      I wonder how much pressure was placed on ken to stand down? Hope we get an even more aggressive boxing enthusiast.

        WOw this is big news. Haymon fighters may be allowed back on HBO now, which means we could start getting the fights we want to see.

        Jake, any word if Herschman stays on to run boxing?

                The new boss is gonna work a deal
                With haymon to get fights like thurman vs porter and garcia vs broner to happen.

                Its the way boxing goes.
                Too much money to be made.

                  Nice. He's ending his run big for sure. Cotto vs Canelo (rooting for this to do 1M+ buys so we got a clear & dominate PPV king with Manny going & Floyd gone) & Fury vs Klitschko (hopefully this is as fun a fight as I'm expecting).

                  Anyone got any speculation on who's gonna take over?

                    It will be interesting to see who takes over at HBO Sports now.
