Originally posted by CaneloMaidana View PostI think HBO is perceived as having p4p fighters, I have Thurman, Rigo, Frampton and Inoue in my p4p.
I'm not saying there isn't some room for disagreement, but for most of the widely used rankings HBO has virtually the whole f#cking top ten.
For instance the Transnational rankings which hardcore fans love to hype
http://www.tbrb.org/p4p/
1. Gonazlez (HBO)
2. Kovalev (HBO)
3. Crawford (HBO)
4. GGG (HBO)
5. Ward (HBO)
8. Bradley (HBO)
And I'm sure you'd find a similar outcome amongst the other widely used rankings if you looked. There is a lot of spinning with opinions around here with many subjects, but you can't spin rankings all that much & HBO owns the P4P rankings.

And Top Rank is about to dip on them so take out Crawford and Bradley they are down to 4~ with Kovalev and Ward facing each other one takes a hit, Gozalez is a little guy who people don't care about historically in the US and Golovkin can't get a worthwhile fight partly because HBO's ass budget.
Canelo is their biggest star but he is not fighting on regular HBO again and he really needs more star making fights Cotto was a good start but he needs more.
That P4P thing is a facade and won't be true for much longer.

And bro I ain't predicting the future, I'm showing you the present. The future could look like a lot of things, but right now HBO is doing well on the P4P list & bad with competitive fights.

HBO would rather do fights on regular cable. But promoters and fighters are too greedy and HBO had to say yes to make fights happen.

I'd always thought the whole 'HBO/PBC' thing came across pretty even on here.
Over here, i don't even know who shows the international fights until a few days before the fight when i check their websites.
As for Sky or BoxNation..it doesn't bother me. I just tune in and watch the fights.

What kind of Boxing fan nitpicks the networks?
You'd think a fan would be happy to watch fights regardless of the channel.
