Showtime is dead

[Ham Porter]

It's unfortunate what's happened to them because for so long they were the boxing network for real boxing fans. They catered to the hardcore following and they made the absolute best fights possible back when HBO had no real interest in doing anything other than showcasing 'stars' (or guys they were overpaying, ramming down our throats and attempting to convince us that they were stars.)

The one positive thing to come out of this is that odious, stumpy little prick, Stephen Espinoza, is sent packing. That gutless, creepy-looking **** is responsible for the current mess they're in.

Time to look for those Showtime threads that are barely 2 years old

[Pain~Lucy]

They did get screwed pretty bad lol but I'm sure khan and Lucas will fight again on there. Haymon has too many fighters to put them all on nbc nbcs.

sure they will fight there, but the real fight could prolly happen on nbc, like how they built the garcia/pederson hype

That ****y little prick would talk down to fans on his Twitter and before today was saying "BIG THINGS COMING" for shobox lol he was talking so much trash when haymon and Schafer were working with him now he's just a washed up whore. Haymon had his fun now on to his new girl haha.

No sympathy for them. They sold their souls. Nobody made them give Haymon all that power.

Showtime will probably still have Stevenson... and they can pay his huge fees to fight the same competition because....well they have nobody now.
And Haymon fighters on GBP maybe

[JaguaresMx]

espinoza got burned bad

Haymon made them pay for Rod Salsa and what not and now Peterson-Garcia is on NBC for free.

Honestly, this was Haymon living up to his worst reputation as a shady ****er, but if this means good fights for free, awesome. I'll happily live with the devil.

Espinoza better come crawling to GB now. Showtime got taken dirty

[Hype job]

Watch all the Fl*mos turn into NBC fanboys now

But with only 5 prime time dates this year. You can't put guys like broner and khan on nbcs or at 12pm on a saturday

I think Stevenson, Khan and Floyd still has a contract with them. Hopefully now he stop kissing Haymon's ass and matches the few guys he has remaining tough.
