HBO's standards are pretty low, so you have a point, but if they want to raise their standards Bute-Brinkley should not be picked up.
Brinkley might make it a good fight, but as of right now it would be a waste of money. Because it's a showcase fight.
The average fan tuning in does not remember one sided fights unless they are brutal beatdowns or a devastating knockout. Bute is too big of a favorite for them to overpay for it.
I'm just talking though because HBO is ******. They wouldn't buy Bute-Brinkley or make it the main event of a double/tripleheader, yet they turn around and allow Gamboa-Salido or Berto-Kotelnik to headline.
