      Golovkin is fighting in Monoco, with or without HBO. They are simply buying production rights to cover him on their HBO2 channel and not even during primetime

      So we blame Berto for not turning down the offer?.. I mean, even if the opponent selection wasn't the reason why the complaints were made of the man, the hate goes to him still?

      I'm seeing the beef with the financials you guys are speaking of.. I'm just not understanding the hate on Berto for taking full advantage and fighting guys who you fellas seem to think were respectable enough for an HBO slot.

                You're acting like HBO is paying Berto money for this.

                  It was HOF Brian Mitchell and another South African guy. They seemed out of touch at times, but I got into it. Took some getting used to

                    Nobody cares much about Berto, just didn't like the system that gave him mismatches for big money and prime dates, without having done much or bringing fans. So if you benefit from a rigged system, of course you gonna catch some flack.

                    With GGG it's the opposite, HBO is getting the best **** for the buck in boxing. His 1st 3 dates on HBO he didn't make him $1m combined, and his viewership is soaring

                      I don't care about fight and I doubt if the majority of hardcore fans care. If GGG can't get a fight with Martinez or Quillen, he should move up in weight and fight one of the top fighters at 168. Instead, he continues to feast on stiffs.
