Top selling fight in history without Arum = Being pimped out Bob couldn't control his hoes until he found putos like Cotto/Pac and Margacheato
Ya, I would assume HBO will be frantically scrambling to build up some people over the next few years.
Floyd Definitely hates Bob, doesn't want to make him any money. Probably the #1 reason Mayweather vs Pacquiao didn't happen ahead of other bs factors.
Hbo was Obviously but hurt over showtime signing Mayweather, but why take it out on the entire golden boy lineup?
You really think Bob gives a **** the man has made his money and continues to do so when its all over for Floyd, when he is done fighting, when the money is gone Bobs legacy will continue to move forward. Bobs net worth is more than Floyds I doubt he is losing sleep. I think so
Man I just subscribed to Showtime so that **** worked. **** em lol. Now HBO and SHO have my money. It is what it is. If you're a true boxing fan you really have no other option but to subscribe to both. Now ready for the awesome fights that await.
True, I've always had both so I watch all the fights anyway. It kills any notion or real chance that cross promotion fights between GB n Top rank will happen. The real losers are us fans.
quiet fool they have worked many times since then... when pac tore threw oscars entire stable HBO ditched golden boy cause he fed us a load of bull**** berto fights , all inhouse fights and not competitive fights and another guy beats berto then gets an undeserved floyd mismatch look at the crap with alvarez they served up while martinez beat chavez look at donaire rigo this weekend, we dont get that from oscar the only good top level fight they have this year is alvarez trout and they really tried to stop that HBO is now buying fights, and not giving one promotor free dates to fill with cans this guarantees quality
Pretty poor and bias post. Matthysse vs Peterson isn't a top level fight? :blood (not to mention winner fights Garcia, another top level fight guaranteed) Mares vs Ponce isn't a top level fight? :blood Alexander vs Brook isn't a top level fight? :blood And HBO ditching GBP aint got **** to do with what fights GBP puts together. Has to do with GBP catering to showtime. GBP has put on some of the best fights in the past few years atsch You sound like some Top Rank shrill. Ortiz vs Berto Khan vs Maidana Khan vs Garcia Mares vs Moreno Matthysse vs Alexander Hopkins vs Dawson Vanes vs Lara Kirkland vs Angulo the list goes on and on.... all quality fights from GBP in the last few years. Do they put out **** fights sometimes? Ya, just like every other single promoter. And HBO themselves has a looooonnng history of being a catalyst for bull**** fights and not making the best fights available happen.
Good post. I've heard comments from Schaefer that lead me to believe that he realizes that GBP needs HBO. I believe they'll be back on the network eventually. The GBP/Top Rank fued will end when Arum is dead or steps down.
