        I heard the only reason the UFC got the contract was because they heard a rumor NBC was going to sign which they werent, so Fox hurried a deal with the UFC.

        Either way, you seriously think the UFC is going to be able to sign with time warner? I highly doubt it, and fox wouldnt like that.

          @latimespugmire Here's the NBA's new slogan: "We're bringing boxing to TNT!"
          1 hour ago



          Looks like Top Rank has plans to capitalize on the vacuum the NBA's lockout will leave on TNT/TBS.

          Guess that is what Arum was talking about when he said this:

            It better be two good prospects going at it (like Shobox), and NOT one overhyped, protected prospect building his brand to be groomed into a future HBO fighter by destroying bums in uncompetitive bouts.

                    No clue. I thought bringing this to the attention of the scribes here would get them to investigate. Rafael says it might happen, Pacquiao's publicist hinted at it, and so have a few other sources. I don't know anyone in the industry, but there are plenty of contributors on this site who do.

                    Either way, we should know soon since the NBA season was set to start late this month. So if there's no NBA, they need to find a replacement ASAP.
