    thats staright up bull****, mora took the ouma fight in the undercard of marquez-juarez on hbo ppv....when it got cancelled because of marquez' injury showtime rescued the card but they only took 2 fights..the main event and the guerrero fight, espn wanted mora-ouma but the fighters had to take a paycut to go through with it, mora accepted the paycut, ouma didnt......ouma went on to lose his next fight, mora was held to a draw(that most at ringside thought he won-espn, maxboxing-*********- even if he looked horrible)

        its good for the fighters they would most likely never make any money or be known with out the show! , the one issue i feel is bad is that it exposes the public to fighters that are not on the level of the top in the sport, and thus does not allow a showcase of the best talent boxing has to offer. plus it makes it harder for the sports best fighters to break out and be noticed which is what they clearly deserve. to see these very average pros creates a distorted image as to the quality of fighter a top professional is! i know it's not the shows fault, but it just sucks to see mora get more props than all these great fighter this sport has to offer!
