    Yeah, you think Mexicans went to go see Mosley and Mora? Go watch the Mosley vs. Margacheato fight and the Staples Center was filled with Mexicans. Mexicans went to go see Canelo not Mosley or Mora. Mexicans don't even like Mora.

      Do you guys really think HBO is really worried about Arum working with Showtime when everyone knows HBO is the cash cow in the business? Fighters want to fight on HBO not Showtime. HBO pays fighters a lot more and have a bigger budget for boxing. HBO has more boxing fans.

      Who gives a **** if Arum and Manny go to Showtime? HBO will still have the biggest cash cow in the world, the biggest cash cow in the UK, and the future cash cow in Canelo.

      Who does Arum have besides Cotto and Manny? Cotto is at the end of his career and Manny has like 5 fights left.

      Canelo already sold out the Staples Center by himself and carried the PPV. He's going to sell out the Honda Center next.
      I think HBO is somewhat worried if Pac does a PPV with showtime.

      They will lose a lot of money in it.

      So yes, HBO gives a shit.

        Pac-man vs Mosley is easily the biggest fight of the year so far and will make the most money! Easy!!!! Hbo will take a big loss if they don't have this fight! Unless Money Mayweather saves the day and returns from vacation. Hbo will have to cut a phat ass check for that to happen tho lol and they hate him. This **** is comedy really

          I think this is just a threat by Bob Arum.

          But, yea from what I read and heard that if it does happen they will have a 24/7 like series and have it on CBS.

          That is what I read but I don't know. To me is going to be on HBO and if it's not it will be interesting on how that works.

          Either way if it's on HBO or Showtime, I hope the opposite network does a good fight and that UFC does something big on that date.

            Those who think, this is HBO decision are only kidding themselves.

            HBO is in the Pacquaio business, they make a lot of money from hosting Pac fights. He's their biggest guaranteed cash cow right now.

            So they do want to host this event. Arum is the one, who's bringing this threat being a dick of the whole Cotto situation.

              with that said, PAC-Mosely is gonna NEED the 24-7 to sell...expect a big drop in ppv numbers if this goes to HBO's rival network

                Exactly! Remember they do Fight Camp 360 for the super six.

                Also everyone is aware that you don't have to be a subscriber to buy the ppv right?

                    Look at the budget that HBO has. They're running shit don't get it twisted. The problem is there kind of dumb with their money.

                      True! Hbo is at the moment, but the table can be turned. Just tired of hbo thinking they are bigger than boxing
