HBO already learned their lesson when GBP last PPV BOMBED. Less than 50k ppvs? Are you serious?

Pac vs Marquez 3 will happen next, book it.

We will see if HBO will back it or not. I'm dam sure ain't just taking bob word for it.

I think this might be a preemptive strike.

HBO learned a lesson when they financially assisted the Mayweather/Marquez fight. They have to make big lies to make people believe that the fight was a success...but all boxing aficionados around the world knows that it was a big loss. Who likes to buy PPV with Mayweather fighting somebody else aside from Manny Pacquiao. HBO lost a lot in that event. That is one of the reasons why Greenburg is now in hot water.
