    Right... so again how is that HBO's fault?

      Once again you can't really complain about this. You can't blame HBO for the way it turned out. Is the best fighting the best like it should be.

      However, did HBO over pay for the fight? Yes they did. I repeat Bradley made almost the same amount by himself than both Pac and JMM did put together for their first fight on reg HBO.

      If you don't find that ridiculous. Then I'm sorry I think you're an idiot.

      HBO should do more fights like these but they should stop overpaying. Just pay accordingly.

      What they do, is they outbid themselves is just crazy.

        I was disappointed because the fight was boring to he honest, but it was only boring due to the level of anticipation. Overall I'm just happy that this fight actually happened and Bradley will likely face Khan next.

        Sure, the fight didn't live up to expectations, but HBO did the right thing putting this together.

        I don't see this fight as a sign of boxing dying. You're going way overboard.

        Boxing is alive and well as long as the sport can keep putting together fights like this. The level of excitement for fights are beyond HBO or anyone else's hands, but the fighters.

          I don't blame HBO, it's the fact that HBO is so good at hyping up fights I was ****** into it like a teenage boy getting his dick ****** by a fat chick on prom night. I seriously thought we'd see the Devon of old. I thought we'd get an amazing fight. I was wrong.

            And, for the record I don't think Khan fights Bradley neither GBP or Roach will make that fight IMO.

            I see GBP try to push either Maidana or Matthysee to a Bradley fight.

              When did I ever blame HBO? I only stated that they must be kicking themselves in the ass right now for dumping so much money in what turned out to be a dud of a fight.

                The Devon of old?

                The only think I blame on HBO is for overpaying for this fight. That is all. Everything else they were on the money.

                  Where's all this hate towards HBO stemming from?

                    I actually liked it. Good technical fight. Devon looked better than I expected. Unfortunately Bradley couldn't cool it with his headbutts. I mean you guys did not expect to see Vazquez-Marquez.

                      What do you expect them to do when they paid millions for a fight? Of course they're going to promote the fight and hype the fight for casual boxing fans. You can not blame them for hyping the fight.
