i can still remember mike tysons last fight on HBO years ago before he went to showtime, & before he went to jail aginst Alex Stewart (KO1),. he said during the in ring interview after his win "HBO knows what they did", and he said goodbye. rumor was mike wasnt to happy about the fact HBO constantly showed clips on HBO of him being KO'd by douglas to a theme song "simply the best" by tina turner. that rocked the boxing world and HBO struggled to find a star for alil while until the Golden Boy oscar came along.
here we are probably 22 years later and Another major icon leaves HBO.
with that being said i wonder what was the stick that broke the camels back with mayweathers partnership with HBO. remains to be seen.....

What everyone fails to realize is that Michael Buffer will not be announcing this fight! Is the fight really going to be the same with "Iiiiit's Showtime" I don't think so.

Floyd forgot to say "take the good with the good and bad with the bad" or "take it one step at a time"
