    Where is Thomas Hauser now....

    For all of his insightful writing on the inner workings at HBO, or to his never ending love affair with Manny Pacquiao, the man dubbed as the successor to the late great A.J Libeling has been M.I.A lately. Last year this gentleman writer was relentless in his offensive attack of HBO Sports and it's handling of its boxing programming, to the virtual character assassination of the fighter once known as "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather. As of now, we have no offerings from Hauser on the debacle known as Pacquiao/Mosley, and also what happen to the constant insinuation of HBO executives being in the line of fire for their past transgressions of unsuccessful match making?

    It's been six months, and I'm beginning to wonder has HBO's effort and success in making quality fights this year, or Manny Pacquiao's less that challenging list of opposition in 2011 left Top Ranks biggest BWAA supporter/HBO critic without a bullhorn and soap box to stand on?

    Did Thomas Hauser have an agenda when writing Internet articles regarding Mayweather, Pacquiao, and HBO? Why has he now become silent, when Pacquiao critics are at their loudest?

    Lol, nothing but the truth. The dude let bias and opinions sway him from fact, and now he's paying for it.

    Same with Marley and R. Nathanielsz....

        I really wanted to hear his view on Pacquiao/Mosley since he was a advocate of the Showtime move from HBO, but this guy went from cranking out one or two pieces a month, to virtual silence the last 6 months.

          That's definitely going to happen, but I'm interested in knowing what some of the other fans think. Those who are familiar with his work...

              I saw that, and I'm pretty sure he could have had a well written opinion on some of the fights we witnessed the last six months. There have been some quality matches this year.

                  As I noted in an earlier statement, this week I was advised by two people who I consider to be reliable and knowledgeable that Ross Levinsohn would succeed Ross Greenburg as President of HBO Sports. On Friday morning, I communicated that information to Rick Reeno, who posted it on this website.

                  Thereafter, I learned that Yahoo (Mr. Levinsohn’s current employer) had issued a statement in his name and that other people with knowledge of the situation had told third parties that the information that I shared with BoxingScene.com is incorrect.

                  I have since gone online and read other statements from people who were told by Mr. Levinsohn that he is not leaving Yahoo. Denials from people within HBO have also been communicated to me.

                  I will accept these denials at face value and apologize to anyone (particularly Mr. Levinsohn) who might have been put in an embarrassing situation because of my comments.

                    the denials therefore are all lies and the truth is coming out, the report of t hauser only preempted it for months only. now vindication at last.
