Random news for the #SOGGang brehs: I got clarification about the Andre Ward/BET card. I was pretty sure about this beforehand, but I confirmed that Roc Nation Sports didn't do a time buy with BET. They were given the time by BET, for free, and they will be able to raise their own ad revenue and book their own commercials for the fight. So this isn't an Al Haymon infommercial, paying for TV time situation. This is a BET will do anything to do business with Jay Z situation. It might not be big news, but it ensures they'll make a profit and they can offset paying Ward with some huge sponsorship $. And their viability is important for Ward's career, so I figured it mattered enough to post.
I can see why BET would want to be in the Jay-Z business. Being cool with Jay gives them an opening to do business with Beyonce and Rihanna.
