    Is Pac not a big enough draw? Is his career coming to a end??
    He just got knocked out cold.

    If he didn't get knocked out and knocked out JMM he would be enough for HBO, but his loss set him back big time among the casual fans who only tune in as bandwagoners.

        Who said that? Floyd?? Let him do whatever he wants!! He's not getting my money! I can live with HBO alone! Which is good! Coz I like
        HBO better! Then we have Donaire also!

            because

            they want more than 2 major events a year.
            pacquiao is on his way out.
            broner has star potential that would be foolish to ignore.

              This pretty much sums it up.

                I have to agree with this fool cixthree, Nonito can't sell jack and he is already 31 years old, Pacquiao was already a star in boxing at 24 years old. Nonito hasn't even had a ppv on hbo yet, and can't fill up seats, Filipinos do not support him the way they do Pacman.

                  Thats not a bad idea. Being they try to make this clown out to be the next Floyd. Let Pacquiao beat his brains out and show that if he is like Floyd than floyd will to suffer the same fate. Then Floyd (given he can grow some nuts) can fight Manny as revenge for beating his son up!

                    did it ever cross your mind that broner is a better fighter than the one dimensional pacquiao? thats probably why he's not good enough for HBO.

                      No doubt Pac is a more fun fighter, but he didn't have any ppvs until he hit 130. And he was getting good numbers, but nowhere near superstar till DLH. Same with Floyd.

                      When was the last hbo ppv at 122 or under?
