his company is going to be heard from in a very positive and competitive light.
I am curious to see how Golden Boy, Top Rank, Mayweather Promotions and others handle the fast-charging Roc Nation promotions.
