    Why did HBO buy Diaz-Malignaggi and not Bradley-Campbell?

    Its not clear if Diaz going to fight @ 135 still or move up to 140 officially. Or how much longer he will fight before turning to his next career. Malignaggi punch resistance has deteriorated some and is not the same fighter since his war with Cotto. How is this comeback fight with these guys more important to HBO than Bradley-Campbell a fight for the best 140 lber. I'm a fan of all four fighters, but just don't see their rationale, I thought they were trying to get the best fights this year, but did not get Froch-Taylor, prefer Cintron as Williams next opponent over Dzinziruk?

    Cause HBO loves Diaz.

    Bradley has become a Showtime staple.

      I can only think that they were beat to the punch... Because if they choose Diaz-Malignaggi over Campbell-Bradley then someone over at HBO needs to get fired asap

          That and the fact that Mag and diaz are both much more popular (not better) than Brad and Camp.

          Diaz also has alot of mexican support. His fights here in houston are very cheap and always sell out.
