HBO continues to over pay for mediocre fights

$750,000 for Campbell vs Ortiz

WOW

I thought that was a good undercard fight on paper....

yea but come on, Campbell-Ortiz making that type of $$$$

Thats a joke

Both are contenders coming off recent L's, shouldnt be making as much as champs/stars

then you see shit like this

"...check HBO's schedule for the summer, very few WCB shows, I hear money is already an issue for them in 2010"

ITS JUNE!!! And already budget issues for THE boxing network....

They need to stop wasting money on guys who can't draw: Williams, Cintron, Dawson etc.

as I said in a post (rant) in another thread or 2 in the last week, HBO is horrible. They only care about the name. They overpay all the time. They would rather put on Ortiz than other more deserving fighters. It is all about trying to build a latino name.

They've been having budget issues for a couple months already, probably one of the reasons why Diaz vs Marquez II is on PPV.

They need to quit worrying about names .

Is Ortiz who never beat a top 10 fighter at 140 (and said no mas vs Maidana) and a 38 year old Campbell (a blown up lightweight) worth anything remotely close to what they paid????

HBO should invest some of that money in Giovanni Segura and Roman Gonzalez.
