Can we discuss HBO vs Showtime fight lineup for the rest of the year?

[Newzz]

This shyt is kinda embarassing at this point


HBO's Fall/Winter Boxing Schedule as of October 3rd 2014:

Gennady Golovkin vs Marco Antonio Rubio (Nonito Donaire vs Nicholas Walters as the Co-Main)
Bernard Hopkins vs Sergey Kovalev (Luis Carlos Abregu vs Sadam Ali as Co-Main)
Manny Pacquiao vs Chris Algieri PPV (Zou Shiming vs. Kwanpichit 13 Rien Express as Co-Main, plus Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo and Jessie Vargas vs. Antonio DeMarco)
Terence Crawford vs Raymundo Beltran (Evgeny Gradovich vs. Jayson Velez as Co-Main)
Canelo Alvarez vs Joshua Clottey
Timothy Bradley vs Diego Chaves


Showtime's Fall/Winter Boxing Schedule, as of October 3rd, 2014:

Rances Barthelemy vs Fernando Saucedo (Vanes Martirosyan vs Willie Nelson as the Co-Main and Chad Dawson vs Tommy Karpency)
Andrzej Fonfara vs Doudou Ngumbu (Tomoki Kameda vs Alejandro Hernadez as the Co-Main)





Brehs....what the hell is Showtime doing?


Are they just gonna bow out after Floyd's PPV in September and do nothing for the rest of the year?


Their "main event" fights are opening fights on a normal good card


I cant believe they would come off a year like they did in 2014, only to throw up the white flag in 2014


They better get Wilder vs Stiverne asap and HOPE Khan vs Guerrero is made, plus Thurman gets back on their airwaves, because these 2 cards they have lineup up is garbage compared to what HBO is doing the rest of the year.

HBO killing them...

like i said boxing in 2014 just went 180 in another direction..its fukking embarrassing after 2013 was so great

only 2 FOTY candidates from those networks this year so far in Matthysse-Molina & Crawford-Gamboa

Guerrero-Yamegai i know people are split on whether its one or not it is one

showtime better redeem itself fast..those cards are FNF/Shobox status

 

[Tide Run This]

Showtime is embarrasing they better get a Thurman vs Alexander or Khan vs Guerrero fight made that end of year schedule looking


Most of those HBO fights are ass I just wanna see the Alien expose Kovalev

 

[Jello Biafra]

Showtime needs to fire Espinoza after he allowed this shytty year of mediocre boxing to pollute their airwaves.

 

[Rev]

First Showtime gets screwed with the Mayweather ratings (outside of the Canelo fight, of course), then with Schaeffer leaving GBP, and now with Haymon practically holding his fighters hostage.

Oscar's not losing though because he's like - "I heard muhfukkas sayin they made Gold...made 'O' say OK, so...back to HBO..."

 

[Tide Run This]

Get Rod Salka on the phone and have him main event a squash match with Thurman to end the year.

Blame Al Haymon

Blame Al Haymon

Nope.


Blame Stephen Espinoza. Al Haymon doesnt run Showtime, Espinoza does. He can tell Haymon "no", but he's a puppet


HBO put their foot down and said they will not show those type of matchups, so they went to Showtime who gladly whored themselves out to Haymon just to get Mayweather on their airwaves, because it means they are doing "top tier programming"



Im not gonna blame an advisor/manager for getting his fighters huge paydays and title shots for easy nights at the office. That's the American Dream

yo man... thats the weak mans road they taking... it aint no american dream.. just shows how p*ssyfied this era of boxing is.. Haymon is lining nikkas pockets to not fight the best out there... If these fighters would be straight up about it i'd respect it more... but they not keeping it real..

The American dream = making the most you can, while doing the least you can.


You think people REALLY wanna work hard to earn their money?


I guarantee you LSC LOVED that fight against his literal sparring partner. 750k for less than 6 minutes of work?


You think Pacquiao would turn down 15 million to fight, say, Kaizer Mabuza at 147 if he was offered that fight

Truly and utterly pathetic!
