    Good job by HBO, Lopez vs Concepcion is a weak fight that should probably be on a PPV undercard or ESPN2.

    Where are you guys getting this info on HBO cutting their budget? Links please.

      they would've done it if it was going to be a double header with the gamboa fight that was the original plan but bobby decided to screw that up and put juanma on a different date so hbo had to make a choice on which fight they wanted and chose gamboa, even arum said last week that everytime he talks to greenburg the first thing he says is "when are we getting gamboa back on hbo?"

          If Juan Ma Lopez is such a draw and a fuckin priority for the networks why did HBO do this? If Lopez deserves so much more money than Cab if they had fought when Cab was unified, then why is HBO accepting a Cab fight and kicking Lopez to the curb? I think I asked this yesterday and the number one Rican apologist Ch@mpbox said that HBO and Showtime were in a tug of war to televise his next fight. Yeah right.

            I think Showtime has the better announces and, 9 times out of 10 Showtime has better fights.

                If they were forced cause the budget cuts in a Caballero/Gamboa or a Lopez/Concepcion IMO the Gamboa fight holds more weight

                  I'll bet you anything HBO would televise Lopez's next fight if he manned up and fought Cab or Gamboa.

                      The right move in my opinion. Lopez v Concepcion is not worthy of headlining a HBO card and they should hold out on him until Arum gives us the match-ups we want. Or sticks him on an undercard.
