Why did HBO cut Manny PAcquiao?

[The Big Dunn]

The corporate world doesn't care about such things. What's important to them is revenues...lots of revenues to make investors happy and if it is necessary to make head roll on the top honchos, they will do it.

Business has no heart. Money is it's bloodline.

Can't disagree but sometimes you gotta take a step back to move ahead two.

Fake article?

beyond fake...even had misspellings bro

[Dudley]

It means people are dense enough to think HBO would 'cut' their cash cow. Heads are going to roll because of Pacquiao and Cotto willingly going to Showtime. There's been talk of Ross Greenburg and other executives getting 'cut' soon.

Cotto did 250K buys against Mayorga
Pacquiao did 1 mil+ against Mosley

But you think HBO got rid of them in favor of the 50K buys Morales-Maidana did.

Too many simpletons in the world.

Is fact or are you Fox news "allegedly" bull****ting?

Fact, Manny wasn't Shown on HBO, and it sounds like it didn't do better buys then would have been done on HBO. So why the change? Please use a supporting article thanks.

thought it was just a 1 fight thing..cause arum got mad hbo wouldnt buy cotto-mayorga

it wasn't even that.


1. hbo wouldn't buy cotto-vanes (which i actually liked better than cotto-mayorga)

2. cotto-mayorga was made because hbo wouldn't buy cotto-martirosyan

3. showtime outbid hbo for pacquiao-mosley. hbo kept throwing money at arum but cbs/showtime offered them more as far as promotion stuff

How so? Why did HBO step back?

[Code Red]

Because Kellerman, Merchant, nor Lampley were going to pretend Mosley was a threat. Nor wouls they suddenl forget Shane's last 2 fights during promos or 24/7. Take it to Showtime where they just happy to have a big fight.

HBO made a good short term decision because the Pac Mosley fight ******. Remember HBO gopt a ton of **** for putting on blowouts like that the past few years. Since Manny is only fighting blowouts (and he isnt a GBP fighter) then I wouldn't expect HBO to bring him on.

hbo tried to get pac-mosley.

even at the last minute , hbo was throwing money at arum to get it.

hbo sports took a big hit when they lost pac-mosley.

[Phenom]

they lost pacquiao-mosley to showtime.

showtime put up a better offer.

hbo tried to throw money at it to try to get the fight but showtime still won out.

make no mistake , hbo tried to get pacquiao-mosley. they just lost it to showtime.

source please??

How HBO Lost Manny Pacquiao



u got it backwards.

arum dropped HBO, not the other way around.

it was just a one fight thing though. he could be back on HBO next fight.



lampley/merchant/steward >>>>>>>> gus johnson/tarver/bernstein

bernstein is ok, and tarver is fine for certain matchups *cough! cough!*, but gus johnson is horrible
