      You better learn to forgive them. Once Pac retires you have nothing. Remember that. The golden goose wont be around forever. You wont be able to call the shots once hes gone.

        Also Ross Greenburg od HBO.

        And the head of ESPN is too, his name is Bernstein (different Bernstein, not Al).

            I think that is debatable

            I think there are plenty of quality, young and older fighters that HBO can showcase.

            Cotto is on his way out, as is Pac. Those are his biggest money makers

            If Gamboa, JCC Jr. and a few others develop like we think they can, then sure. But at the moment, they are all matched very soft, so I don't think its a big loss.

            At the end of the day, Arum, who makes a living decieving people sounds like an ex-girlfriend. And when it comes down to it, nobody ponies up the cash like HBO does. Arum isn't going anywhere. I think HBO isn't going to let these crooked ass promoters and chump fighters take them for a ride anymore.

                    Showtime can make Top Rank more money than HBO so whats the problem? Yall fanboys dont know anything about how to run a business. Top Rank is gonna DESTROY GBP this year in PPVS. Pac Mosley and Cotto Mayorga are gonna sell more PPVS than all 2011 GBP's PPV's COMBINED!!!

                      Top Rank knows how to build stars..

                      Just look at GBP fighter, they aren't even a star and they all looked shot at their 20's
