    I think that was reasonable considering they bought one of Berto's recent fight for over 1 mil.

    and JML, Donaire, Chavez Jr..... Should Bob be rattling his sabres against HBO???

    It'd be funny if Cotto / Martirosyan changed the sports' history. I just don't see it happening.

    Anyone know if Arum wanted Cotto-Martirosyan on HBO PPV or regular HBO?

    I would think not....I don't think HBO still pays the promoter/fighter fighting on their PPV?

    Maybe emmanuel would leave TR if staying meant no longer being on HBO

    HBO still has more reach than Showtime.....I don't think Bob is that foolish to have anybody else distribute Pac's PPV.



    Anybody know what's the highest PPV buy that wasn't distributed by HBO???

    Arum takes potshots at HBO every other time he opens his trap. He's getting dicked now? Shocker. Good thing Arum doesn't give a **** about his fighters or any of his people. How it affects them is nothing he'll worry about.

    Arum wanted an in-house fight (Cotto-Martirosyan) first for just over what HBO paid on one of Berto's recent fight.....HBO rejected it.

    Now, he's going to make Cotto-Mayorga.
