No man you sign up for cable you can get HBO pretty much fir free. I have both so i dont care. Most who have HBO dont care whos fighting they just wanna watch sports

Your claim is clearly without basis.

If the record high ratings were due viewers "just wanting to watch sports", then the ratings for all matches, regardless of who are fighting, should be higher.

I personally feel embarassed, as a boxing fan, to have such a scandalous decision be witnessed by so many people.

This explains why Chavez Jr "won" the fight. There is no way that Arum is going to let someone like Brian Vera mess with one of his cash cows.

For your accusation to be correct, Arum must have had a very, very good reason to have Pacquiao (another "cash cow") lose to Bradley.
