Hershman is going to be a kid in a candy shop with his new budget and clout. Awesome, don't be surprised if there's a very noticable difference in HBO's mission going forward and quality of fights. Great news. Strange seeing good news for boxing.. I guess something awful is going to happen real soon..

How about a SUper SUPER 6: floyd, manny, sergio, cotto, khan, and canelo.

Now Rafael's posting it on his twitter.

This is by FAR the news of the day.

If a smaller networks leader is doing great things with boxing and making the larger network with a bigger budget compete more strongly, I don't see how him switching is good for boxing.

Surely that goes against strong competition, which ultimately is a good thing and brings about a higher standard?

HBO would need a billion dollars for that bunch!

Because he comes from a world where complacency wasn't an option. He'll bring the smaller network mentality to a network with vaster resources.

Hershman will do great things, there's no doubt in my mind.

Plus he looks exactly like Eddie Jemison.

GREAT HIRE!

Hopefully that means we will get more Division TOURNAMENTS!

Hopefully one at 147 for the UP AND COMING FIGHTERS and also one at 175 with: Dawson, Pascal, Cloud, Cleverly, Sillakh and Bellew or Shumenov or Chilemba

also could do one at 154 and put Saul Alvarez in it along with Austin Trout, Carlos Molina, Vanes Martirosyan, Erislandy Lara and Pawel Wolak or Demetrius Andrade...again a Tournament more for the UP AND COMING fighter, we already know what Cotto, Margarito and Williams can do so no need for them to be in a Tournament
