I have not missed a HBO card in about 4 years, so i am not anti HBO. When you think about it, HBO will not show a good fight free by design. Fights that are free usually are lesser known names or fights bound to be boring.
Morales-Barrera 1 was a BAD card, two mexican fighters not very well known, they have an ATG fight and the next two fights are on ppv. Pacquiao-Barrera 1 a free fight not designed for Barrera to lose, i think it was suppose to be an easy win. Pacquiao-Marquez 1, Marquez was a title holder who was supposed to be a win for Pacquiao, well and it ended up being a draw. Now the rematches both on HBO PPV. Rocky Juarez-Marco Antonio Barrera, Juarez not well known, he took a big challenge and it ended up being a great fight, rematch PPV. Taylor-Pavlik great great fight on WCB, rematch placed on HBO PPV. Maskaev-Rahman 2, HBO PPV, although this one puzzles me the most.
So anyways these are just some examples of how HBO tries to get money from us as much as possible. They give free fights out that are supposed to be boring or they are suppose to be a mismatch. And yes there are exceptions, such as gatti-ward but most of the time that is what i notice. If HBO knows a fight will be good they will make sure it is on PPV
