Freeway Rick Ross<\/a> has made plenty of pivots in his life, but now he\u2019s setting his sights on the fight game.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely! Well, I\u2019m already in it, you know? I\u2019m knee deep in entertainment,\u201d Ross said to sports journalist Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson<\/a> when asked about his latest moves. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing music since I\u2019ve been home\u2026 boxing now\u2026 I have eight guys right now under contract for boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n

That roster includes names like Raleek Vaughn from Queens, Shy Money from North Carolina, Jason Moreno from New Jersey, Xavier Washington from Dallas, Malachi Jones from Philly, Anthony Peterson, and Kid Austin, also known as Floyd Schofield. Ross is also helping Troy Nash, a Denver prospect, who he\u2019ll be traveling with to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

On the business side, Ross is splitting his ventures clean: \u201cThe boxing is under Team Freeway Boxing and the music business is Freeway Music Group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Music is still part of his grind. \u201cI\u2019m working on an album right now \u2014 we\u2019re working with new artists,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m going after artists that\u2019s hot in their city\u2026we\u2019re gonna put an album together.\u201d<\/p>\n

But boxing is where Ross sees the biggest opening. \u201cIt\u2019s the only sport where you can get a franchise with no money,\u201d he explained. When asked about Floyd Mayweather\u2019s legacy as a promoter, Ross didn\u2019t hold back: \u201cNot really. I don\u2019t think he did enough. He could\u2019ve done a lot more and I tried to tell him, but he didn\u2019t listen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ross is already expanding his reach online, launching a YouTube series called Rick Picks to spotlight independent artists. <\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s his vision for boxing that feels most ambitious. \u201cI stole the dope game. It wasn\u2019t given to me, I stole it!\u201d Ross said. \u201cI\u2019ma steal boxing too! Boxing is done. It\u2019s mine already; they don\u2019t know it yet!\u201d<\/p>\n

For Freeway Rick Ross, it\u2019s clear the next fight isn\u2019t in the ring\u2014it\u2019s in the boardroom, where he plans to build his empire one fighter at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Freeway Rick Ross has made plenty of pivots in his life, but now he\u2019s setting his sights on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":101549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-101548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
