    Gary Shaw calling on HBO to stop helping the two leagues and also the Media to put pressure on Top Rank and Goldenboy to stop ''infighting'' and start letting there fighters fight outside promotions fighters.

    Kellerman also had his say last night when talking about Amir Khan ''He's protected by his promoters GoldenBoy'' Then launched an attack after his interview with Bradley stating that the two promotional companies are to happy to give us Pacquiao-Clottey type match ups to keep the business in house and depriving the fans and sport of the big fights we deserve.
    We also seen recently HBO tell the Klits they won't be shown on there channel unless they fight certain opponents.

    What do you think??? All talk from motor mouth Shaw?? or words from heart?.
    He says he's going to a meeting with HBO next week about this issue. Wait and see..

    He's on the outside looking in and doesn't like it. If you were HBO would show a Klit fight? I watched the last one for free and ended up switching over to Prizefighter.

    most people watched prizefighter (myself included) says it all really. Refuse to watch the Brothers fight now.

    you tell him that and he say he was forced to because no one wanted fight with Bradley. Then you get people say well Alexander did. It's like a merry go round.

    HBO won't say anything against GBP.

    They were going to put Mosley vs Mayorga and Mosley vs Mora on PPV - if that isn't **** sucking of the highest order then I don't know what is.

    GBP have HBO by the balls
    Top Rank make in-house matches

    Everyone else has to feed off the scraps. HBO should get Lou DiBella back, at least he knows boxing and is generally considered a fair sort of bloke.

    People would take him more seriously if he wasn't in a perpetual state of anger. Boxing has been in a state of flux this year, mostly caused by the absurd Pacquiao-Mayweather situation. Them getting their fight out of the way this year would have freed a lot of things up - with them both perhaps retiring. The Khan situation I'm prepared to reserve judgement on until after his next fight has been announced.

    Shaw needs to shut up and put Bradley in with Alexander. That would not be an infight.

    The truth is we don't know what is offered and what isn't. It's like people saying Leonard ducked Pryor.
