Mosley, Hopkins Clottey, Berto: HBO Debacle Looms

[jrosales13]

Its Mosleys own danm fault, waiting till the end of the year to fight, he should have been doing that 3 months ago, but he wanted to wait for a big ppv payday, and look what he is getting Clottey. Wow just think of the payday he will get from that one.

I agree to a certain extent on why Mosley is to blame, But, at same time Shafer and Oscar should of sat down with Mosley after Margarito and should of told him look Pac will be busy in May against Hatton. PBF is coming out of retirement but will be looking for an easier opponent. So you should fight in June against a Quintana or a Sheshenko (spelling) who is your mandatory and undefeated. Fight them in LA maybe at the Home Depot Center. So you could keep your momentum. And, then have Mosley have him fight again in the end of the year.

This is where Golden Boy messes up a promotional company. And, sometimes I don't think they know what they are doing. They did not capitalize on Mosley momentum they finally secured him a date for Dec 5. And, then they give it up? Let me ask you this if Mosley was with Top Rank and they had the Dec 5 date. Do you think if HBO Would of asked Arum to move it, that he would? I think not. GBP should of told HBO why don't you let us keep our date and you can put Pavlik-Williams on the 26

Ricky Hatton, a Golden Boy Promotions fighter, draws more fans and makes HBO more money than the Top Rank fighters in bold...put together. So I don't know how does Top Rank has GBP beat when one GBP fighter is more valuable than 11 Top Rank fighters on that list, added together.

How much more fights does Hatton have left? How much more valuable is he now? Is it safe to say that in the next 5yrs Lopez, Donaire, and Valero. Would make more money than Hatton?

HBO pisses me off. They need to dead the PPV's and focus more on just givin us good fights. And I'm gettin sick of Berto. Somebody please kick his ass.

HBO is ****** for not giving the ATGs a fight this year

[The Gambler1981]

The major networks don't want it and ESPN can't afford it.

ESPN could afford it if they wanted to, but they choose not to spend on boxing. I assume they know if it is a good idea to spend that kind of money or not though.

I agree and also I think HBO don't have enough on their budget. But, is they own fault they overpaid for Dawson-Tarver 2, Williams-Wright, and Berto-Urango. But, once again you have to blame GBP. They already had the date for Dec 5. Why would they move it? If they would of told HBO no. Shane would of been fighting on the 5 against Clottey most likely.

I think Golden Boy and Lou Dibella both should just join together and forget HBO for now. They should shop their fights to Showtime, CBS,NBC,ABC, ESPN or do ESPN PPV,Showtime PPV or an independent PPV. They could offer four fights featuring their fighters. They could do Mosley-Clottey, Berto-Hlatschwayo, Martinez-Cintron 2, and Diaz-Malignaggi 2. December 12th or 19th would be good dates if they wanted to do all of the fights on one PPV card. Also if they wanted to do PPV they should do the same thing Mayweather-Marquez is doing and go to the movie theaters. Also do the PPV for 39.95 and they probably would do well. If not PPV, then Mosley-Clottey and Berto-Hlatschwayo could go on December 12th, and Martinez-Cintron 2 and Diaz-Malignaggi could go on December 19th.
