    good job cotto mayorga is a **** fight arum is just talking hbo have more money so he will back soon

    Can't Ricardo Mayorga just **** off and die already, preferably in a sewage treatment plant with the rest of the feces where he belongs? There's nothing weaker than seeing some crap fighter like him score one high profile fight and payday after another solely because he sparks a bit of interest by behaving like an immature little idiot with a big ****ing mouth. That shtick got old seven years ago.

    Shame on you, Miguel, for resuscitating this shitbird's career again. Terrible fight.

    Now that's something positive from HBO. Enough with the Top Rank Only bull**** and enough buying useless, one-sided massacres!

    Bob Arum said "I know what the fans want and they can go **** themselves" - well you can go **** yourself now *******!

    It had to be regular HBO since Arum was asking them for 1.5 million, because when a fight goes to HBO-PPV, HBO doesn't pay a license fee.

    HBO has been singing the same song for as long as I can remember, so this is nothing new. They have a history of balking at quality fights such as Taylor-Froch and Abraham-Johnson (at times when these were very significant matches), only to turn around and put on less compelling matches. So why should anyone believe them this time? It seems like at the start of ever year Ross Greenburg gives an annual "we're not overpaying for fights" interview, only to have things remain completely the same.

    The day HBO takes a hard-line stance all across the board, and stops showing favoritism to certain fighters and promoters, trust me, I'll be amongst the first to applaud them. But I honestly (and sadly) can't see that happening anytime soon.

    Just guessing here, but the first Holyfield-Tyson fight was on Showtime PPV if I remember correctly...if it's not the highest non-HBO PPV of all time, it's got to be close.

    From Palin getting framed to Pac’s Money Mays, the blame flaming through the airwaves are the canaries of the keyboard bunkers of hate. When the lord of the air puts forth his fiery fate, a good flock will navigate with telekinetic breastplates and innate helmets of faith but the dark flock will loose its way for a selfish supremacy and a temporary gain. A scent of death and disdain is all that remains ingrained in the zombie's brains; all the more intense when a bird of righteousness comes to light their way. Birds of a feather oft flock together but many a straggler will become a bird of prey against whomever’s blood drifts their way; like Sodom and Gomorrah addicted to ****.
     
  8. Your a weird guy, like one of those homeless people thats yelling at cars that drive by shouting of religious rants.

    The homeless guy and the weirdo on the outside are not only often street wise but can better see whats happening inside
     
  10. I another town where I lived there was a man who killed his mother and flayed her skin, he made a coat out of it and was rearranging traffic while shouting of biblical texts. I guess he had good inside vision as well.

    See, I told you


    From Palin getting framed to Pac’s Money Mays, the blame flaming through the airwaves are the canaries of the keyboard bunkers of hate.
