I don’t have a specific problem with this card but oh how the mighty have fallen HBO!!

I agree. This is big for an HBO card, which is kind of sad.

And it's only a rumor. HBO can't even secure Munguia if they wanted to.

The great news for new Mexican Star and WBO World Jr. Middleweight Champ Jaime Munguria is that the new Champ has only one option with Golden Boy, and that option will take place for Munguia's title defense on HBO in September. After that option is done in September, Munguia's promoter Zanfer Promotions will be handling Munguia's fights after that, without Golden Boy. Zanfer Promotions is headed up by longtime promoter Fernando Beltran from Tijuana, Mexico, and runs monthly shows in Tijuana. Beltran is advised by well known boxing brain trust and Vegas resident Sean Gibbons. Both Beltran and Gibbons have a long working relationship with Bob Arum, so maybe Munguia could end up on ESPN. HBO definitely needs new boxing talent. Munguia would be a good start for HBO in retooling their fast fading and long suffering boxing brand. But, my question, does HBO really want to be in the boxing programming business? Well, they sure don't act and or deliever a product that any longer ratifies a reason to purchase HBO by boxing enthusiasts. If HBO Boxing honcho Peter Nelson screws up the long term signing of Munguia, and he goes to Arum for ESPN, stick a fork in HBO Boxing. And I have complete confidence in Peter Nelson, he'll **** it up!
