Killer - this is a FANTASTIC post. I was just wondering the same thing and planned on doing the research myself, but you beat me to it. Is there a site where you took this information or is this something you put together on your own? Is there a correlation with who the biggest stars are in boxing at the moment? By stars, I mean objective criteria e.g. ticket sales, viewers who tune in to their fights etc. Do you have comparable figures for past years?

Have you ever seen stats for what percentage of the fighters on HBO were from which promoter/advisor?

I want to include this in the letter to HBO I plan on drafting soon.

Maybe you could pm me information if you think that would be a better forum or whatever.

Good work!

This is just information I gathered from HBO's web site compiled in Excel. I am certainly interested in taking this another step further on your recommendations. I would also like to do this with espn and showtime.

Do they have information for previous year's as well?
