Why does Hbo always overrate and force fighters like Russel and Berto on us?

[_original_]

I agree, black fighters who most of the time bring horrible ratings or can't even sell out little arenas in their own hometown, are forced on the boxing public by HBO and paid millions they don't deserve (i.e. Bradley, Williams, Berto, Alexander, ect). Let the fighters earn their rep and make the matches we wanna see with a fair budget that won't screw over other big fights light the BS Alexander-Bradley fight.

onechance87, keep speaking the truth homie.

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.

Klit/Adamek
Ponce deleon/gamboa

Yes, lets blame Haymond for us watching good boxing on regular hbo like the card was garbage. But let us tune in & get bum****ed to watch Pacman beat up Margarito, Mosley & now Marquez for 60 bucks a pop, brilliant!! Seriously though. What hbo pays Haymond fighters means nothing to me. But bull**** ppv's are really offensive. I much rather see Berto Zavek for 10 bucks a month than watch Pacman beat a 40 year old, fat, bloated & slow Marquez for 60 bucks a night, real talk. That's just me though. Pachood, please do not be offended by wisdom.

Better question : why do they shun fighters who destroy their beloved prospects? Pirog and Ishida should be featured on BAD or PPV undercards.

Look at that, they're both Al Haymon fighters but it just must be a coincidence right?

c'mon man, 8 round exhibitions don't belong on B.A.D.

If you have the right connections they clearly do.

Does a shot 40 year old Sugar Shane vs the best fighter in the sport belong on ppv?

HBO is in the star making business.

yeah, cause it's the best fighter in the sport fighting and there are mofos that will pay to watch it (I didn't pay, I streamed it)...

however nobody wanna watch some prospect fighting an 8 round exhibition match on B.A.D.

put that bullshiet on youtube...
