    I said headlining. As in main event for telecast. You knew who I meant and if you didn't then try following sport before writing

      Wow. When Berto and Haymon infested fights were killing boxing at HBO these clowns were nowhere to be found. Canelo, Broner and others benefited from that.

      Wherever Mayweather goes, worshipers go. That seems clear as saran wrap. If Mayweather says jump off a cliff, these clowns will jump.

        So you agree with a 6 rounder as a quality fight to be main event?

        And I can say whatever Floyd is against you haters will be for it, full force. If Floyd says I hate yellow shirts y'all would buy all the yellow shirts you can find.

        Oh but this isn't about Floyd but thank you for mentioning him.

          Its on HBO 2, and they'r just televising gradivich vs Munoz and Estrada vs melindo. Its in China so Shiming is automatically the last fight. They have absolutely no control over that. Why people cannot wrap their heads around it i dont know. Its not an HBO event, its a shiming event that they're simply televising

          Berto is about to fight Karass as a main event on the same day and will probably get paid $1 mil for it. Meanwhile The guys on HBO 2 will receive pennies if anything from HBO 2

            i know exactly what you're talkin about...HBO is trying to build a new star by tapping into a 1 billion people market...if you dont understand their attempt to expand the audience then i suggest you take a business class before replying



            whats the point of televising Russel's 6 round fights other than to please Haymon's power plays?

              its a horrible horrible hbo card. even worse than anything with berto attached to it.

                    These Chinese people here in the states are too busy buying houses and ******** on the Lakers to care about some Chinese fighter on HBO. Or are they????
