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

[Domain]

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

yup

I heard in new york they are now accepting Euros.

If I get paid pay me in European money **** thats why the british can come here so cheap its 2-1 so if a room cost 40 bucks they only have to pay 20 of there currency.

I dont know, bailing on the boxing Heavyweight division when MMA is getting closer isnt a good idea. Besides we will have a unified Heavyweight champ next week.

Thats bull**** about HBO not doing anymore Boxing shows. HBO made more money off boxing in 2007 than ever before and cut out a new season of legendary nights. HBO needs to rep boxing right.............

Now??

Mask vs Peter might be good..
McCline vs Ruiz will be **** cuz Ruiz is always ****.

Hw div needs a face! a leader....

Give me the russian giant (valuev) a tazer,pepper spray, a case of habanero tabasco sause and 3 uncasterated pitbull and i WILL make him the greatest thing since Muhammed Ali (or LAyla's t1ts)

its all good cause the MMA is going thru the same thing with there heavyweight division its actually even worse though cause they wont do business with other promoters.

I like the heavyweight division, I don't want them to get rid of it. Though cruiser weight has far better fights in it

The HW division has always been the glamour division, but the past years have'nt been that good. It's good for Greenburg to put some pressure on people, but I doubt it works since good money is being made and for some people that's all they care about.

the heavyweights are just plain terrible. I bailed last year and I don't plan on watching this weekend. it's like the top dogs have gone away and the small fish are now fighting for supremacy. the great irony is that the "small fish" are freakin GIANTS who STILL suck.

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?

Greenburg is full of ****. As soon as there is another heavyweight that captures the public interest like Mike Tyson, HBO will be all in. Just another suit guy blowing smoke.

[SkillspayBills]

Perfect, put pressure on those ****ers to make things happen and make the fights that everyone wants to see.

What the hell are they complaining about? Next week's fight between Klitschko and Ibragimov should be a decent action packed fight...
