    But is that likely?
    What you're saying about HBO getting robberies called in their favor, isn't true. Now you are saying HBO is in control of who fights on their network and the way they promote a fight, two different things. HBO is an American network and majority of their viewers are American. Of course HBO wants Americans to win but they certainly aren't rigging fights and they certainly aren't focused completely on AA's. Remember Pavliks rise lol they wanted that guy to be the face of the network. They are also promoting the *** out of Mexican-Americans, one of the larger HBO demographics.

      Ah of course. I forgot Floyd is a vampire and is going to live and keep fighting for ever. That explains why he only does roadwork at night then.

        They know Williams isnt going to be a big star. Broner has a chance though.

          Refresh my memory please and correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't Showtime let Chavez come back to fight after this fight:






          Or did his next fight aired in HBO, which one was it?

          My point is with your logic, maybe Showtime was in on the whole robbery, forget the judges or anyone else.

                Williams, Alexander, Broner, these guys either lose or get gifts and HBO insist on putting them on as headliners for cards.

                The reason is obvious.
                don't forget about berto
