    If I got the HBO job to be in charge of making fights and negotiating costs, I would embarrass the current crop of HBO executives in charge of it.

    They are terrible at handling the substantial money they have in their budget.

    Out of all the athletes, if anyone deserves to be paid extra it's fighters. That said, I wouldn't do it to the detriment of the quality of the matchups.

        It's funny how Bob Arum and Don King are also getting paid in this fight and they arent even doing anything. Someone needs to clean this mess up desperately.

          They have rights to the fighters involved. Golden boy gets paid when Pacquiao fights as well man.

                  this is all very interesting, and all the shady business should get worked out...but this isnt a clean world, and personally..im just glad the fight got made. any fight for that matter...i think we should just sit back and enjoy fights made, talk about the fights afterward...analyzethe fights. not the business behind it. i like remembering fighterslike lamotta for the fights he was involved in not the business in the backround. taints the whole thing, dont yall think?

                    The money was well spent. Good night of fights and it brought in good ratings.

                    Hauser has a huge agenda against GBP and HBO, particularly HBO. Not sure why.

                      When it comes to boxing how much a fighter/promoter makes just isn't something that means anything to me.

                      Promoters *** each other over all the time so what *** else is new?
