    Makes sense, HBO has been dreadful since he got there, they lost big deals with Haymon and Mayweather, lost out on Canelo vs Floyd, had to settle for half of Pac vs. Mayweather when they spent years hyping the fight, they havent had a successful PPV is several years, and the GGG vs. Lemueix PPV did awful numbers.

    Hopefully HBO can help repair its image and lost business relationships under the new regime.

    Time to start fresh. Time to call Haymon. He has the stable with the star power. Adrien Broner will save HBO BAD.

    I think Hershman's done well...HBO has pretty much every p4p/ppv fighter in the sport.

    HWT: Wlad
    200: ...Not really anyone special
    175: Kovalev
    168: Ward
    160: GGG
    154: Alvarez and Cotto
    147: Pacquiao
    140: Crawford
    135:....Not really anyone special
    130:....Not really anyone special
    126: Lomachenko
    122:....Rigondeaux doesn't fight so not really anyone special
    118:...Not really anyone special
    115: Inoue doesn't really fight...
    112: Gonzalez

    Inoue has been injured but sounds like he'll be on HBO in the US to pursue the Gonzalez bout

    HBO needs to invest into cruiserweight division, usually good action.
    Haven't they seen Glowacki-Huck?

    :deal Leaving out the Ryabinsky fighters, Usyk, Makabu, Briedis, Dorticos, Gassiev, Ramirez, Durodola would be a fresh air for them.

    HBO is more driven by action at a reasonable price then ever.

    Most of the top Cruiserweights don't fit HBO's ideal targeted demographics, but with the depth and low prices, I'd be surprised if they didn't start targeting the division.
