    I would assume so, I remember in the post fighter interview he was asked how does he feel about putting up a poor show for the crowd and he said something liek "I dont care. I got paid"

    He already got the Mayweather syndrome without accomplishing anything.

    It says a lot about him that so much is made of the Olympic medal it was a bronze for ****s sake he seems to think that alone makes him a draw.

    I read elswhere that Gary Shaw were grooming HBO to take Dirrell on but his negative fighting put them right off.

    I dont know why you'd say he'd be banned from HBO, wouldnt they just not want to show his fights.

    Listen to the whole commentry of the fight.

    Larry Merchant - "sometimes you Lose even by winning"

    & througout the fight there was negative boxing, negative commentating & a whole lotta BOOOOOOO'S from the crowd.

    to make matters worse..Dirrell rubbing it in & shouting after the fight " i dont care...I GOT PAID!!! " in responce to his hugging running surviving boring style & the crowd booo'ing....which mustve pissed off HBO even more as he has no remorse of his scared to death survival boxing style & being BORING.

    That sort of fighting catches up with you eventually. What a waste of some serious talent.

    Watchin Dirrell fight has made me change my opinion on Mayweather, I mean I used to think Mayweather was a ***** but at least he fights in the pocket and never misses an opportunity to counter. Dirrell makes Mayweather look like a titan and thats saying something, I can't remember the last time a supposed 'top class' fighter ran so much!

    Couldn't agree more. Andre Ruiz-Bolt could have won that fight but he bottled it big time
