HBO Planning Two PPV's In November, Madison Square Garden to host November 13

Just minutes ago, HBO PPV's Mark "Too-Sharp" Taffet informed Boxingtalk.com that boxing fans should look forward to expecting two PPV's during the month of November. "At least two, with the potential for three," said Taffet who confirmed that November 13 date was DKP's to lose. And lose it he won't since we hear Madison Square Garden is the probable venue to host of Byrd-McCline, Ruiz-Golota and a couple of other title fights. "It's a very exciting time for me, exclaimed Taffet, "following all of the middleweight magic we have coming up in September and October, to be able to stage at least two PPV's during the month of November is truly remarkable." Among the other possibilities under consideration are some goodies, incuding the rubber match between WBC/IBF junior lightweight champ, Erik "El Terrible" Morales and Marco "The Baby Faced Assasin" Barrera, the Mexican version of Gatti and Ward. Speaking of "Thunder", Gatti Vs. Mayweather could also become a possibility if Main Events would stop looking for ways around Gatti making his "immediately due mandatory," according to the WBC's Mauricio Sulaiman.
