      They 'cut' him because they don't like high ratings and the cash windfall from yet another Pacquiao million buy PPV. It's all about 50K buys baby.

      Makes sense, no?

              HBO has been showing boxing FOREVER! this is HBO we're talking about here, remember that. So why would they pick Manny to cut out unless Floyd is cut also.

                I think it's bull**** if HBO still wants to show Mayweather fights without Manny in it then I don't see why Manny Pacquiao should be on HBO ever again period.

                But I totally understand if HBO says that they won't have any fights with them unless it is with each other.
