SHOWTIME made a deal with ESPN CLASSIC??

[Darkstar]

yeah, thats not a fight HBO really wants to keep away hidden.

They have a lot of fights like that, I guess that one just got the call.

HBO has sold fights to ESPN Classic but its very rare. Gatti-Mayweather was HBO PPV and its been shown on Classic a lot.

I think the majority of those fights are of the international broadcasts. Because none of them have the HBO commentary.

yea for Gatti/Mayweather Joe Tessitore calls the fight

**** now we won't have to see Bowe-Holyfield over and over again, oh wait.....

Hahaha, just watched that again for nth time yesterday.

I noticed this last night. It's the full Showtime broadcast that they show..original intro, graphics, broadcast team, etc. A lot of HBO fights are shown on ESPN Classic but they seem to only sell them the footage and not the graphics or broadcasting. I hate that, it's cheesy as hell have Tessitore literally act as the broadcaster for a 1992 fight.

I mean **** that is one of my favorite fights, but you know the saying "too much of a good thing..."
