I don't see HBO changing it's course. You'll still see primadonna guys taking the easy route for millions. The lesser known hungry fighters and the fans suffer. But it should have been a good thing in that HBO should have realized that stars don't sell... but "BOXING DOES." Instead HBO figures MMA will sell, when it could have changed it's market strategy to "good fights" instead of "stars." I love stars, but Boxing is my true love. Erik Morales lost BIG, I'm going to miss him, but I'm not going to leave boxing because he retired.

HBO should have learned, who' gives a shyte about stars in easy fights where they smile at the camera after their easy expected victory? If anything it creates a jealousy with each fight, where boxers become spoiled brats with Ferraris for toys. While the viewers see yet another easy victory smile.

It's no wonder these athletes feel indestructible at times, in that nothing can touch them inside their mansion, while they take on easy mandatory and get paid a contracted amount because HBO believes in force-feeding stars on the tube.
