Ken Hershman will be fired...

[TheGoldenBoy]

This is more about Golden Boy attempting to avert Canelo's forthcoming abysmal PPV marketability. If Cotto gets better offer from HBO against Martinez, Schaefer is screwed. Worst part is what if Canelo loses his next fight against a nobody?

GBP had to get Cotto on board ASAP. Otherwise...

Hey, ****, how about making Lara vs Canelo next year?

You contradict yourself in this ridiculous post.

[Bullrider]

I thought GBP is doing well.

They brag about being better than TR and they have the most stars in their stable. So why do you need Cotto? An ex-TR fighter.

Stop avoiding Lara, Mr Schaefer. If you're a better promoter, like you claim you are, you don't need Cotto, who is past his prime.

[TheGoldenBoy]

Why do they need Cotto? They don't, but Cotto is the 3rd biggest draw out there. Why do business with him-- he's a free agent.

You want Canelo to NOT fight Cotto- a fight worth millions of dollars. You want Canelo to fight Lara- who has zero fan base and is a high risk match.

You don't understand the boxing business.

Let Golden Boy make the fights happen, and you just sit there pretending you know what you're talking about... OK?

Hershman won't get fired because he will say there ratings are better which they should be with how many more people have HBO than Showtime.

Hbo should just get him for a martinez fight then give him to showtime lol

A monkey can run HBO Sports and they would still have decent ratings. HBO doesn't care. If you **** up that badly, by overpaying money for a fight, just to hype a guy back up... and that fighter then leaves for the rival network... that's a big mistake.
