BOXINGSOCIALIST EXCLUSIVE: BOB ARUM 'HBO WOULDN'T TAKE MIJARES FOR DONAIRE' - Boxing Socialist

HBO makes a good decision by not accepting Mijares. Only to follow it up with a bad one. Mathebula is no more of a threat than Mijares
Agreed, chasing those trinkets ayeQuote:

Donaire barely draws any fans or ratings, he's in no place to get money from HBO for B-level opponents.
This is another example where HBO falls in love with a guy because he's talented and doesn't force him to fight legit dangerous opponents.
Yep yet neither sho or hbo wanted bute froch....makes total sense
There both mismatches. What would be the fucking difference?Quote:

Hbo should not be picking fights period! or deciding directly or indirectly who fights whom. These broadcaster/promoters have done more to fuck over this sport than anyone along with their conjoined twin PPV.
