    Ahh...viewers. Missed that. But I must say, that's just a guesstimate. SOmething we don't even get unless one looks up Nielson ratings.

    But if it was PPV, yes, it would be easy, as long as DLH/May/Pac were the A Side to the Mexican B Side.

    Why do you guys keep referencing the subscription number?
    You don't have to subscribe to HBO or SHO to buy their PPV.

    It would be a regular HBO broadcast not a PPV. Like the situation on March 12th with Segio Martinez on HBO and Miguel Cotto on SHO-PPV.

    The weekend of Abraham Froch/Marquez Katsidas etc, was awesome and I like having the variety, thought it was awesome weekend.

    It would definetly be a Marquez fight, **** they might even throw Morales in the undercard to get all the Mexicans to order it, forgot about Carnelo! if he is on the card with Marquez its a big card.

    Well if Fernando Vargas could get in shape they could set up him against Tito Trinidad and have Berto vs Marquez right before them. Have Foreman, Jones and Lampley commentate. They could stack a few more Hispanic fighters on the under cards as well. LMAO!!

    I don't think it's a matter of "Who do you want to see opposing Pac vs. Shane" as much as it is a matter of "Should HBO go against the biggest fight of the year?" for the sake of getting back at a promoter and boxer they will most likley work woith again?

    HBO would have to pay big to make a great fight on that smae night. And it's the return they would be gambling on. If you put on a great card to oppose the years biggest fight, and it gets low ratings (expected), then what was the whole point? :huh

    HBO is in the business of making money, not getting revenge that could just cpost a boat load of money. They don't seem to hold grudges, so I doubt they aer bitter about losing TR and Pac for now.

    I seriously doubt they would be crazy enough to put on any show. Everyone was bitching about pac cheato and it did well over a million buys, now with cbs stepping up to the plate it's gonna crush anything hbo could possibly do. All boxing fans will be watching pac and mosley either at a bar, at home, or an illegal steam. If it aint' floyd on their counter punch, they would loose too much money, greenburgs ass is already on the hot seat, I don't know if wasting more money and pissing of arum even more is gonna help his job security.

    So you fail to understand reading comprehension?

    I said post a fight you would like to see. It is apparent you are butt hurt over something. You should just close out of the thread if you can't answer the question. Funny thing is I don't remember ever having any communication with you in the past. Why is this bothering you so much?

    Dude, not everyone wants a competeing card that night nor do all think it's a good idea.

    You are getting reamed by his reasoning BTW. He's made good points, and you just keep coming back asking which fight. :huh

    I asked once already, do you WANT a competing card? :huh

    I don't really care enough about that to get in to it. All I will say is that Hauser brought it up in the article for a reason. And I just brought the Idea to the forum. HBO has countered Showtime many times. A HBO WCB card could do no worse then when they put B-Hop in a competitng PPV against Cotto not even 2 hours away from MSG on PR parade weekend.
