      HBO is done. They don't want boxing anymore. I said this last year and I'll say it again...They're going ALL-IN on UFC next year.

Then Golden Boy came along and gave Top Rank a run for their money and had them on their heels before Oscar decided to play nice with Bob and fire Schaefer. Since then Golden Boy and Top Rank have done more business with PBC than they've done with each other. He's out of ideas. It's either HBO or PPV. A forward thinking person would've seen the eventual decline in PPV and invest in other ways to generate revenue....Oh, there was one person who saw that.
        Hit the nail on the head.

        That one person has completely changed the perspective of both fighter and consumer. Making disbelievers into belivers now.

          Why doesnt that ***head Arum tell us WHO the original opponents were????? Notice he doesnt say who they were!!! PBC and Showtime stomp the *** out of this card, with the exception of the Valdez/Mirriaga fight and that sure as hell isnt PPV worthy!

              The writing is on the wall people. HBO is getting out of the business of boxing. The future is PBC and CBS(Showtime). I expect a CBS/PBC deal within the next year. Bob will be getting his "fees" from PBC just like the rest of the top promotional companies (Lou, TMT, TGB, Hearn, etc.) within 2-5 years.

              I have no clue what the future holds for Golden Boy, but I'd imagine they can still make moves while Canelo is still fighting.

                GBP would be forced to go to Showtime. Takeover complete

                  Nobody is gonna buy this. It will do terrible PPV numbers.

                      Wouldn't be surprised if they got slashed to less than $20 million annually. Wouldn't be surprised at all.
