Showtime said years ago they were willing to lose tons of money to pry boxing out of HBO's hands as a long-term investment... They should have kept an eye on their own people rather than worrying so much about HBO I guess. **** investment that turned out to be.

In the article that was posted here, Haymon is trying to bring boxing back to network television so I don't see why he would have any of his top fighters fight on SHO.

Originally posted by El-blanco View PostTv commercials are huge business, hell make more money this way even though he's coming out of pocket, the back end will be much more than what he's doing on cable.
Running ads on NBC Sports Network are a heck of a lot cheaper than running ones on NBC.

Haymons guys will still fight on Showtime, why wouldn't they, he basically has complete control over there almost there entire boxing budget.
And now that he has 20 dates on NBC, he can force Showtime to pay more for the guys they want!
Espinoza should 100% be fired for basically losing complete leverage to Haymon, he is the definition of a puppet.
