Haymon and Showtime killing HBO CELEBRATION THREAD

The issue isn't the amount of channels. The NFL is on a ton of channels. The issue is how many islands there are. PBC being on FOX and SHO is good because it's more exposure and more money, without adding an island. HBO going away means GGG will end up in the PBC, ESPN or DAZN universe and you'll get a bunch of great fights you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Three way split is way better for fans than four way split. Whether that's three channels or 30 channels isn't the issue. It's how many talent pools there are. Look, you can spin it how you want. You guys are hypocrites regardless. Whether the term channels or islands or feather dusters is used, you said more boxing is better. Now you’re saying less is. Using the networks as an excuse for fights not being made is just that, an excuse. Fighters who want to fight eachother, do. Fighters that dont, make excuses. I have seen in the past few days a few posters claiming they dont care about drug testing now. They never did. They just didnt want to admit it was an excuse to avoid a fight.

I read just fine. You’re content on your sit n spin. Pbc fanboys last week. “More boxing channels is good for boxing” Pbc fanboys today. “Less boxing channels is good for boxing” The issue isn't the amount of channels. The NFL is on a ton of channels.

I'm just here for America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

you would be hard pressed to find someone who subscribed to HBO just for the boxing, especially since most all of their top events were PPV anyways..... Same with Showtime. The boxing is just a door prize. I have it for Homeland, Ray Donovan, etc., so the boxing is just a bonus..... I know plenty of people that pay $8.99 a month for Showtime specifically for boxing. I used to know plenty of people who subscribed to HBO specifically for boxing, but most of them canceled and switched to Showtime over the last few years.

It benefits boxing fans. Saves them $15 a month, but more importantly, the fewer stables you have, the more likely it is that the best will fight the best. In sports, monopoly is great for the fan. What basketball fan is wishing the US had four major leagues where the best players were spread across them and never played each other? The best thing for a US boxing fan is for PBC to dominate, have most of the best fighters, and eventually crown a PBC champion and leave the alphabelts in the dust. you would be hard pressed to find someone who subscribed to HBO just for the boxing, especially since most all of their top events were PPV anyways.....

I'll never celebrate less boxing on my TV There's going to be more boxing than ever. It's just going to be Showtime, FOX, ESPN and DAZN instead of the straight up HBO vs Showtime war that we had for so long.

So based on your ignorant, biased OPINION. I'm a boxing fan, I'm neutral I speak facts. I feel sorry for Wildher, the way they milk that man is sad to watch.

Based on Donkey Wildher, the way Haymon rape that man is disgusting, hope somebody report it to police service. Also Haymon is best friends with King so he must be the same type of a scumbag. So based on your ignorant, biased OPINION.

how long has it been since i was last banned for racism then? ive had 1 ban this calendar year Only one ban for racist posts this year? Must be some kinda milestone for you. So are you asking us to forgive the other 8 (by your own admission) times?

I'll never celebrate less boxing on my TV, but HBO definitely did it to themselves. They weren't getting the ratings because they didn't have the fighters. After 45 years they basically threw in the towel. It's sad to see.

so UHH is al haymon married?

Thats has nothing to do with what you said though. I think the problem is you don't know how to read?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Off topic, but take off the fro from Al's pic and he kind of looks like Dame Lillard lol.

US boxing desperately needs a dominant league. PBC is the best chance for that to happen. If you're a US boxing fan, PBC is the best thing to happen in a very long time. Thats has nothing to do with what you said though.

This simply signals the decline of US boxing. You guys are ridiculous not realizing that you're celebrating the decline of your sport. For decades HBO was the heart of the sport. This Haymon feud is making you overlook the real reason HBO is dropping boxing. I've said this before. There's a number of posters like OP and one's of his ilk who actively root for shows to fail, ratings to be poor and the sport to fail unless it involves his fighters that are either Haymon guys or fighters who compete with one's they hate. I've just never understood that mentality in rooting for something you claim to be passionate about to fail to prove "your guy" is the best. HBO opting to back out of Boxing due to seeing no economic sense is not a good sign. I hope they prove to be wrong but I'm a little concerned about the sport because our fans suck and don't support the sport properly in this country.

HBO had been almost dead for years now, yet they're still able to produce huge (non-Pac/May) PPV events that Showtime and PBC couldn't equal. One Time Thurman was supposed to take over, but he's been off for 2 years now. Spence is not even active. The Charlo sisters are still lining up scraps after all these years.

You're right, had they only kept paying Berto $1.2M per fight, they would've stayed afloat.

Based on what exactly? Based on Donkey Wildher, the way Haymon rape that man is disgusting, hope somebody report it to police service. Also Haymon is best friends with King so he must be the same type of a scumbag.
