Lol hbo isn't confident in manny???



Back when the networks got together in 2002 to stage the Mike Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis pay-per-view, they contractually agreed to allow the winner's network to secure the delayed broadcast of the pay-per-view. This time around, HBO is not willing to agree to those terms.*HBO wants both networks to have the delayed broadcast.*Insiders believe HBO is taking that position because Mayweather is the favorite to win.

Very risky, Hbo and Showtime better hope neither guy slips up and takes a loss In the mean time.

So with 100's of millions of dollars on the line they are ****ing worried about 1-2 million from delayed broadcast, if that. Holy ****.

Leave it to the dying networks of boxing to **** up the biggest fight ever.

If Pac fights Frankie Gomez or whoever Arum has as a plan B everything will be fine. Mayweather vs Khan or Cotto will work .

All of a sudden everyone here is a network producer expert.

My question is, since when did Nathaniels have an inside info? Looks like to me he is just putting everything he read and made it a story. We know both networks are sorting things out, while Watson made an statement that he knows the fight will happen because of the magnitude and monetary involve, he even said that this fight is bigger than Tyson vs Lewis. The Superbowl of boxing. I tend to believe Watson than Nathanielz.
