He doesn't have many options right now that would get him respect apart from Mike Jones. HBO have spoiled him by paying him $1 million when he sold only 900 tickets. He really isn't a draw so it doesn't make any sense. At least they said no to Berto-Aydin being on HBO, that really would have been a new low!

Collazo beat Berto imo.

At this point Berto has to take risks and less money than he thinks that he deserve. Also inactivity is hurting him. Got to work your way there, sometimes having a promotional machine backing you up doesn't help.

Mike Jones versus Andre Berto, make it happen, HBO!

showtime then

Mosley came off a loss but was just on a PPV and is about to on PPV again.He just did not wanna get his ass KO'd I really hate this hype job.I hope Con fights Maidana so I won't have to compare these two anymore cause Berto should be in a class of his own.The gutless class..

HBO is spoiling the **** out of these kids. Berto is no where near worth 600-800K. He doesn't bring in that kind of revenue. Even Angulo shouldnt be offered motha****in 750,000. Thats ridiculous.

I agree 25. I think hbo wanted to really make the angulo v Martinez fight.

Showtime,that's why their better!!Most of these fighters start out as contenders on Showtime,Angulo,the Punisher,Berto just to name a few!!Then hbo promises them the world,they get greedy & this is what we get!!They overpayed & protected Berto,now he won't fight for less,but isn't going to get what he wants!!Like I said,showtime is much better,because fighters are hungry over there,hbo just spoils fighters & ruin there careers!!

[street bully]

HBO really makes me sick with offering these kids this type of money and then treating their vetrans who are better like trash. No way should Berto be able to make good money fighting stiffs, he sucks.

Berto and his people are fools. Inactivity and the fact that for at least 3 fights not Berto has not improved at all is going seriously hurt. I say that because Berto is going to have to fight a top quality guy in order to get paid and with no improvement and inactivity he is going to lose. Berto's dumbass needs to take a good stay busy fight then take a pay cut to fight a good name and then start to get paid what he still won't be worth!!!!!!

berto needs to stop fighting jr WWs.

he needs to let mosley get 60/40 and get it on.
