Why does the meme of "HBO hypejob" exist but not "Showtime hypejob"?
Looking at the last 10 years of "HBO hypejobs" and how they turned out, you get:
Vasyl Lomachenko, current P4P #1
GGG, former P4P #1
Chocolatito, former P4P #1
Sergey Kovalev, most felt beat Andre Ward their first fight, before the circus that was the second fight, and Ward is a former P4P #1 on many reputable lists
Oleksandr Usyk, unified cruiserweight champ and current top 3 P4P
Gvozdyk current WBC 175 champ
Before them it was Manny Pacquiao, former P4P #1
Meanwhile if you look at the most hyped PBC fighters from around the same time, and how their careers have turned out, you get Adrien Broner, Peter Quillin, Danny Garcia, Robert Guerrero, and so on. Very good fighters but I would say the guys "hyped" by HBO from around the same time have turned out to be much more worthy of that hype than the boxers that were hyped by Showtime or PBC from that time frame.
Me personally, I think the new young crop of PBC fighters will prove to be much better than that crop, but I'm just saying, the label "HBO hypejob" doesn't seem like it's very fair considering all the guys where people actually complain about them overhyping fighters, those ones it turned out were hyped for a very good reason, their ability. Now if you want to talk about comparing Tevin Farmer to Pernell Whitaker, or comparing the guy on Bivol's undercard to Roberto Duran, then you have a point, but I don't think too many people cared about those two because it was so ridiculous in the latter case, and because Farmer is American in the prior case (for many fans. Others, just because it was also ridiculous). The main ones I saw many people up in arms about, claiming HBO was a white supremacist network creating great white "HBO hypejobs" or using a Philippino as a tool of white supremacy to hate on Floyd, or something, those ones all turned out to be worthy of the hype.
