Why does HBO invest in Berto?

[Frighteous]

I don't care what he showed to the world, he lied to the public about his bicep, about the rabbit punch in the 1st round that was a legitimate knockdown, and then ducked Mosely with Haiti....

If you think going 12 with Collazo and winning 8-12 is good enough to make up for ducking Mosely with Haiti then you're a perfect Berto fan.

No Collazo did not, it was a tough close fight which Collazo was doing well then Berto came on at the end to win the fight in the championship rounds.

Usually people gain respect for fighter for showing that kind of toughness to dig deep and win a fight~

I agree. People who automatically say "collazo won it" probably never saw the fight.

There are plenty of fighters HBO invests too much in. Chad Dawson is a prime example of that and maybe even Paul Williams to a certain extent. It's not that they are not good. It's that their fan bases don't measure up to how much money they get paid each fight.

Most of the boxing commuinity disagrees with you.

That's not true. The biased people with agendas on boxing scene don't represent "the boxing community".

As cult as the sport is, I think we can find room for any kind of asshat including yourself

You claiming a fighter "lied" about a bicep injury without any proof or knowledge is a perfect example. And you will never find me doing that no matter what I think about a fighter personally.
