HBO: We Won't Pay Ward big bucks to fight a bum!!!

[Frank Ducketts]

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.

Good post.

Aren't they putting on Adonis Stevenson? Tavoris Cloud?

They're just done showing mis-matches for big money.

Ward is Irish, FYI.

And your racial victim bickering doesn't work when it's a flat out lie. I think what you meant was they're done backing boring fighters.

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.

No quite the opposite, they like GGG cause he'll fight whoever they ask him to, for very cheap. The problem is finding an opponent.

For example, his first fight for the network was as a replacement for Geale against maybe the other most avoided middle, Pirog. Then when Pirog dropped out with injury, they were hoping to schedule him vs Quillin or Macklin. Neither guy had interest so they settled on Proksa, who was the highest ranked guy to accept.

They are not dealing with Haymon or GBP, so what HBO fighters not named Ward are getting any kind of push on that network? Anyone accusing others of race baiting, usually tend to be in closet bigots so I could care less about that statement, but your out of line for calling me a liar.

How was he out of line when you were talking out of your arse? And whats with this desire for CW's all of a sudden? I thought you lot were dead against them.

Pirog has been on the shelf for a while, and Quilling was is GBP so I don't know how much effort was really put into that, depends on which side of the story you choose to roll with. Glovkin is barely a somebody now, but he's making real good money compared to other fighter with similar career trajectories. My point is HBO is playing promoter with how they choose to illuminate or dim a fighters career and that bias is turning a lot of fans off.

What are you asking here? your question isn't clear.

HBO have turned down a number of fighters for Golovkin too.

Pirog has been on the shelf since dropping out of GGG fight last august lol. HBO was very much dealing with GBP last august when Quillin was first offered, and still in business in October when approached for G's next date. I was talking about his first fight at the network dude, read that again

The money he's making is very low for a MW champ headlining HBO, WTF? He just made 330k vs Macklin's 300k. Berto made 1m+ for Freddy Hernandez when Haymon was running things at HBO, remember? Broner just made 1.5m for 11-1 underdog Paulie (who himself made 1m+). You have any sense of proportion?

Best of all, his ratings are pretty good and trending up. It's a no brainer. You really have to be a jacka$$ to complain
