The president of HBO Sports Ross Greenburg had to come out and make an official statement that negotiations did take place between both camps. However, Team Mayweather continue deny that there were any negotiations.”I was out in LA a few weeks ago and people were talking about it, saying, ‘Hey, the Jets are going to be great on this,” Greenburg recently told The Associated Press at HBO’s headquarters in Manhattan.
“One of our biggest challenges is that we’ll unfortunately have to leave a lot on the cutting room floor because there’s just too much great stuff,” Greenburg said, before laughing. “The other challenge will be trying to find a clean sentence out of the mouth of Rex Ryan. You just can’t fill the entire 60 minutes with expletives.”
But Greenburg thinks viewers will tune in just to hear what Ryan has to say next.
“The timing wasn’t right last year,” Greenburg said. “It’s a huge blessing we get them now.”
Greenburg said sharp-tongued special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff will also be “in the supporting actor category.” Sanchez will surely get plenty of face time, as will the opinionated Bart Scott and Kris Jenkins. Darrelle Revis’ contract situation and whether he holds out will also be a key story line, at least early on.
“I had been negotiating with a representative from each side since May 2, carefully trying to put the fight together. Hopefully, someday this fight will happen. Sports fans deserve it. “It’s unfortunate that it won’t happen in 2010.” Ross Greenburg
Despite these comments, Leonard Ellerbe still insists that no ‘negotiations’ took place.
