    They are going to miss him, as their making a huge return offer would suggest. Showtime have just taken the biggest name in boxing from their rival.
    Nah, HBO is making millions of dollars every minute just by their regular programming.

      Yeah WTF, can't B-Suth get some respect around this beeeyatch? Damn. I mean I know he ain't Floyd, but he's special in his own right. Recognize game. Leave Floyd out of this thread and lets get down to the business of REAL TALK, some straight up serious Brian Sutherland discussion.

      So where does he rank on the current P4P list?

        They do make good money.

        But losing the most watched athlete on the planet, who has been the center of their boxing programming for years, is going to hurt business.

        You don't make a last ditch counter offer for huge money if it isn't big business.

          Would it be possible to get me Sutherland's autograph? I got a feeling if he signed a pair of Reyes gloves for me then the ladies will be all over me.

            Seriously tho, I know HBO makes a **** ton of dough, but if that's the case then why would they allow this to happen? Not only are they going to lose trucks and trucks of money -- at the same time they are allowing Showtime to leap frog them as the premier boxing network.

            If it's true that HBO is rolling in the cash there is absolutely no excuse for them to have not thrown everything at Floyd to make a deal

                You know what, Mike D?

                That Ultra-Mullet takes me back.

                Camaro Iroc Z-28, Def Leopard in the tape deck, a line of triple stomped on snow bunny, bottle of Southern Comfort, and dead hookers in the trunk.

                Greatness indeed, bluh.

                    You haven't heard of "The Suth's" global impact?

                    Adopted brother. From half way across the globe.



                    You think Floyd or Manny have this kind marketing, human appeal?

                    I think not.
