Was just watching Inside the NFL on HBO and in their parting shots segment they brought up the fact that Packman Jones has said he is ready to be reinstated into the NFL. Bob Costas, who was the one talking about this, said that all that Packman has done is "win the Total Nonstop Action wrestling tag team championship title" and to paraphrase, he went onto say that unless Packman belives that winning the tag team title is giving back to the community, he should not be reinstated into the NFL.

Hey, good or bad, at least TNA got mentioned by name...

HBO and UFC deal is over

Send News


MulitChannel News reports that the year-plus long negotiations between HBO and UFC broke down after both parties came to a conclusion that the business model set up wasn't copasetic with either side.

“You never know what the future holds," said HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg. "We have enormous respect and admiration for the executives we dealt with at the UFC. We wish them well.”

Lots of communication was made between HBO and UFC within the last two months leaving UFC president Dana White confident enough to say that a deal would be made by the end of this year for the cable giant to air UFC live events to its 28 million subscribers.

This deal could be a positive for Spike TV, the home of UFC's The Ultimate Fighter reality series and various live and taped fighting events, as they are looking to extend their deal with UFC which expires in 2008.
