    Top Rank got the #1 channel (HBO) all to themselves they could careless about GBP fights.
    HBO breaking away with Haymon/GBP team has been a blessing in disguise for fans. (I have both networks, so I'm not into SHO vs HBO.) Haymon/GBP is finally forced to come up with good fights. SHO don't have that kind of resources. Canelo, Berto... I don't think Schaefer/Haymon would have made Broner vs Reese on Showtime. Malignaggi vs Broner was a leftover that was caught in the crossfire. Again, I don't think Haymon/Schaefer would have made such fight at Showtime.

          why is it that you kill haymon/gbp fights like broner rees but dont kill TR fights like manny rios? they are both blowouts setup for the favored fighter to look good.

            I seriously think GBP cutting ties with HBO will be a huge hit for them. Top Rank now is exclusive with the biggest cable company in the country.

                But they have no one to put on there so what is purpose of having all the money in the world if you have nothing to spend it on.

                Just a saying so dont take that literally

                  Only way you can be taken seriously is to stop thinking about Floyd and base all your judgements relating to Floyd. You hate HBO because Floyd left, is it not? That's really dumb, homey.

                  I gave an example of GBP/Haymon inspired fights: Canelo and Berto fighting tomatoes for so long at HBO. These are just few among many which HBO tolerated for years whether TR or HBO promoted. HBO obviously have that kind of resources. They lose some, they win some. Showtime can't afford loses.
