    pacquiao vs Bradley and cotto vs martinez didn't come out of the hbo budget because they were ppv's. but that is a damn good question as too where did all the money go because there weren't any big fights on regular HBO this year.

      Right, and what did Showtime spend their money on?

      Fonfara/Stevenson, a 2+ million tuneup card
      Garcia/Salka, over a million in fights that shouldn't even be considered tune-ups because they're so bad

      Guerrero/Kamegai... almost 3 million

      Shoot, even their arguably best summer card was overpaid to Bika/Dirrell. The main event didn't even get any love

      Showtime spending better doe. That's why they cancelled Stevenons's September 27th card

              You guys are absolute fairies.

              SHO sucks. Their cards all year have been atrocious. What does that have to do with HBO? If PPV does not come out of their budget, than their 2014 budget has produced absolutely nothing of note besides Crawford-Gamboa and Hopkins-Kovalev. That's pretty pathetic, I can only see that budget getting smaller and smaller.

              More Golovkin bum fights ahead of us. The fanboys will cream themselves regardless.
