| Subject: HBO, Greenburg - Berto step up or your cut off Wed Nov 03, 2010 8:34 pm | |
| http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/blog/_/name/rafael_dan/id/5760124/greenburg-weighs-more-hbo-issuesOne area where Greenburg has received massive criticism is regarding welterweight titlist Andre Berto, who has been given soft touch after soft touch on HBO for big money.
"The bottom line is Andre Berto will be in a big fight in early 2011, or he won't be on HBO," Greenburg said. "Whenever he fights next, if it's not against a big-name opponent, then you won't see him. He knows that, his management [Al Haymon] knows that. And his promoter [Lou DiBella] knows that. Believe it or not, they feel the same way. We've been very patient. Now it's time. If it doesn't happen, so be iBetter late than never | |

| Ive hated the match making Berto has been in since he began fighting. Collazo was his only tough fight. If HBO really meant that statement they would have already said fuck it and made him fight Mike Jones, its complete BS that hes fighting Hernandez.
Berto has never been a relevant fighter and by his demands in money, I cant see anyone wanting to fight him. He'll never fight Pacquiao, Flomo, Margarito, Cotto and top name guys because he'll just price himself out. | |
