Harsh? Maybe, but Rant... indicators are that this isn't even half as harsh as how HBO and Top Rank honcho, Bob Arum have laid it on him after that fiasco of a fight.

On the spot, HBO stripped him for any future "showcase" gigs...and am pretty sure Mr. Top Rank's levy had a thing or two to do with that!

Meanwhile, Joshua must've been a good boy as of late, as he now finds himself back on the groove with HBO and Top Rank... however lowly-leveled his current billing now is.
