    Go out and ask people who hasnt have HBO for a long time and ask about mosley. I talked to a lot and a lot never knew about Mosley being beaten by Floyd, Either they thought Mosley was retired or just beat DLH. Dont even ask if they knew Berto, Alexander, bradley or Khan. They have no clue who d hell they are.

    I will bet it will draw less viewers than when Kimbo Slice was on CBS for Showtime. The American public will get yet another taste of why boxing isn't appealing anymore. This is a lame fight between a grandpa and a guy in his prime. It's a joke.

    Hopefully this doesn't happen just so boxing looks good, and maybe Pac struggles a bit and people enjoy the fight with some pop corn or something while yelling at the TV like boxing should be LOL

    How about some grandpa who almost Knocked Out your boyfriend Floyd in round two? Are you afraid Congressmanny's gonna knock him out this time around? :lol:

    And how about a singer, an actor, a show-host, an ad model, and now a neophyte congressman still learning the ropes? You think he is in his prime?

    I'd say get your boyfriend to end his vacation before you even think of posting sheet on my thread. :good

    Yeah I am sure people like you clamored for a Humberto Sotto or Joan Guzman to fight Pacquiao when he was about to meet Oscar De La Hoya. :lol:

    Look where Pacquiao is now because of that fight. Oh well but haters will always be haters. :lol:

    If the stats are true, Manny’s going to add more fans in there at CBS…115 million homes for the network against 28.6 million for HBO…Manny’s changing the landscape to a bigger and better worldwide appeal…

    Though the fight will be shown at SHOWTIME, a division of CBS with only 16.5 million subscribers, it is perceived that all the shortcomings SHOWTIME will commit, will be filled up by its mother network…So it will be a collaboration of both companies…

    I just cannot imagine how HBO played tricks on Bob Arum who happens to have the biggest commodity out there…In business, you can’t do that…HBO is known more on boxing today than movies and I think it is now their primary source of revenue…They let slip an opportunity irreplaceable in the next three years (Pacquiao’s remaining fighting years) and that is tantamount to hundreds of millions in revenues and loss of immediate viewership…

    HBO has created its own ghost…It’s SHOWTIME/CBS…

    Ask Hauser.

    What's the take of HBO in all of these? Any links airing their side?

    All of Floyd's boyfriends are in the Phillipines. Everyone knows where gays come from. Just watch Family Guy silly boy.

    That's why I rarely reply to Joyboys. :good

    They post without reading the article first. Maybe they don't even know who the very reputable Thomas Hauser in boxingscribe world is :lol:
