They are both different. A promise deliver a value at some point in the future to multiple callback couple. The data you give when creating the promise is the one delivered in the future. The one you pass with your couple of callbacks is obviously tied to that couple of callback. They are clearly 2 different things. Obviously you don't need to pass any data at all in both case.
