    We all know that right now a fight between a SHO fighter and an HBO fighter can't happen, so how can some fighters call out other fighters who are with another network cable ?!:think

    I mean its easy to call out a fighter whos with another network cable knowing that in reality that fight can't happen. Its a biatch move IMO !

    Same **** happens with the promoters and the cable networks. ex : GBP doesn't do businesses with HBO and TR doesn't do businesses with SHO. I think this is one big issue (next to the greed) that is ruining this sport !

    Its only been like this for 9 months and i doubt it goes on much longer. it will end this year and fighters have to push for it or if they dont HBO/Showtime will stay like that

    It'll probably take a number of purse bid fights to make it happen, but there are too many competing interests to let it stay that way forever.

    Either that or everybody signs with Golden boy, putting both Top Rank and HBO boxing out of business unless they play ball.

    I agree. It's a biatch move for Pacquiao to call out Mayweather.

    Any fighter not signed to Golden Boy or TR has choices.

    100% ***** move. pa ONLY ever mentions floyds name when he knows its impossible to make a fight. calls him out for a charity fight while TR is finishing up the final details of the bradley fight. and NO champ is fighting for free especially floyd AND paq..

    what happens when legit offers to paq are made from foyd ? ohhh now he wants MORE money to accept. he is the biggest chump of them all. yet so many of you are so gullible you buy into his BS/

    phukin pathetic

    Did you hear Bradley's interview on thaboxingvoice, he said if Mayweather is his own boss then he has the power to make the fights.

    GB started it when their lawyer took over Showtime boxing, they moved their prospects in Avlarez & Broner who HBO had been building to Showtime and then GB counter programmed against the Martinez-Chavez ppv.

    GB's home network is Showtime, Showtime is HBO's top competitor. The cold war will remain until Espinoza is no longer head of Showtime sports. Hershman said they are open to using GB fighters, but they will not buy promotions from GB.

    Why would you sign with GBP when the money is with TR and HBO. Some boxers should wake up.
