Mosley has 3 HBO dates next year

Really milking him at the end of his career. That 3rd date will either not happen, or will be a mockery. Shame because he's not all bad, he's just fading and rather than his competition fading in line, he's facing guys who can, do, and will beat him.

i can't believe that arum would allow shane to fight in jan/feb in advance of a may ppv. Risky. if he's fighting pacquiao my guess is he wont fight any of those dates (besides pac). FYI, this thread was started in 09, so that was for this year, 10.

just read that he has three HBO dates next year 1st. Jan or Feb 2nd. Late Spring 3rd. Fall source...where they talk boxing... i can't believe that arum would allow shane to fight in jan/feb in advance of a may ppv. Risky.

Well..this was semi true.

By the way f you are a prospect dont sign with GBPs. beause besides jacobs, they have wrongly matched, a bunch of their prospects. Velezuez, Ortiz and Cruz all lost already by fighting for GBPs!! I read somewhere that jacobs was never signed with them, he was just a free agent

It's GBP fault they lost? Maybe they just suck. I suppose you blame Arum for Cotto getting KTFO and quitting too. That would've the best move ever if he would've been the one to get that done. 1 cash cow turned into 3. Margarito became a huge name breaking Staples attendane records in his next fight. Cotto was the front runner for Oscar, when he lost, Pacquiao got the nod. And Cotto still remains a solid draw with a big fight coming up, on the verge of getting to that next level.

I can't really say that Golden Boy puts on good fights on ESPN, but they did a good job on VS unlike that Tye Fields bullshit we got from Arum. And Champbox wants to watch undefeated prospects get fed fighters with sub par records on $40 and $50 PPVs and that's his perrogative. I aint letting that snake rip me off. And that JMM-Mayweather card was good the other night other than the main event and the John-Juarez fight. Regarding Mosley, I actually think he deserves to have three TV dates next year. HBO did that for Cotto until this year, so why shouldn't Mosley get the same priviledge? I'm pretty sure he won't be getting knocked out cold anytime soon. Even though I am against HBO's monopoly over HBO, Mosley is a more important fighter that HBO should make a priority unlike these other hype jobs like Victor Ortiz and Juan Diaz. Showcasing these fighters that are more hype than substance is the problem I have.

It's good that boxing is being invested again. We need it to be on free TV more with the smaller names and then PPV ocne they are big.

There was nothing wrong with Cruz being matchup with Lock. Cruz was coming of that great Shobox win last January. Plus he was a great Puerto Rican Amatuer. Lock was coming of a bad lose on FNF. Cruz just didn't have no chin or just got caught good. Same can be said for Ortiz. Its not GBP, that he quit and doesn't have a chin. If he would have boxed more instead of brawled with a brawler in Madina, he could've won that fight. Top Rank has been robbing us of those sorry ass Latin Fury cards. There horrible for the most part. Good to see Shane get 3 dates. He got ****ed over with the Clottey fight this year. But a budget is a budget in these hard times. Hope he gets the Floyd fight first. But if not #1 Berto for the WBC #2 Clottey, Cotto, or the IBF belt #3 Floyd for the undisputed/Lineal/Ring Belt. I also read on Rafael's blog a while ago that ESPN and Top Rank are close to making a deal again. Top Rank will being showing off there prospects again. Remember the Top Rank Shows on ESPN back in the day?

Hey Ch@mp, Marquez vs Diaz is the leading FOTY candidate for 2009. Can you tell me who are these guys promoters'? I forgot. Oh yeah and i also forgot how many HBO PPVs have any Top Rank fighter headlined in this year, excluding Manny Pacquiao. And how many viewers tuned in to Top Rank's Latin Fury PPV cards this year? It doesn't matter how long Top Rank has been in the business. A boxing promotional company is not like wine, it doesn't get better with age. GBP is def making an impact in the sport in all sorts of ways. Top Rank can't do a successful PPV without GBP, GBP can do a successful PPV by it self. The best all-Top Rank card this year is Pacquiao vs Cotto. I agree with this here Kevin..good post..green K given.

1. Berto 2. Mayweather 3. Pacquiao or Cotto 2

It's GBP fault they lost? Maybe they just suck. I suppose you blame Arum for Cotto getting KTFO and quitting too. Arum rigged the fight :luvbed:

Be sure if he losses the first fight at least the next one is off. Hope he fights Berto in january. Its already set They just need confirmation from Floyd that hes waiting for Pacquiao Should be a good fight

Be sure if he losses the first fight at least the next one is off. Hope he fights Berto in january. got cha...I figured what you were saying.

ok..but the article said that he WILL fight those three times next year. Guess we will see. Be sure if he losses the first fight at least the next one is off. Hope he fights Berto in january.

And thats bullshit!!!!! HBO will ontinue fukking up like this? Looked what happend, this year. They cant keep giving GBPs all the dates!!!!! come on Champ, you know good and well that GBP will continue to get ANY DATE they want to get with HBO.

Just like they had the december 26th date for him? You can never be sure on what a network date says.One days it's ok the next it's off. The correct is that he has 3 TENTATIVE dates. ok..but the article said that he WILL fight those three times next year. Guess we will see.
