A loss is a loss but I don't think Escobedo has suffered any damage. I think Escobedo is the one who made out the best. He received a big payday and earned HBOs gratitude by continuing with the fight.
HBO, in my opinion, came away looking red faced because they've been presenting Broner as the next Mayweather and he comes off looking more like Howdy Doody than than Floyd. I'm thinking HBO is looking at the whole 'happening' as a wreck they wish they could drive away from. It's amazing how much havoc one disrespectful, self centered and foolish young man was allowed to cause. I hope he gets his act together because there is no denying his great potential.
