HAHAAHAHA HBO on a ****** Budget for this Weeks PPV! Pacman is not a DRAW! must read.
I ****ING TOLD YOU!
all you guys are haters on me! This fight is on HBO ppv and it will only do like 95k on ppv buys tops!
Hbo already cutting corners they will only use 2 men lampley and steward...(larry and max are not gonna announce)
They also didnt do a countdown show.
they also know the tickets sales are very poor!
The buzz is only 500 people will show up to the weighs....pretty freaking sad.
• Sometimes HBO just does weird stuff. The latest example involves Saturday's David Diaz-Manny Pacquiao pay-per-view card. For the first time that I am aware of in its long history of covering boxing, the network will purposely go with just two announcers instead of the usual three. Jim Lampley, the greatest blow-by-blow man in boxing history, will be in his seat working with expert analyst Emanuel Steward. Normally, HBO would also have Larry Merchant or Max Kellerman, who split shows, working at ringside. But for some bizarre reason both have been left home.
I asked HBO spokesman Ray Stallone for an explanation. Stallone is a good soldier and a loyal company man, so I don't blame him for his spin attempt, but here's what I got: "We determined that we could efficiently do this event and maintain quality by using Jim and Manny on the broadcast team. Harold Lederman will join them in his unofficial judging role. There is a production savings, which helps for later in the year."
