Comments Thread For: HBO Sports Head Speaks on Early 2018 Plans For Network

Hope Danny fights Murata! The HBO deal limits who he can fight, so Murata is the best choice! I know Danny and Boo-Boo are homies, but there's a lot dough on the table, for Jacobs vs. Andrade (Giants vs. Patriots in Brooklyn) on the table! I'm just sayin! Lol!

Danny will fight lame ass Spike O'Sullivan.

HBO really need to sign Joshua this year.

I'd make a bet on that. With Hearn's relationship with HBO & HBO doubling Showtime's offer (which they had to match) for Joshua's last fight I think its just a matter of when not if.

There was a rumor that some "new" entity in boxing is looking to offer Joshua big money once Joshua's deal with Matchroom is up (which I believe is sometime in the summer iirc). I can only assign that to be UFC/Zuffa Boxing as I'm not aware of anyone else entering boxing with a stack of cash to spend in 2018. Thats the only thing that could alter HBO getting Joshua I think & I tend to think thats a longshot to go down.

Are the Zuffa brothers still involved?
I thought they got out of the fight game
I know the bag carrier (Dana) wants to get in on the game especially after seeing the kind of money that’s there for the taking
Personally I think UFC is pretty much done ( not enough money for the risk & cant have a big card all the time )

Yeah, I didn't realize Murata was with Top Rank (ESPN) so he won't be facing Jacobs on HBO! I don't know if Jacobs made the right move, unless he didn't want to fight Charlo and Derevyanchenko!
