Read above. This is where the battle between the 2 companies originated according to ESPN.

I'm hopeful the cold war ends and they do so with a MOnster card in September:

Floyd (assuming he beats Maidana) v winner manny/tim

Danny G v Provodnikov (assuming both stil JWW champs)

Mares v DOnaire

As much as I'd like to see that, I doubt in 6 months HBO, Showtime, GB and TR are gonna be



There's so much red tape to go through with 2 promotions, but then adding two separate networks who seem to be promoters in their own way, a collab PPV would have to be done with a fine comb and getting the money situated for both promotions and networks won't be any less than a cluster****.

If anything, if they're going to continue the route of fighting within stables (which I don't see changing for a while) have an annual Collab PPV and put the best of each promotion against the other. In a way, it does add some type of anticipation for the end of the year if the right matches are made.

Dunn it's against the NSB rules to suggest Manny has done any wrong in any situation it was Floyd fault he signed with both Golden Boy and Top Rank at the same time he knew Floyd would duck him in the future so he tried to sign with both.

I don't recall him saying he wouldn't work with HBO anymore.

Either way, there was definitely animosity. Remember when they were going back and forth in the media and Arum killed him the cross dressing line? Oscar has been tamed ever since.

I am just hopeful. But at this point, with CBS Pres Moonves declaring war on HBO since they hired Herschman you are correct.

This whole situation is flat out ridiculous.

I know. Thats why I posted the article homie. Some Pac fans have a way of repeating lies so much that they begin to believe those lies are the truth. The also have the uncanny ability to contract selective amnesia when the mood hits.

My bad, you're talking Schafer but I was thinking De La Hoya.

Astounded that ANYONE is actually holding Pacquiao accountable for something....ANYTHING! Good find, I missed this article.

Please, don't give them any ideas. This is actually something that would be considered logic around here by many.
