      HBO said it has a hard time finding match ups for high-profile fighters

      start looking elsewhere.

      i mean it don't always have to be a high proflie fighter to make a ppv...i bet they could make a ppv off bradley-alexander and label it with good undercards. it might be a slow process but it'll get more people to watch boxing if they watch up and comers

        if you think about it tho, mosely just loss and berto won his last fight. 50/50 sounds reasonable if you look at it from that point of view.

        but yeah *** that bring on berto mike jones

Now he's gonna be lucky to get chump change. Not to mention the Mosley/Berto match up is a helluva lot more interesting than Sugar and the Latin Snake.
          Bro, berto got paid close to 2 million bucks for his boring fight with Quintana.
          Hbo was offering almost the same amount for the mosely-berto fight.
          Someone was gonna get a paycut.Should it be mosley?
          Hbo has budget problems,They will make it next year
          for more money.

            This fight should have been on Telemundo cause Solo Boxeo and TV Azteca showcase quality fights from time to time.

                HBO was never going to be a part of this PPV in the first place so I'm not sure what's there to pass up.

                  It's simple bruh. Berto(I wouldn't call his stoppage of Quintana a boring fight, IDK what you classify a exciting fight????????), but Berto won convincingly. Shane on the other hand lost even moreso convincingly to Floyd. Win>>>>>Loss. You coming off a win you get the bigger purse, you coming off a loss you get the smaller purse. Berto still has a title, Shane lost his. This **** aint rocket science, 50/50 was fair being that during the 1st negotiations Berto was going to take the smaller purse rightfully so.

                    So then Ricky Hatton coming off a loss but the way bigger draw should get less money than say JMM should he beat Juan Diaz cause JMM will coming off a win but yet he is clearly less of a draw?
                    wow
