Hbo helps out boxers who cherry-pick opponents

[William Blake]

Definately true---and the reason is Al Hayman.

showtimes usually buys fights HBO passed on or not that interested in.



case in point Mosley vs Pacquiao and Cotto vs Mayorga two of the worst fights of the year and not one person thought it was legit fights

[KnockUTheFukOut]

ABSOLUTELY!

RECENT PROOF? Them accepting that damn Martinez vs Barker fight, not saying Martinez is ducking anyone...but he does have opponents in HIS WEIGHT CLASS with some talent and could be a legit THREAT to Martinez

why not Push him to fight Pirog? last time HBO Viewers seen Pirog, he scored a very impressive KO over Jacobs...Just Saying!

ok so HBO passed on Cotto vs Vanes but showtime still bought a worse fight and a cherrypick in Mayorga vs Cotto my point still stands


showtime clearly sponsored the two bigest cherrypicked mismatches this year

But, neither fight was turned down by HBO.

So keep going with inaccurate posts.

Is that what this thread is about? Khan-Maidana II?

Haha, I just said the same thing after his last post!

I wonder how Ross Greenburg felt about that Showtime debacle. I mean if HBO Sports thought Pac-Mosley and Cotto-Mayorga were not legitimate bouts as you claim, does that mean Greenburg would still have his job today?

Bottomline, while waiting for Floyd and Pac to actually agree on anything, bidding for those 'bouts' make sense.
