            February/March: Golovkin? On HBO? Or GGG staying on PPV?
            April: HBO PPV - Pacquiao
            May: HBO PPV - Canelo
            June: HBO PPV - Kovalev vs Stevenson - tentative (Duva says HBO & Main Events want to make that fight on PPV)

            PPVs in three consecutive months? Three PPVs in the first 6 months of the year (FOUR if GGG stays on PPV)? NOT GOOD for us boxing fans and paying customers.

            Seems like HBO's budget is shrinking again. Why else would they try to do Kovalev-Stevenson on PPV?
            I don't know if their budget is shrinking, but with these PPVs, their bank account will be getting FAT.

              Who said GGG is on ppv? di you see how much his last fight did? doubt it.



              Kovalev vs stevensen is PPV worthy. I would pay for pascal too.

                I don't really get Kovalev vs Pascal II. Usually, rematches happen because the first fight was close. Kovalev stopped Pascal, & hardly got hurt himself.

                  Kovalev vs Pascal is pointless and a waste of time.

                  Kovalev won decisively, and Pascal has done nothing in the meantime to merit a rematch or to make anyone think the result would be any different a second time. (In fact, Pascal looked pretty average against Gonzalez.) There is no reason to do a rematch other than the fact that Main Events can't find another decent opponent so they're recycling Pascal.

                    If they wanna cut their budget, HBO should just fire Jim Lampley.

                    I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to find someone younger, cheaper, and more knowledgeable since Lampley don't know **** about boxing.
