I think Hbo are scrambling a bit. Carl deserves every penny he gets but he should be throwing the hook out and seeing if he can get Showtime interested. Pretty soon Hbo will be feeding off its own body fat as far as boxing is concerned. Arum does not need them really. Manny is on his way out of the building, Marquez will always be a kind of free agent and their days of even telling Martinez who he can fight are in the past. If I'm Froch I'm not taking the first offer w/o putting out a serious feeler.
