    Man go sit your dumbass down somewhere and let the real fans talk.

      If I were Dre I would ask for Glovkin at a catch weight and see where's HBO's balls are at then. Like I said, they done backing African American fighters unless their dealing with Top Rank, so if HBO is all about not matching the undisputed kingpin at 168 with bums, the put your star player on the table as a option, seeing your willing to pay that dude a quarter mill to fight no name opponents every 90 days.

        I'd like to see that myself. Let's see how serious HBO is about him fighting a name opponent.

          In case you missed it last night,Andre Ward and his reps try to get HBO to green light Dmitri Sartison and Caleb Truax as opponents #boxing

          What a joke.

              And no, that last tweet of mine was not a joke. It seems Andre Ward is really trying to replicate the Roy Jones blue-print on HBO #Boxing

              It's no joke.

                  Thats a huge bargain for HBO, you kidding? It's a network dream, a fan pleaser that'll fight 5 times a year for combined purse about what Broner got for 11-1 underdog Paulie. Paying 5x as much for 10% better ratings = FAIL

                    If HBO is big enough to consign off on half million 6 rounds fights, then what's to the problem with Showcasing the undisputed 168 pound champ? You don't know what purse Andre is requesting, yet HBO and their internet hacks are using yellow journalism to discredit and tarnish the fighters reputation.

                    HBO is playing a vary dangerous game, which could backfire worse than the Pacquiao fiasco.

                      Your a fan of Glovkin great for you, but he's over 30 and time isn't on his side, and neither is HBO stable with whom he's doing business with. So if your fine with Glovkvin fight gloried gate keepers the rest of his career then by all means enjoy, but that doesn't mean I'm going empower HBO to act like Im some ignorant fool that can't see through their corporate agenda, which is NOT making the most relevant matches unless it favors the guy the see fit to put over.

                      It's WWF **** at its finest.
