                    Gatti was an established draw that could sell out Atlantic city and had built up an impressive body of work.

                    Berto has literally done nothing.


                    Sorry ass comparison.

                        ya i think he was ... or to say the least it was more justified. cause he had an actual fan following in both viewers and in paid attendance. so theyd have to secure him somehow. berto has neither

                            How did his fanbase benefit HBO's pocket when they bought his fights?

                            Gatti was a regional gate fighter.

                                    You guys fail to understand that it is about ROI.

                                    I'm not saying that Berto provides a robust ROI. He doesn't. but neither did Gatti. Nor Shane.

                                        People want to see him. I didn't even follow boxing when he was fighting and I knew who he was, and so do many people.

                                        If someone has a big following that = more HBO subscriptions.
