    HBO is going to ****ing hate it. I bet once they retire you will start seeing a lot of better fight cards put together. To get their PPV revenue they will have to put a lot of popular boxers on their undercards and not just in the main event.

      By no one wants to fight, I assume you mean except Caballero at 126 and Devon at 140.

      I only want them to retire if they want to or if they need to. These are two legends and their careers mean more to me than the welfare of NSB.

        Right, their promoters HAVE to put on garbage undercards, especially Arum.

        (except for floyd jmm, but that's cuz they were scared of the ratings)

            No, I'm not. I really enjoy watching both of those guys fight, particularly Pacquiao. I want to see both of them fight as much as possible before retiring. Fighters like these guys do not come around too often so we need to appreciate them when they do. Sure, their hardcore fans may be very narrow-minded and annoying, but it is still a pretty small price to pay IMO.

              Getting sick and tired of their prima donna antics, hell they don't even leave enough of the pot for a decent undercard. You have to put some blame on HBO for pampering these SOBs, though.

              Now a days everybody is asking for a mil or no fight; plus the PPVs are ****, I guess if you keep buying 'em, then you deserve it.
