Anyone see the HUGE banner ad they have at the top of the site when you first enter?

Not for a Marquez/Pacman, Rafa/Vasquez, Mosley/Cotto, Casamayor/Katsidis...

At least they actually put Steve Forbes' name on the banner, in fine print at the bottom, but still, that's better than the ridiculous poster for the fight.

I agree, with a DLH fight, wouldn't you think HBO would need to spend LESS on this event than any other boxing event? Any DLH fight is a big deal, and people will watch, especially on regular HBO. It even had its own Countdown show.

We needed these banner ads for Hopkins-Calzaghe, for Winky-Taylor, for the big HBO WCB fights and the PPVs that didn't get enough promotion like Cotto-Mosley and Pac-JMM II. Maybe the HBO brass will think this is a good idea and stick with it, and push other WCB cards like this. That can only be good for the sport.
