    There isn't enough money from the networks to satisfy both parties, it sucks but that's the way boxing is run now.

      Why?

      Why take so long to make damn fights?

      Same with Juanma, he said he's going to shut up Caballero in January of 2010.

      I know it takes time to get agreements, publicity, date and what channel is going to transmit it, but I really hate this part of boxing.

      I know they all train hard, put their lives in the line and risk it all in the ring.

      But this is ridiculous, Berto and Mosley can make it happen by October or even November.

      Calderon gonna make it for September and he just had a fight a month ago, what the ****?
      Hbo is broke. They overpaid floyd for floyd/jmm and cotto/pac broke the bank. That's why these fights aint happening in 09

            These guys need to fight MORE PERIOD. Angulo is the perfect example he had a Nov date reserved on HBO yet came out to fight 4 WAY less money on ESPN for more exposure and to stay active. This is what fighters need to do.

              Yeah, look at Hopkins who fought Pavlik like a decade ago and there's no dates mentioned to fight, much less an opponent, then they fight and when they get beaten everyone blames the inactivity, like Winky against Williams. Mosley should've fought this past summer already.
