Comments Thread For: Angel Garcia Attacks HBO: No Love For American Fighters

[Doctor_Tenma]

He seems to take offense to foreign fighters coming to the US and making millions here. I wonder why that angers him? Foreign fighters are some of the most exciting and explosive, most definitively fun to watch. I guess he'll be bitter for a very, very long time.

Even with that said, what he said about HBO is false. Boring American fighters keep getting dates on HBO continuously, check Dawson, Bradley, Hopkins etc.

And didn't he just call Judah the 'N' word earlier today?

No, in his own words, he seems to take offense in how Americans are mistreated in foreign countries, but the foreigner is well respected here. Again, his words, don't know how true it is or not, Danny should know as he's fought overseas before.

I'm pretty sure very little of the 300k for Shimming came from HBO. Also, the main reason they aired it was for Brian Viloria, an American Olympian, and for Roman Martinez, a Puerto Rican.

so only 100million watched? lol still what 20x more than any american olympian could draw on tv? lol. and a full arena. an american olympian headlining here couldn't get 5,000 people in the seats. sorry but those are the facts.

Ha you don't even know it was that, someone posted a link on ******** boxing saying it was 14 million, sorry but Bob lies a lot so neither of us know but it sounds like you like the kool-aid.

say what you want about him but he's right.... hbo would rather go to china and show some guys in his 30's leaving the amateurs instead of showing american fighters from our country just because they have certain promoters or managers.....


i didnt watch the card hbo had in china, didnt care for it one bit

S T F U...Your son has fought a bunch of over the hill fighters who can still draw a crowd...most of them weren't american fighters!! Someone needs to stick a muzzle on this cat..yeah let your son keep fighting on showtime cashing easy checks while being massively and grossly overrated against the same boxers you hate HBO made into stars at one point or another. Here's a little known fact..on HBO your son would've been forced to take on a legit contender by now.

Yet Danny ain't ever pulled not even 10% of what Shimming brought in viewer wise.

I'm not a Danny fan but if you didn't see a problem with putting on that four round exhibition over Viloria-Estrada than I don't know what to tell you.

I think to some degree he has a point. It's all politics though. Any big corporation or company for that matter will always ride the wave of the next big thing so they can live off of the hard work given prior. Definitely has a point about HBO being bias with their commentary. That's some B.S.

Why does it matter where fighters are from? I thought this was 2013, not 1850

It was kind of laughable to have that as a main event when other proven guys fight on espn and **** lol
