I just dont understand why HBO have to over pay for this fight so much

Because its HBO and that's what it does

I'm guessing to keep him happy and on HBO. They can't really afford to lose another top fighter to Showtime.

Well HBO was the one that wanted him to fight a better opponent so they had no choice but to give the opponent what he wanted

They're investing in Ward I guess, an unbeaten American champion sits at PFP #2 and works on their commentary team.

I remember reading he was supposed to be the future for them post-Mayweather career. Not sure it will ever happen tbh, he needs that Chavez fight.

Rodriguez might be the best super middleweight in the world not named Ward, Froch, or Kessler. This is a tough fight for Andre coming off the injury, I hope he's ready but I fully expect him to get the win.

Wow...that's a big purse for a guy I don't even know.

this is a classic post from a Broner fan

[solo20]

I watch a lot of boxing...a lot...and if I never heard of this guy, he must be fighting obscure fighters on obscure networks if televised at all.

the only thing you need to know is that he sucks

Mayweather buys million dollar purses all the time for his gfs

[El Angel]

Wow, I can't believe he actually got a million dollar purse. Holding out was the smart move.
