Ross Greenburg, HBO looking forward to second part of '10 - ESPN
Looks like the President of HBO Sports is getting tired of boxers arguing about purse splits as well.
He has a lot of power in the fight game. Maybe he can get the promoters and the managers to smarten up and get some fights made.

The promoters and managers are bickering over splits and I'm getting tired of this split war every time a fight is to be made. I wish there was an objective voice in the background to tell them to stop the grandstanding. I think promoters, managers and fighters have to take a step back and analyze the situation a little more effectively. We need to make these fights. Boxing needs big fights, not just HBO. The sport needs big fights. Other than Pacquiao, Mayweather and maybe Mosley, none of these fighters we're talking about have attained superstar status. You need them to fight each other to create superstars. We're here with a big check and we're here to market all of these fighters when they want to fight each other."
