HBO doesn't need anymore stars-it needs better fights. I hope WCB and BAD are improved as well. HBO can build around broner, chavez jr (not really reliable right now) and ward. The kessler/froch fight will be great. the only loss is floyd/canelo, if both are undefeated-will be the biggest selling fight this year.

    SHowtime overpaid for floyd but they need credibility and floyd is still widely regarded as the best fighter in the world. But I hope their fights dont suffer. frankly, they've been putting on better fights than HBO for a while and signing floyd only expands their options.
    :manyWORD:blah blah blah... Truth be told Floyd had to leave HBO. He wasn't worth Keeping. :WORD: heheheheeee

      spin it however you want. no one cares what network manny is on. his next fight is months away in china, on the undercard of some guy who hasn't had his pro debut yet.

      we'll discuss when manny gets off of medical suspension.

        Since PBF left toprank, someone tell me how many of toprank's fighters he has fought? Everyone he so called ducked just so happened to be a toprank fighter. Arum works on the old promoter standard of not risking his fighter unless he has rights on the fighter they are facing. Bob isn't trying to let GBP or PBF make any money off of him period.

          There's no way Floyd fights 6 times in 30 months. Not a chance in hell.

            This is a good move for Mayweather. Probably looking to maximize his intake in the last two years of his career.

            The 24/7 thing was tired as **** anyway. I was sick of hearing about Sarcadosis. The Cotto-Trout 360 was better than any 24-7 IMO.

              Gawd Damn this forum!

              Up to 6 fights within a 30 Month period.

              He is not obligated to fight 6 times, just has the option to do so within that period under Showtime/CBS.

                  We can say the same exact thing about GBP..the problem here is that since Gary Shaw, Zanfer, and others are more than happy to hand over the entire event to GBP those gbp fighter fight outside of their family..notice one thing you are accusing Top Rank of doing the same exact thing GBP copied from them..GBP will not allow anyone else to host a championship bout if they can't control it then it won't happen but the irony is that Top Rank let Rigo get his fight but you say that bob stops GBP from fighting his guys? The fact is Schaeffer and Oscar make their money from milking the sponsors just like Arum does. So calling one guy jam and calling the other guy peanut butter and pretending they aren't ingredients of a sandwich is ludicrous.
