HBO Cutting Its Boxing Budget In 2012

Well for those that did not know showtime is tons better than hbo boxing as it is. This only means that showtime will get better. Remember its hbo with all the overpayed fighters, not showtime.

**** cable tvs. Put fights on network TV.

HBO isn't even cable, it's subscription.

Haymon is whats wrong with HBO.

We have an abundance over his overhyped fighters taken big paydays that the don't deserve.

How long were we force fed hype jobs like Cris Arreola, Andre Berto and others?

I really hope hirshman nips this is the bud because they are already trying to force guys like Russell Jr and Broner on us.....smfh.

So sayeth the person that goes by the name top rank, how utterly truckish, big mack dumb trucking right there.

Yeah, but the guys that fight for HBO don't have a contract. They don't actually have a guarantee that they are going to continue getting televised. They can be dumped at a moment's notice, BUT YOU RUN THE RISK OF BURNING BRIDGES WITH THAT MANAGER/PROMOTER. With the Head of Showtime coming over to HBO at the start of 2012, I think we are going to see a much more exciting HBO boxing schedule. Shit like Chavez-Manfredo, Canelo-Cintron, Broner-Rodriguez doesn't cut it for me.
