Mayweather Jr Blast HBO

[CFH]

I don't think it's so much about race as it is about excitement. PBF has never been considered a terribly exciting fighter, and many of his fights didn't have much of a competitive element to them because he was far superior to his opposition. Pavlik is being pimped by HBO because he's a very exciting fighter who is willing to take on all comers, with a story-line behind him which many American's can relate to. No one can really relate to being raised in a boxing family and of being put in the gym from the age of 5, but many can identify with hardship and battling tooth and nail to overcome that hardship, whatever form it may have taken.
Exciting fighters bring more viewers and more cash to HBO, so they promote them (and whoever else is hot at the moment) in order to make as much money as they possibly can.

Im a Mayweather fan but that was utter BS

[Phil]

just proves to me that Mayweather will be back fighting, he retires no one really cares, so to make some noise he comes out with this bs. He can't stand not been in the limelight.

No idea where this has come from

HBO announcers used to cream over mayweather and at times make him appear almost invincible.

Only time i genuinely had a grievance with them was the 1st castillo fight which lederman scored to castillo by a couple of rounds when i and most people had it for mayweather which it was rightfully given to.

In all honesty the only bias i ever see from HBO seems to be their insistance that the busier fighter is always winning the tight rounds despite the fact the other guy has usually done far more damage.

I swear if lederman had scored all of hopkins fights officially he`d now have a record of like 41-13

[Jesse James]

Ironically, I think the HBO announcer who has been most critical of Floyd has been Manny Steward.

I don't see how Mayweather done more damage on Castillo he mostly only landed jabs, the only time he actually stood and traded and done damage on Castillo was in the 11th round, and even in that round he was out punched. I thought Castillo won by 1 point but Lederman's scorecard of Castillo winning by 4 points was ridiculous, but in my mind Mayweather didn't do enough to take the champions title away from him and this is a Mayweather fan talking here. I know Mayweather had a shoulder injury and he won 2nd fight convincing but i still think Mayweather should have 1 loss on his record.

Castillo wasnt half as effective in those middle/late rounds as they were making out, sure he was the busier fighter and hurt floyd on a few occasions. But they gave like 7 of those last 8 rounds to JLC when floyd had taken at least 3 of them.

Another instance of lederman judging with his heart and not his head was the marq-barrera fight.

Everyone could clearly see marquez was winning the fight with ease accept for harold who was scoring every single close round to MAB.

I gave all but 2 rounds to JMM and was relieved as fuck when the judges also saw it that way as i was briefly beggining to think i was going mad

[Pavlik]

If PBF could just comeback and face Cotto and Margarito then he would probably get more respect, it's almost like when people criticize Pacquiao for not facing JMM 3rd time and Joan Guzman

I thought Barrera vs Marquez was a very close fight personally and theres no way on earth Marquez won 10 rounds out of 12, and i just can't see how you could have Mayweather winning 3 rounds after the 5th round, i would be curious what rounds you gave Mayweather after the 5th round.

Exactly. Great point made here and I think your right he will be back!
