    Do you think Mayweather burnned the HBO bridge?

    If mayweather were to potentially come out of retirement do you think that his comments about the racism of HBO would affect his ability to get his fight broadcasted or do you think HBO will get over it for the kind of multi million dollar fights he brings? I don't see him going to Showtime.

    Yes, by calling them racist. But HBO loves $$ so Im sure they will have him back if its lucrative.

      When Floyd is ready to return, HBO will be happy to televise it. The only objections they would have is if his demands are thought to be unreasonable.

        He's a prick but I'm sure HBO would welcome him back since he's a huge draw (only in boxing).

        BUT for that to happen he would need to drop his VERY busy C-List celebrity life... You know all the really IMPORTANT things hollywood bigshots do like... wrestling, dancing, running a ****ty rap label, and pretty much whoring for attention anyway you can get it.

        If only Money May could buy some Hollywood clout he wouldn't be a nobody outside the sport of boxing.

            As long as he draws HBO won't give a ****. Just don't expect the announcers to talk kindly about him.

              If I'm not mistaken, he is STILL signed to HBO. He has a contract with them for a specific number of fights that he hasn't completed yet. Even though he is retired, if he does comeback, he won't have a choice but to fight for them.

                    Unless there is an expiration date for that, you're probably right.
