According to the UK Times, Chris Albrecht was sacked.
The Wall Street Journal reported that HBO lost its top executive. The article also said:
"Earlier this week, Chris Albrecht, head of Time Warner Inc.'s HBO cable unit, was arrested on charges tied to a physical confrontation with his girlfriend. The scandal deepened after a newspaper report said he had also assaulted a woman in the past..."
It appeared that his drunken assult of HBO big wig Chris Albrecht's lady friend in the parking lot of the MGM after the Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather was not his first incidence of violence towards women. He kicked a a female in the early 1990s and HBO settled for 400K payment towards the victim. That's one expensive kick.
Update: The Smoking Gun has the police report posted.
