HBO to buy Julio Cesar Chavez Jr's mandatory shot against Sebastian Zbik on June 4.

It was bob who turned down Martinez vs Cotto.

Edit: in case you are talking about HBO turning down the opponents Sergio and Cotto wanted.

Yawn...

So Top Rank uses the Showtime/CBS deal to force the idiots at HBO to buy this. So much for the network slot for Chavez Jr.

Yep. Bob always runs back to HBO when he says he wants it on network tv.

HBO turned down Cotto-Vanes and Martinez-Lee but they pick up Zbik Chavez Jr. that makes no sense no matter how you slice it.

and hbo turned down cotto vs vanes which is much better than chavez vs tuneup #43 or whatever number he's on.

Chavez Jr. might surprise you all, he is not too bad offensively, its not like Mexican Boxing can get any worse

As long as HBO doesn't overpay, but it still is ****** they are approving Zbik. Though this fight can go both ways where Martinez-Zbik would have been a blow out.

How is Bob running back to HBO when HBO is the one who is buying a crap fight that should be on ESPN? If anything HBO is sucking Bobs **** so that he can forgive them.

yep and hbo is probably buying the chavez fight to also get cotto-cheato. its not guaranteed that fight will be on hbo.

i still don't understand why cotto-vanes wasn't good enough for hbo.

vanes is a top ranked 154 fighter. he's also undefeated.

plus cotto is a big draw on hbo. probably the biggest draw on regular hbo right now.

don't understand it.
