    I mean during the first episode it seemed like they were using the Mosley-Mayweather 24/7 to not only hype the Mosley-Mayweather fight, but also slightley hyping a potential future Pac-May fight, Are HBO relying on Mayweather to beat Mosley as if they will they will have failed to hype a future Pac-Mosley fight.I think if they are going to try and hype a future fight with Pac, they need to do it with both these fighters instead of only May even though Pac-May is obviously the much bigger fight, there is a real chance that Mosley will win and then Pac-Mosley will not get the hype and respect it would deserve with the casual fan due to the poor early hype that HBO needs to give.

    Pac vs. either one will make big money for HBO.

    Pac vs. PBF will make bigger money for HBO than a Pac vs. Mosley.

    I know this but what happens if Mosley beats Mayweather, HBO needs to be creating hype for a potential Pac-Mosley fight in case Mosley beats Mayweather,which is a big possibility.

    OP you're right.

    They've probably got the FMJ and MP fight scheduled already. Notice how Floyd was complaining to his adviser about Shane coming into the ring after the JMM fight. It's all planned out, baby!

    What IF Pac wont fight on HBO ...?

    I would SO love that ****.
    Cause Pac vs either of them can stand alone without them. Texas stadium but to full capacity w/ PPV

    HBO already know who's going to win. They've even seen the completed scorecards...

    Why would anybody do that?

    Everybody knows HBO is in bed with Al Haymon, and also with Golden Boy anyway. That's why most of the cards are shitty. Think Guzman deserves a single fight on HBO after all the weight scams he pulled off?

    But nobody would spite HBO out of principle. It just ain't happenin'.
