And, they are giving blind dates to GBP. Greenburg gives dates also to Al Haymon fighters. Berto vs a mexican cop suppose to be on HBO. But, Jaunma vs Mtwaga is a joke of a fight? Come on bro. Showtime has very limited tv dates. And, Showtime also does a lot deals whit Shaw. When Arum gets his tv dates you see good fights. But, when he can not get dates. He puts on his own shows. He is the last real promoter left. GBP did just one independent PPV. Shaw has never done one, Goosen has never done one. So when they don't get tv dates and tv money. There fighters just sit out. They do not fight at all. But, I guess you cool with that?
Before HBO started catering to Alvin Haymon and GBP they were catering to Top rank and arum but he only put together a few decent fights in years, When GBP started signing alot of good fighters HBO stop giving Top rank money for them to put on any fights when they could choose from other options.
The only great fights that Arum could sell to HBO are the fights involving his own fighters with him knowing he would end up making money from both fighters purse, If not he would put on silly fights.
For once i agree with the way HBO were running thing apart from giving GBP all the dates.

Goossen counters Arum's comments regarding the contract for Pavlik-Williams in 2008 and December 5, 2009. [Click Here To Read More]
