Thanks gary shaw, I'm glad this fights not on ppv. I want to be able to watch this at my house, not at a bar or a live-stream in crap quality.

Does it really matter who gets the fight. The point is that the fight is happening.

Very interesting terms laid down by the WBO. I have to say that I like the way they did this. This would definitely motivate Bradley from a financial point of view to encourage Shaw to work with Arum and put this fight on the Cotto/Pac undercard. Then again, Shaw may pretty much figure this fight goes to the scorecards and tells Timmy Boy to take short money to keep his belt in front of the friendly Cali judges.

Yes it does, now I don't have to watch it on a ****ty ass stream but on showtime hd... Gary Shaw is the ****ing man.

Why would you have to watch it on a stream if Arum was doing it? It would either be on a Top Rank PPV or a Pac/Cotto PPV under card. Personally I was hoping for Pac/Cotto under card to bolster that purchase a little bit more.

Also, I have never heard anyone refer to Gary "Fat Leisure Suit" Shaw as the F'n Man.

Wow
