I love Boxing. Not as much as I love
hip hop but I do love boxing. I love the training and the
philosophy that comes with boxing. It is one of the most
competitive sport in the world. With Boxers Like Floyd Mayweather
Earning $45 million plus his share in PPV revenue. I don’t think
this would have been possible with out Hip-Hop. I’m not taking any
credit from the man. He is a very hard worker and an incredible
athlete. What I learned most from Floyd Mayweather's situation is
that he is very intelligent when it comes to marketing his fights
and him self as a brand. Now How does hip hop fit into all of this?
Hip hop has strong roots in boxing from the Mike Tyson era. Like
Basketball you can find pro Boxers that hangout with Popular
rappers. When LL cool J battled Canibus it was Mike Tyson that
featured and supported Canibus to come back with the second "round
knockout" track.
Floyd Mayweathers TMT(the Money
team) is very popular in hip hop due to his friendship with 50cent.
In his latest fight this weekend against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, he
entered the ring with Rap artist Lil Wayne and R&B singer
Justin Bieber.(Who is the most researched person on the Web). The
Boxing Industry and the Rap Industry have gone hand and hand in
some of the most historical events in both industries. It give us
inspiration to see A man like Oscar DeLahoya come from fighter to
promoter. Just like it inspiring to watch a rapper like 50cent come
from the slums rapper and now owner of his own record label,
clothing line and now he is a boxing promoter. we even have Rapping
Boxers like Adrien Broner who is a force to be reckoned with in the
ring...and has a Drill sounding Trap song with Soulja Boy.
Boxing and Hip hop ..One thing I know we have alot to look forward
to in booth Industries.
