BOXING : HBO OUT OF MANNY PACQUIAO VS. JESSIE VARGAS FIGHT ?

Cable giant HBO is out of Manny Pacquiao's comeback fight. Reason? HBO has too many things lined up for November, reports say. Not to mention, the most awaited US Presidential Elections aka Trump vs. Clinton, which is barely 3 days after the scheduled Pacquiao - Vergas duel. Unless the Pacquiao fight, slated November 5, is moved to another date in December, then HBO is not able to join in. Pacquiao, a boxing legend in his own right, has spent most if his colorful career with HBO. Pacquiao and his promoter, Bob Arum, is now on the lookout for somebody to replace HBO. Did I hear 'Showtime'?

ICYMI, here's why HBO doesn't want the Pacquiao-Vargas fight on Nov. 5. But Showtime might be interested. https://t.co/Nlls2C6yAZ
