    The cold war is hurting Haymon fighters too because there is only one network they can fight on and as a result they aren't fighting very often. Garcia, Thurman, Porter, Peterson, Matthysse, Maidana, etc. only fight twice a year because at least in part they only have one network to fight on. They're all in their prime too.

    And the HBO head of boxing is currently trying to sound excited about doing a deal with Sauerland so that HBO can showcase --- Marco Huck.

    It's a fucked up situation on both sides and something has to give.

    One thing I forgot to mention was what Hopkins said in the ring after his last fight. He was talking about his future fights and he said something like the bottom like is I'm loyal to Showtime, loyal to Richard Schaefer and I think he said loyal to Haymon although I don't think he's signed with Haymon.

    What he didn't do was mention Oscar and Oscar is the guy who gave him points in GBP when he set GBP up. As a (minority) partner in GBP you've got to figure Hopkins knows what's going on behind the scenes so for him not to mention Oscar in that situation is interesting.

    You make a good point. HBO has had to dig deep to make fights because they aren't working with GB and Haymon. For example, Algeiri-Provo isn't horrible, but it's also not super enticing. Same with the Jennings/Glazkov. I'll be honest depending on the match-up, I'm not mad at Marco Huck. He's been in some good fights and put together a pretty good career.

    Notice Floyd said during his post fight press conference that he was looking at life outside of boxing and that he said Andre Ward and Mickey Garcia should join him as they are PPV fighters.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
