A few days ago I said that there would be no Jorge Linares fight on the May 3 card. Turns out he will be fighting an unbeaten Australian named Billy Dib (who?). However, this fight will not be shown on HBO. The best we can hope for is highlights.
Linares on DLH-Forbes card

he fought on the non TV portion of the Casa Kats fight and stunk out the joint majorly. He is all flash no substance and even then he doesn't have the physical tools to make you remind him of anyone good
he sucks flat outComment

HBO would likely tell you that the cost of those two main events ****** up the entire budget. Oscar may try and con people into believing he is "giving back to the fans", but he sure as hell is getting well paid for it.Comment

yea HBO paid 5 million for the DLH main event, and Forbes is getting paid scraps. So DLH is making a few mil for this junk.
But How much would a fighter like Linares demand? Practically nothing, he probably just wants the exposure. DLH and co. were probably very unreasonable in negotiationsComment
