[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The first half of 2010 is shaping up to be a big year for HBO. BoxingScene.com had a chance to catch up with Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports, to discuss a number of potential fights that are being negotiated for his network. [Click Here To Read More]

Arreola - Adamek = WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

Sounds very good

Greenburg is a tool but those are all nice fights. Marquez vs. Khan would be really interesting.

Four fights I'd like to see HBO produce for the first half of the year

1. Mayweather - Mosley (May)
2. Pavlik - Williams (April)
3. Lopez - Gamboa (June)
4. Khan - Maidana/Marquez (April)

jones/hopkins should be free

jones/hopkins should be free

No, they should pay people to watch that nonsense.

It would've been a great fight in 2001, not 2010.

Marriage trumps hbo/golden boy april 17

Big day for a good guy

Unbelievable that he talks about giving fans what they want, and the next thing that comes out of his mouth is the Hopkins-Jones PPV.

Has a guy ever had a PPV fight immediately following a 1st round KO loss? **** HBO for this.

I would have liked to hear why HBO has been ignoring Adamek for the past 3 years.

Sounds like April-May will be busy on HBO but man the bottom fell out for Jan-feb-march with a total of only 2 BAD cards.

Anyone know how long the Golden Boy guaranteed date "partnership" is scheduled to last? I'm not saying that's the whole problem but I hate seeing these fighters get signed (Ruiz) who will likely get shoehorned into those open dates.

And agreed, I don't think HBO should have anything to do with Hopkins-Jones II. Maybe use their distribution network but without the HBO brand. I'd hate to have to see Lampley and Merchant have to cover that crap AND not talk about how it's crap b/c they're charging $55 for it.

I am not a Greenberg fan. He seems a bit like a sports franchise owner that spends as much money as possible but never makes the playoffs. He needs to take a page from Dan Snyder and step back, hire a core boxing guy and let success come. Copping out to GBP with guaranteed dates seems like abdicating the duties as steward of the sport.
