Pathetic......

This is why boxing is dead in america...

I think they are trying to kill off all the competing promoters.

If Roc Nation, Haymon's crew, etc keep blowing their money foolishly while HBO is penny pinching...at the end of the day who do you think will be the one left standing?

the company owned by the media oligarchy of course....



of course a _____ media oligarchy member....

I agree, this fight has no business being PPV.

You're giving thema a little too much credit. They simply want to kill off boxing tand probably hop on the much cheaper MMA bandwagon. White and the other UFC owners make a killing off of thei fighters, while paying them peanuts. HBO wants in. They're telling boxers and boxing fans = PPV or nothing. Fans will keep saying no, PPV's will keep bombing and what will follow is boxing being removed from HBO entirely OR, fighters asking for less money to be able to fit in HBO's boxing budget. HBO either wants MMA or wants boxers to accept MMA type purses, or all fights will go to PPV (which will bomb)

You're onto something there for sure. They want pay for boxers to come down.

That's why I think they want Haymon out of the picture.

Should've fought a guy like Brook, GGG, Khan, or Bradley.
