    HBO have already confirmed they won't be picking this up, for 2 reasons. They already have Ward/Kovalev for PPV that month and they're not happy with the choice of opponent, they were pushing for Crawford. HBO are not even willing to put it on non-PPV as they refuse to stump up the money required.

    Showtime haven't shown any willingness to take the fight on their network either.

    What options does Bob have left?

    One of my favorite Roy Jones moments was at the press conference for the Hopkins rematch and Hopkins was rambling on about how everyone needed to get the PPV because he was going to beat Jones so badly it would never be shown on TV again. Jones interjected that The Discovery Channel would probably pick it up to have Bighead Hopkins complement their Bigfoot programming

    Good. Pac needs to fade into obscurity, as a punishment for his gutless showing against Mayweather
