Schaefer sounds like a butthurt moron.. Hey a-s-s clown, how bout u stfu n do you instead of whining like a little biaatch about what HBO is doing. Seriously he sounds like an enraged ex girlfriend who is pissed cause she's now realizing her ex is getting along just fine without her, so now instead of moving on all she can do is hate hate hate. LMFAO @Schaefer.

I think what we are seeing is GBP taking a step back from their stance. Lets face it. GBP and Al tried to strong arm HBO. We all saw it happening for the past few years. It was not shocking to me when HBO said enough was enough. That was only the final straw. We saw the buildup taking place long before. We saw Arum *****ing to the Media on how HBO was up GBP's a$$ and giving them most of the dates. GBP was playing tough forcing HBO to give them a certain number of fights per year etc. How were they forcing it? Most likely by threatening to take their business elsewhere. Over time they started putting more fights on showtime hoping HBO would come crawling on their hands and knees. Instead they got a middle finger from them!LOL

The Difference between GBP and Arum? Arum is a snake and will willingly admit to being so. GBP tries to act like the good guy but everyone knows that under the presentation, is a worse type of snake ready to bite.

sick post ...green!!

Schaefer is burning bridges... I don't think we'll see a GBP fighter on HBO for a while

Well if it all kicked off because of the Saul fight vs the Chavez fight then I'm with HBO on that instance but the GBP has the right to move even though HBO feels its sheisty. It happens all the time in sports. My Bears just did it to Urlacher, 9ers to Rice and Montana and there's a long list. HBO would do the same if given the chance, can't cry about it but hell yeah they did right by not picking up the Saul fight.

GBp/Showtime needs to grow a pair and stop whining.

Did they actually thinkg Canelo-Lopez farce was going to get top priority over Chavez Jr.-Martinez?

Chavez Jr. had a monster year for HBO in 2012. Just look at the stats. They were going to match him up with a legit champion in Martinez.

Any real boxing fan would tune into watch that fight instead of the farce that GBP tried to feed everyone by giving Canelo a 140 lber...

Seriously It proved to be a success based on the PPV numbers. I think it did like 400 K or something.

Showtime needs to grow up.

well Canelo vs Lopez did a mill 400k viewers in showtime, eventhoug it was a mistmatch and up against Chavez vs Martinez, that goes to show you that it would of being good for HBO to at least give Canelo another date.

[whoseyourdaddy]

on HBO. It remains to be seen what kind of numbers Broner does on Showtime.

they got Canelo that did just about the same #s vs a no threat guy. so I think he is going to make at least over 2 mill vs Trout.

[Russian Crushin]

He's willing to sit down withy the media to discuss anything with HBO or Arum to try to squash this crap and that's a bad thing?

Plus I read this different. I saw a confident team with nothing to hide calling out the big boys to come back your **** up.

Nothing says "I want to squash this crap" then going to the media ****ting on HBO and calling Arum an old stoner moron.

It did 1.04 on Showtime, which is equivalent to ~1.57 on HBO. Thats a huge number but its also the highest since 2010 and 2nd highest since 2007. Its not doing 2 mil on showtime but would probably do 2 mil on HBO
