That is really really sad... when a fighter thinks he should have LOST A FIGHT to better his career... What kind of person is Bob Arum, to make a fighter get those kind of negative thoughts in his head? Bob Arum and Top Rank need to go away period. Even looking at the Bradley and Marquez fight coming up... that ppv is going to bomb big time.. and it's not because Bradley or Marquez are bad fighters.... I mean look at Marquez.. He is a hall of famer for sure.. but thanks to Bob Arum and Top Rank.. that fight is going to bomb just like their careers are bombing..

Rigo should simply go up in weight division.

Ward is:

1. American, good on the mic
2. A decent local draw
3. In a weight class that would get TV time regardless. HBO never showed fights below feather, until Donaire crossed over from Showtime

This is inaccurate - HBO has featured 122 pounders since Eric Morales won his WBC super bantamweight title in 1999. Manny Pacquaio also came on the HBO scene as a super bantamweight

So you have to go back 10+ years to find HBO televising 122 other than Donaire. Thanks for proving my point
