    why does it matter what HBO is paying them?

    the commentary was ****riderish but thats nothing new
    it matter cause hbo spends all there money on these slick africans,And
    when a fight comes up like angulo against vanes they cant even buy it
    cause there broke.

      Its like Hbo seems to favor a certain type of fighter and even though that fighter's only attribute is "fast hands" they pretend they're the complete package when they're either totally one dimensional or unproven.

      Kellerman did this for years with different fighters. He was the first one that declared Zab Judah to be a genius.

        Why must they always push the same kind of thing down our throats?

        Haven't they learned anything from the departure of Ross Greenburg? Its like they still want to follow a formula of failure. Pushing the same kind of fighters that destroyed the network and ruined their good standing in the boxing community.
        it's al haymon's ****in fault. he has gayweather in his pocket, so hbo has to put haymon's stable on their airwaves or they don't get gayweather.

          HBO probably spends more money on Chavez Jr than on Berto and that's a real waste of money right there.

              I don't care about the ratings I wanna see real talent or elite vs elite not Chavez jr vs Sebastian ***ing Zbik.
