Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostDon't change the subject. It's clear as day that Max is an HBO lapdog. He was forced to apologize the last time he told it like it is after the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. And in his apology he justified Pac going for the cash grab. But suddenly it's wrong for Pac to go after a cash grab? Where was the criticism from Max when Pacquiao took the Bradley fight nobody wanted to see? That was a cash grab too. It's announced that the fight isn't on HBO and suddenly Max says it's a cash grab. Naw, I was born at night but not last night.

but yes, this is a pathetic fight.
only way this fight is forgiven in the future is if pacquiao eventually fights crawford or the floyd rematch happens.

unfortunately, i think ward - kovalev will still do less buys. i really hope i'm wrong about that. i'll be happy if they even get in the ring, frankly.
Pacquiao and Vargas simply aren't what HBO is interested in marketing atm.
They been shunning most of Arum's fighters for a while now. With some exceptions.

Originally posted by The Big Dunn View PostDisagree. Prior to that they discussed Manny/Crawford on 1st take and Max talked about Manny always taking on the best guys and was very complimentary.
Once it was Vargas and HBO wasn't doing it, he killed the fight calling it a cash grab and then topping thta by saying Manny was taking the lesser fight for less money, completely contradicting what he said previously.

Did someone say Pacquiao vs Vargas distributed by ESPN PPV is a blockbuster announcement lol???
I'm rooting on Arum & Haymon working together to throw a Manny fight on national TV. That should show what sorta audience boxing can get on national TV even with Manny's declining popularity & skill. Probably extremely unlikely, but thats more of a thing I'd view as a blockbuster announcement. Or Showtime buys out Manny's contract or is freelancing Manny for this particular PPV. Thats blockbuster level ****.

Arum said if HBO passes on this fight, then manny is a free agent.
So showtime doesn't have to buyout manny contract

Obviously Manny's value isn't what it was, but for sure he's a guy who has value to HBO one would think. I mean even if its just to throw him in with TC early next year to potentially boost TC's popularity & resume if TC wins (which I have doubts on happening, but I'm probably in the minority with that opinion these days).
Peter Nelson for real don't like Arum lol. But I think Nelson is making a bad move if he loses Manny.
**** man HBO dropping Manny like this might mean they are legit going out of the boxing business cuz that move makes zero sense to me regardless if Manny is ****talking gay people or wanting to kill all the weed smokers. Manny is one of the all time biggest draws in boxing history & he's still probably in the top 3, top 5 draws in the sport. I mean how many cats are selling even 400k or whatever PPV's vs Tim Bradley?
