Like Moralez vs Diaz last year, HBO was not interested in the fight, but the promoter was going to do the PPV anyway. So the promoter can either have it distributed by some no name company like the Arthur Abraham fight on Oct 4, or they can cut HBO in on the profits and allow HBO to distribute it and hopefully pick up all the advertisement and perks that come with being distributed by HBO.
It seems strange that HBO would not be interested in this fight, it was one of the better PPV cards of the year. I guess they have spent their budget or something?
