[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

how they gonna make that fight when they cant even afford bradley vs rios? that fight would cost even more

I dont think Ruslan makes or demands as much money as Bradley does.

Fk you Bob!! HBO getn tired of Bobs sht, the same 3,4 guys fightn each other in pointless rematches nd trilogies gets old after forcing fans to watch that garbage for 3yrs. Theres no suspense, no anticipation for that ish..good on HBO

Wtf is going on with HBO budget ffs. They got some back arrears child support payments they gotta start making outta the blue or they getting thrown in the slammer.

Anyone know what the HBO budget is these days?

Assuming this is Klitschko vs Fury related since the biggest fights seem to have been PPV's this year & therefore wouldn't have came outta there normal HBO budget.

Al haymon really putting pressure on hbo .....they spend a whole lot of money to compete with pbc the first couple of months...they losing the battel of boxing nwtwork hbo days as the leading guys will be over with 1 year

Matter of fact i think its the complrte opposite, their not losing the battle. Seems to me theyre preparing for the long haul; Haymon blowing through that money while HBO is saving and being more selective with theirs. Doesnt matter how much cards Haymon puts on, HBO has the better peoduct by far. CaneloCotto, GGGLemieux, PBC cant compete with that..well they could but Haymon doesnt know what hes doing

Rios is not even worth 500K..he should be grateful for whatever he gets

HBO seems to be focused on making only significant bouts, thats my guess. Not a bad route IMO, they save money by only paying for significant bouts, the money stretch plus they have an overall better product then competitors.

HBO just tired of Bobs product.

The way things are set up with Floyd about to leave the game these fighters are going to have to just become their own promoters and either sign with a Al Haymon like figure or deal directly with the networks themselves. Thats the only way their going to see the million dollar paydays per fight....in between the networks, promoters, trainers/camp staff and managers no wonder they can't come up with a number to make it worth a fighters while lol.

Brandon Rios be like:
