Will Show-time fall from grace, after Mayweather is gone?

[The Problem]

Just announced that his last will be in 2015, will HBO be king again?

[KingTito]

It will certainly take a huge hit. HBO will always be king.

[The Big Dunn]

Whichever network has canelo, chavez and broner will be top. Watch out for verdejo, he's gonna be the next PR star.

[Weebler I]

Showtime have the bigger budget so they should do even better without forking out $32 million to Mayweather twice a year.

They need to lose Espinoza who is getting the company robbed blind by Haymon.

[HanzGruber]

hbo is still king, but i like what showtime is doing, especially with their online content.. hbo needs to step up in that area

[Larry the boss]

Who cares about networks??? both have been showing boxing for years and will continue to prosper

[El Angel]

They're already falling from grace and he's still there. They only have an exclusive deal with Floyd and Khan. Now that Canelo looks like he'll be heading back to HBO for the massive Cotto fight and the steep drop in quality from 2013-2014, Mr. Espinoza must be at least a little worried

Hopkins-Kovalev was just strike one. It's going to get worst as GBP and TR inevitably do business and go with HBO.

Also did ODLH ever respond to Espinoza's comments about not attending Garcia-Salka? That wasn't a good look for a guy who was probably already on Oscar's watch list for his possible role in Dick and Al's plan to sell off GBP.

[-Kev-]

Hasn't HBO lowered their budget for boxing over the years, to the point that they pretty much have the same boxing budget as Sho?

[Check_hooks]

The only thing that can save SHO is Top Rank. Gbp doesnt know how to build a star. If canelo, broner, thurman porter were on Top Rank they would all be doing 1 million views easy

Boxing IN GENERAL takes a FALL after Mayweather is GONE, new stars will have to emerge and right now I don't see that NEXT BIG CROSS OVER SUPERSTAR in boxing yet. Broner and Canelo been hyped as such and both not sure if they have the SKILLS to get to the top and then Maintain once they get to the Top without needing controversy and robberies to Maintain that #1 Spot

Broner can grab the attention of Casual Fans for all the WRONG REASONS but he is too damn Ignorant and he doesn't know how to cut things off and act Civilized so you probably will never see him doing a live interview on ESPN to promote his fights or anything like that

Then as I seen Stephen A Smith mention earlier today when talking about Mayweather defending Ray Rice, the Class Guys who can be great Role Models like Andre Ward, nobody cares about them and they don't get talked about or seen as much. But yet Broner is front and center and he gets all of the HYPE, attention and RATINGS.

Mayweather retiring will effect EVERYBODY, both networks, boxing websites, everything will be SLOWER once he is gone
