I don't see how this is for Golden Boy. Manny is with Top Rank, JCC jr is Top Rank, Khan is the only GB fighter. As far as i know Roach doesn't train any other GB fighters. This should be a good insight to the US olympic team, and some behind the scenes stuff we don't get to see on 24/7.

Definitely sounds like a clash of interests. Is HBO registered as a promoter? They should be.

Good to hear at least cross promotion but none the less it'll just be a mega vehicle to further HBOs choke hold. Hey all power to them, if you have it flaunt it but they-we can help Olympic program to begin with by making sure we don't have to sit up till 3 am in the morning just to see it. A dedicated prime time slot and following progress of Ama. would be outstanding , just think it's a bit of smoke n mirrors to push upcoming signed interests. They've seen massive success with 24-7 no doubt.

I'm not trying to spit on any insight to big names and behind the scenes. Olympic program needs all the help it can get!
