Why did HBO not like Naseem Hamad?

I never really got why they hated naseem, considering he got HBO big numbers. They would call him a clown and pretty much seemed like Barrera's cheerleader during the fight. I remember lampleys quote saying "Prince Naseem said earlier that if I lost, it's because Allah wrote it down that I lost. Well I guess Allah knows how to spell B A R R E R A!" I mean damn, thats a pretty harsh comment. Not only that. I don't even think HBO ever mentions the guy anymore. They act like he didn't exist even though he was one of the top earners and fighters during that time. Was he c*cky? Hell yeah he was, especially in the ring. But thats what made him so entertaining and such a draw for people. Just ask Ali. The only problem I had with him was his entrances, those were way too long. So why did HBO have a problem with him?
