    And he was saddened by the fact that no one from HBO attended the memorial service in Seattle in honor of his son, John.No one from HBO attended Arturo Gatti’s funeral in Montreal.

    thats just bad form

    I thought this sentence was of great interest:

    "Two other premium cable networks are currently in discussions with promoters about adding boxing to their programming. "

    That could be huge for boxing if it the right promoters/fights (I bet Golden Boy is one of them).
    Let's hope it's more than talk.

    I thought the talk of building boxing on terrestrial television was even bigger. Boxing can't survive on premium channels alone. You should have lower level fights on regular channels to broaden the interest in the sport, and then have the big match-ups on the premium channels.

    Pac will be retiring soon, it's a good thing that HBO lost manny time to give the younger stars the spotlight now.

    Why Berto? Berto is a protected fraud who is ducking Cintron. Berto is a joke, just like Duckweather and all other Haymon fighters who only fight set ups.

    Great article by Hauser. Schaefer Haymon and floyd have polluted boxing with their garbage for too long. Arum did the righ thting.

    Sky Sports in the UK never seems to pick up showtime events i hope this changes somehow.
