Ward and whoever owns Goosen now just weren't going to work together again without it involving large amounts in lawyer fees for both parties before any kind of resolution. That was an opportunity for this rap person to move in and offer goosen a big chunk of money to buy out Ward's contract -- it's about making a splash and Ward is the biggest name they can get. They were willing to pay a couple of million for a Quillin fight just to make a splash so to get Ward they no doubt offered the Goosen people a satisfactory amount.
Now they've got Ward and apparently Rigo eventually. Two guys who can't sell tickets or move the needle on the TV ratings dial. In Rigo's case HBO don't even want to show him again. And Top Rank/Fishnets/Haymon will be as willing to make fights with this rapper as they were with the previous rapper who signed Gamboa and -- yeah, who else did he sign. Billy Dib? Kirkland? Their careers have all done amazingly well, haven't they?
So they've got fighters nobody really wants to show or buy a ticket to watch and a bunch of other promoters who will conspire to strangle them in their crib. Good luck.
