    After all the talk about exciting fights and hard hitters being top tier on HBO the number #1 slugger of 140-147 is being shun by both companies.
    What a way to treat a guy who gives his all for your ratings and entertainment. Still hate Al Haymon? Adrien Broner is still headlining. Robert Guerrero still headlines after a loss. HBO ****s all over Provo. What does Jim Lampley have to say about this?:huh

    HBO only has loyalty when it's a hypejob they've invested too much money to give up on. So they continue to invest their budget poorly into those fighters.

    Who knows, though. Maybe Provodnikov is demanding too much money. Seems opposite of what HBO's been pushing about their boxing programming the last couple years.

    Yeah, that's a disgusting way to treat a warrior like Provodnikov. But in the end, boxing is a business it sucks but what can you do.

    I am pretty sure that Provo is not demanding anything. He just wants a good opponent. The problem is that potential opponents like Rios want too much money to face Provo.

    HBO will not televise anymore Ruslan fights and Top Rank has pulled out 2 fights with Ruslan. Check box scene for more info.

    It doesn't say anything about HBO not wanting him, only Top Rank doesn't him to put any of their fighters in with him.

    This has nothing to do with HBO.It is Provo's management and Top Rank agreeing to disagree.

    HBO turned down the Rios vs Provodnikov fight. After the Lucas fight HBO no longer has faith in Ruslan. Warrior or not. I bet they would take Floyd back though so-called boring style and all.
