What I AM talking about is Boxing in general. Not PBF. But Boxing. And how HBO set stage for a market strategy that is flawed, and only a very very VERY VERY small percentage of boxers benefit.
He's the first that comes to mind though cause he's supposed to be p4p # 1. You gotta rep when you're getting that many props.
But I do agree in that he's the epitome of a fighter taking advantage of HBO's marketing strategy. HBO does have an ideal of what "boxing should be" and it's not working, it shouldn't realy even be interfering with that stuff, just showing Boxing, not intentionally showcasing fights on a concept of their own. There job is to show fights, and good competitive matches, not show fighters they think are special. Summarizing it, HBO just needs to show good ol' Competitive Boxing.... which is what Boxing Is About.
