Those pricks are a big part of the problem.

All I know is that Showtime is a hell of a lot better at putting up close, competitve fights. HBO is about money and superstars, boxing is not about superstars...that's Hollywood's job

I think boxing promoters are a disease that�s driving boxing further underground and hbo is just an enabler.

want.

The problem with HBO is they buy fighters instead of fights.

x2 Not only the promoters but also the number of organizations around (i.e. WBO, WBC, WBA).

This is true and then they don't want to lose their investments in tough fights so they try to fix it up nice and pretty like, lol

I actually come to think that the number of organizations we have is a good thing.
