Comments Thread For: Arum: HBO Was Being Played By Schaefer and Haymon

[ddangerous]

No doubt. Berto is a warrior. I think the only issue is that HBO forced him down our throats in spite of one subpar performance after another.

Agreed. He was definitely over-hyped.

Yeah, but before those barn burners Berto was the Broner of the day. Talented but untested.

I saw Berto fight 2 times live in his hometown. They were both boring as hell, and not even a quarter of the arena was filled.

Berto couldn't draw anywhere and was being paid nicely by HBO.

True, but I would wager that since his last few fights have been pretty entertaining, he could very well draw in a decent number of viewers. I know I'd watch.

Was wondering when this old coot was gonna come put and prey on this report.

I agree with Bob on this one.. Nobody wanted to see Alexander or Thurman and they have pretty much been shoved and forced at us

Keith Thurman is good. He can box and he can punch. HBO is going to miss out on a future star when he goes.
