Does HBO favor certain boxers for the wrong reasons?

[BOLLOCKS]

Because their bias towards Yanks?

Because their bias towards Yanks?

Bob Arum said in early 2007 that Greenburg was reluctant to put Kelly Pavlik on, and he's a Yank.

good lord man, if youre trying to say something then ****ing say it, dont play around with the subject with silly ****ing hints and suggestive statements. women do that all the time and its annoying as hell.

[BOLLOCKS]

They're bias towards Yanks and causal Boxing fans. Pavlik was a very unknown back then, and it's not like he became a legend since then, or anything..

HBO mistakenly thought steroidgio martinez's rabid sergiosexual internet messageboard fans translated into actual real life fans.

Turns out steroidgio "maravagina" martinez is a PPV failure and a ratings disaster.

HBO needs to insist that steroidgio martinez takes OSDTs as his bike-riding hero lance armstrong should have done.

i know they dont like underdogs that beat their hypejobs


they hype up Jacobs, he loses and we never see Pirog again

same with Kirkland and Ishida

Yes, HBO respects you if you show loyalty to them. That's why Floyd is getting a 40million dollar guarantee. That glass bodied disgrace manny ran over to showtime and gets cuts on his wage.

Its actually pretty simple and surprisingly not about race as tempting as that angle might be.

It goes something like this:

Ross Greenberg is a good producer who got the boxing job for no good reason. His right hand man is Kerry davis a music executive who produced mariah carey and that sort.

Al Haymon is another guy who made his money in the music biz and now enjoys a symbiotic relationship with Davis and Greenberg as they make money ruining boxing for the rest of us.

Proof its not about race comes in the fat form of Cris Arreola who is a Haymon fighter who will continue to be given chances no matter how fat he is or how many times he loses.

This is just nepotism and crony capitalism.

Not racialism.

Interesting how Greenburg wants to have Lara on even though he was awful in his last fight, while he refuses to have Ishida back on even though he scored 3 knockdowns and a round one TKO.

Neither is American - this clearly shows Greenburg favors certain fighters for ANOTHER reason.

because Ishida is not a credible fighter.

Lara has pedigree and is undefeated. By your rationale, we should have the guy who k.o'd Linares in Japan on Hbo now.
