    HBO. Bob arum is a stone cold businessman. He knows what he's doing.

    Obviously HBO. They need to take a look at what they **** they've been doing the past several years and stop repeating it.

    If this works out with SHO/CBS, this can potentially be huge for boxing and especially the boxers. Props to SHO/CBS for thinking outside the box.

    Bob Arum's other fighters gets hurt more, but Pacquiao is his own brand, he'll be successful wherever he goes.

    HBO on the shorterm (not having Pac and Cotto)

    Arum in the long run (once Pac and Cotto retire, hes stuck on Showtime, while Goldenboy will fill the void he left at HBO)

    Neither. The sport isn't about a couple of fighters any more than it is about one network.

    Ten years from now this whole thing won't matter much in retrospect.

    Great point there.
    Bobfather needs to have another Pac or Cotto in his stable after these two great fighter retires.

    We will find out when the PPV numbers come out.

    But from the Hausser's article it sounds like HBO is very distraught about the whole ordeal.

    HBO obviously they lost the biggest draw in the sport while toprank gained national exposure and promotion which could help increase ppv buys
