That will obviously change next year. Can you imagine the heat HBO would have gotten if they had made big money deals with Canelo and Chavez Jr instead of Bradley and Alexander?Comment

Yeah that's what I'm saying.
1.6 was the best they did last year and we already doing better and got some big fights ahead. I think this weekends fight will break the 2 million mark, Klitschko always got good ratings just it was a a pain in the ass going to Germany for HBO.Comment

HBO gave Devon & Berto money because they were highly rated Ams who they felt had star potential as fighters and would fight tough guys. Canelo is 20 and ratings or not, he's fighting cans. You want HBO to pay him millions just to fight these cans just because its ratings? Then why would Canelo ever step up in comp? Its the gift & the curse so becareful what you ask for. If you pay him that now then he either hardly ever fights tough guys or you will have to pay him darn near Floyd-Pac money for big fightsComment

In the short term look for another softie or twoHBO gave Devon & Berto money because they were highly rated Ams who they felt had star potential as fighters and would fight tough guys. Canelo is 20 and ratings or not, he's fighting cans. You want HBO to pay him millions just to fight these cans just because its ratings? Then why would Canelo ever step up in comp? Its the gift & the curse so becareful what you ask for. If you pay him that now then he either hardly ever fights tough guys or you will have to pay him darn near Floyd-Pac money for big fights
But eventually the demand for him too step up and fight bigger names will be there he won't be able to cash in on his star power if he doesn't.
Plus that's were the big-big $ are in ppv and he'll need dance partners HBO will make sure of that bcse they won't pay for one-sided ppv shows why do you think they didn't go all out for Pacs last 1Comment
