      Which is why I think it is a bad idea to point ESPN viewers over to HBO... that's all I'm saying.

      I guess what you are saying makes sense, but it doesn't make a ton of sense to me, from a business standpoint.

              Honestly, smokin does have a point, i'm not calling you ******ed, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out why ESPN would show a fighter that is about to fight in HBO a week or so later.

                ESPN has plenty of time to show replays of past fights because its a SPORTS channel.HBO is known for their series and movies. ESPN can show fights all day literally,especially on ESPN Classic. I'd whether have a company that can show the fights all day if they'd please rather then having HBO showing few of there recent fights.Not frequently shown also.

                  Okay... I guess I should have automatically thought about a dumbass business move that ESPN was making. I tend to think that big ass companies like ESPN tend to know what they are doing from a business standpoint.

                  Just because Target is willing to pay Walmart to put a giant bullseye in the middle of their lobby, that doesn't mean they are going to do it, BECAUSE IT IS ADVERTISING FOR THE COMPETITOR. Wow, just like ESPN was doing for HBO.

                  There really is no need to be a ****.

                    That was a bad Cotto fight to show, imo. Cotto winning by hitting the guy right in the middle of the back.

                      They rub each others back.Its quite simple and a smart tactic if you look at it.
