Hershman: American must stand by Floyd just like our military men and women Therefore we will draft Floyd to fight Manny in a war. Either Floyd serve the USA or face punishment like Muhammed Ali.

i dont want to see mma on hbo

[TheMexHurricane]

I hope he does away with the Mexiphobia at HBO. Especially since Mexican fans contribute so much money to see their PPV's. HBO has been so foolish.

Mexicans have been robbed in all their superfights of the last 12 years on HBO

De La Hoya-Trinidad
De La Hoya-Moseley 2
Castillo-Mayweather 1
Juan Manuel Marquez-Pacquiao 2

[spoonwars]

Hopefully he will do it right for the fans and not just the money makers.

What about HBO personnel jumping into Showtime?

[KickAzz]

hopefully he forces floyd to fight pac, and forces sergio to fight pirog.

[Rocky Rode]

I know this has already been said a few times, but I'll say it again.

Please keep MMA away from HBO.

[Ringlife]

I think he will make all the best fights that can be made he did it with SHOWTIME with a little Budget that he had there so I think he will come through with the best fights in 2012 with HBO.
