    List of Pac victims since 2008

    Marquez
    Diaz
    Dlh
    Hatton
    Cotto
    CLottey
    Margo
    KErry Davis
    Ross Greenburg

    Greenburg is definitely the biggest name in his resume, this alone should propel him to ATG top ten rankings already.

    There' a strong connection between HBO and Golden Boy.(secret contract)

    HBO always favors Golden Boy over Top Rank when scheduling fight dates.

    Top Rank gets a hard time scheduling a fight it wants.

    When Golden Boy's cash cow Floyd chickened out against Pacquiao,

    Greenburg steps in to solve the problem, but ended up fruitless.

    HBO lose a big chunk of $$$ because of this flop.

    HBO had no choice but to replace Greenburg.

    wasn't that he thought Pacquiao wasn't worth it...HBO dissed Cotto (and, thus, Arum) so Bob took his business elsewhere.

    Either way, bad move by HBO - especially since Cotto-Mayorga turned out to be a hell of a fight.

    Well of course, when looking back.

    At the time, you'd be a damn fool if you thought that was worthy of HBO buying.

    In terms of competetiveness and worthiness, Pacquiao vs. Mosley IS NOT a good fight. So, HBO gets mad **** for buying mismatches, yet they get the most **** when they don't buy one of the bigger mismatches.

    The future of HBO boxing will be interesting...

    I hope not too much changes for the worse anyway.

    :lol::lol: I'm not surprised this story came from Hauser and I'm not surprised he's had to retract it. I wonder if this will just inspire him write even more obsessive and whiny articles about Greenburg and HBO.

    HBO thought boxing revolved around them.
