    Why ?
    Because their hurting and know it
    They realize their not that leading network on the fight game ( ironic it’s the name of Lampley’s show ) no pun intended
    The only way to be # 1 is by working with all people , promoters or ABC ‘s
    History repeats itself
    HBO will rule again as soon as they get rid of fughnut
    That was the mistake they made

      And another thing. BJS isn't signed to another network and neither is Charlo. He fights on Showtime but isn't signed to them

        GGG has IBF mandatory

        Saunders is with Warren

        Canelo coming off a year inactivity and knee surgery.

        And what's to say that Charlo is a realistic opponent for Jacobs?

          Because he just fought last week and looking to fight in August and doesn't have any obligations, injuries, promoter, or network issues. What make you think any of the fighters HBO named are more realistic than Charlo? None of them are

            All good
            But what other way to promote two fighters who are nowhere close to be known or heard of to the casual fan
            BJS will attract attention but only over the pond ( if his fight with Lemieux was over there , there would of been no coverage or interest )
            Charlo is not known here and won’t attract an arena full or even 10 000
            Kind of like a free agent and yeah will take any networks money
            Not arguing here but some promoters only work with some networks and that just fughs us
            You know ESPN got rid of FNF right and now cause working with a promoter (Arum) mostly , they have had some nice cards
            Boxing back in on prime time
            Not sure if I got my point across
            Pretty whacked at the moment

              Well they put the 3 main guys in the division and had an option for someone else. What u want a 10 option poll that names every decent contender at mw?

                And neither of the 3 they named are realistic options for Jacobs. The poll is about his NEXT fight not some future fight.

                GGG has a mandatory

                BJS is with Warren

                Canelo is coming off an injury and a year out of the ring

                None of those are realistic

                  All those fights could be made. Isn't Jacobs now the wba mandatory anyway? Canelo will probably face ggg, but he could fight anyone. Besides, asking fans who they want to see him fight, means just what it says...who would you like to see him fight, doesn't mean it will happen. Personally, I think a ggg rematch would be at the top of the list for his fans.

                      GGG can only fight at most 3 times a year. While Jacobs and Charlo are waiting for GGG to finish with Canelo in September they should fight each other then the winner could fight the GGG-Canelo winner.
