HBO not doing a Manny PPV?
Stephen A. Smith
Stephen A. Smith's boxing knowledge ... whatever.

This thing (boxing) is going the way of obvious shit.

I wonder if this is a money-saving maneuver, and if not, what the hell the point of it is. Does Bob Arum really think anyone is going to buy this card because Bradley or Smith are commentating?

This card will probably do 300-400K buys just because that's Manny's built-in fanbase who will buy anything he's a part of, and no changes to the commentary team are going to push that up or down in the least.

Its about Stephen A Smith dropping the fact that he's calling a fight on the radio, TV, and print frequently in the leadup to the fight.

The question is why HBO did Canelo PPV against Smith and doesn't want to do Pac vs Vargas. Do they expect Pacquiao to not have any good fights in future ?
