Kim said that they were thinking about putting Kirkland/Nelson on May 24th since the April 26th card fell apart.
He just posted this too which is equally as good

A source says that a heavyweight bout between Mike Perez and Bryant Jennings on May 24th,'Has potential' of taking place. HBO? #boxing
Looks like they want to go head to head with Stevenson
HBO needs more HW, off the top of my head:
Jennings
Perez
Glazkov now
Adamek (if he hasn't retired, but only because he's M.E)
Ruiz
Might be more, I don't know
Yea, Glazkov can certainly be of some use to them as they need more than a couple guys to match-up especially since I don't think Ruiz can be counted on for anything except cleaning out the local buffets
Yea, I guess I wouldn't have a problem with Nelson-Lee as like the opener on a 4 fight card but no way should that be a part of any two fight card or even the opener of a 3 fight card would be a stretch.
Them picking up Glazkov wouldn't be a bad move as it would set up some fights, but I will never be able to get that Scott fight out of my head in relation to him so he will be meh to me for a long while.
The more I read about HBO's current state just makes me shake my head and thinking "wtf has happened here". It is as if someone wants to run HBO boxing into the ground~

looks like herschman is getting back at Haymon stealing Stevenson and ruining the Kovalev plan by putting on a fight the same night. Damn, gotta admit thats a fine FU to haymon/showtime/stevenson.
If HBO wants, they could put on a decent show for less money than Stevenson's purse.
This Nelson/Lee business is B.S though. Hope Lou is just talking. Would rather see Stevens/Lee

@AndyLeeBoxing, moving down toward 154, willing to step in for Kirkland and fight Willie Nelson on May 24 @HBOboxing.
Lou trying to match his fighters....ehhhh, no
Lol well you know more than me on that matter.

After that he cleaned house and sued GBP.... so don't know if his "friend" was part of the clean house.
Also Glazkov might enter this HW mix
Said HBO spoke about having him on

Unlikely, would be surprised if they let him fight Canelo after the crap he pulled.

He replaced Dunkin with one of his friends who gave pretty bad financial advice

Does he still have the same adviser? The guy that ruined all his fights/

I don't know why anyone would make James Kirkland their headliner
He's an entertaining fighter and did pretty decent in his last outing.
Bad opponent though, wouldn't expect the same reception as his last one
Maybe this is why the show is getting so long to get maid

You just can not count on James Kirkland, dude can fight but you just never know when he will flake out
They need to do something, HBO is non existent in April aside from the PPV.
Just saw this

Could be building a Kirkland/Stevens fight.
Duva could score big if she could get Stevens on there....that'd be like 3 different promoters on one card...hell 4 or more.
I hope they're cool as long as their fighters get paid though and got air time

They certainly need to make something happen and they should have some nice budget room to work with considering they had already budgeted that money for Stevenson.
Setting up Kirkland-Stevens wouldn't be a terrible aim, it certainly would give each guy the incentive to go out and perform. Still when I think that is a fight HBO is looking to build it does make me shake my head a bit.
