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.
