    HBO has alot of fights lined up which is good for them. nothing will compare to the event last saturday so they missed out. They got to get Top Rank to make the best matches. Donaire vs Vic is wack. Chavez jr vs another cupcake. not giving Ward or Rigondeax a fights is straight BS

    Yeah they are finishing the year strong. Which is great. But yeah. Donaire vs. Vic is weak, and so is Chavez vs. Vera. But better than nothing.

    Your welcome :thumbsup

    Yeah HBO sure has the better fights.
    Quillin vs. Rosado is not good. Hopkins vs. Murat is ok. But not that good.
    And Broner on PPV is just bad.

    That's odd. I heard as recently as last week that Guerrero turned down the fight against Thurman.

    Anyway, I hope it happens.

    Gonzalez said Mares has asked for a rematch on that card. 3 evenly matched, relevant fights with good style matchups is a nice card.

    Yeah but still, not PPV worthy. If it would be on regular Showtime it would be huge.

    Yeah but he is a debut. Just like Zou. Vasyl dont mean sh1t in boxing YET.
    He could be good, but let him build himself up first. Dude hasnt even had a pro fight yet.
    Not fair to other guys.

    He's fighting Jose Ramirez. Not bad for his first time out.
    So now talking about one fighter is not fair to another fighter? How about you watch who you want, and I'll watch who I want. Is that fair enough for you and those "other guys"?
    You really think he's just like Zou?:rofl

    That is not what I meant.

    Vasyl dosent even have a pro fight. You cant expect that he will be on TV or even mentioned in this thread.

    In the pro game, he is nobody

    This is why I always feel it's a little ridiculous to claim HBO's boxing is dying or dead. They still have a good amount of top-quality fighters they can showcase, and while they don't have the luxury of having basically all of the fighters in a certain couple of divisions to showcase repeatedly, it's not like HBO has nothing to show.
