ROSS GREENBURG (of HBO): "IF HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION DOESNT GET ACT TOGETHER, WE BAIL"

[Kball15]

Was listing to TONY PAGE on the radio after the fights tonight and he had ROSS GREENBURG on to talk about the Joe Louis Documentary (which, btw, is getting amazing reviews by everyone that has seen it AND will actually be the last Boxing documentary by HBO for at least a year. They are working on a college basketball intergration doc. and a golf doc.)

And they eventually got to the heavyweights of today.

And ROSS GREENBURG said that if the Heavyweight Division doesnt start getting its act together and unify the belts and start making meaningful fights, HBO is going to bail on the Heavyweight division. The ratings are that low and the fights are that bad.

thoughts?

Glad to see he's putting pressure.


But King and Sauerland don't care. We saw those two bastards in the ring together just today, ready to milk "The Russian Giant."

[MELLY-MEL...]

i agree with kayjay. king don't care about pressure. he will be a **** and do what he wants!

[STEELHEAD]

with all the clowns in the hvwt division you'd think all the circus ring masters like king and arum and saurland etc. could get together.

exactly!

all this gonna do is king will go to showtime.

King ruined the heavyweight division he controls that division and its his fault it was ruined, for 3 years i remember he had his fighters going thru some silly round robin but never let them fight hte klitchkos.

or unify when they had titles.

I agree, the heavyweight division is pretty much **** now. We need a prospect, and some gutsy ****in Champions

Yep, and they've been having **** cards for awhile now (with a few choice exceptions) so what difference will it make to them.

yea i hope Greenburg makes this a more public statement cause without this pressure, we arent gonna see any good Heavyweight fights.

IMO, Klitschko-Peter 2 should be done with already, although good things come to those who and Peter-Klitschko 2 will be a much bigger fight if Peter wins against Maskaev

Don King is a turd of all turds he started controlling the heavyweight divison toward a bad direction in the late 90s especially when he has millionare connections in europe...I heard thats why he controls the titles only for the heavyweights because of this, euros convert to the american dollar 2 to 1 so don king gets way more money if he gives the european champs to them and prevents unifications.

its all shady ****.

I cannot stand don kings ways.

[ferocity]

King is making double the money off the heavyweights in europe.
