Oscar Vs Forbes was put on Free HBO because of the Kentucky Derby!

[Domain]

not because Oscar wanted to give Fans a free Show...this is the truth. Because the was the only slot available for OSCAR before floyd jr fight and he wanted a tune up and if they put the fight on PPV it wouldnt do well against the kentucky derby which is a huge ******** and festive american tradition...

just like Hopkins vs Calzaghe was on the Same day of a UFC ppv...so they just put it on Free HBO instead so they wouldn;t compete for buys...if they put the fight on ppv it would only do 100,000 buys because everyone would of ordered the ufc.

Oscar could fight ME on ppv and it would do over 500,00 buys...gtfo.

wtf that's dubm of you! No boxing fan would pick horse racing over an oscar fight lol plus i dont think horses run in the night time lol

I think the REAL reason it is on Free HBO is because Oscar is a smart SOB business man.

He knows Floyd vs DLH 1 tanked. He KNOWS everyone is like Floyd vs DLH 2 is ****ing ******. He KNOWS a lot of people dont give DLH a chance in hell because he had the fight in the bag yet couldn't carry out what needed to be done. SO what does this have to do with Forbes vs DLH? Simply DLH is gonna out there and murder poor stevie. Then everyone is gonna be like OMG Oscar is a cold blooded killa!!!! and if he fights floyd like that and with the fat off he will sure beat floyd now!!!!!!

Basically it gives the Floyd vs DLH 2 additional exposure and additional "variables" as to how DLH has a chance this time, and how it wont be a snooze fest like the first one.

What would you say if I told you the most successful PPV in boxing history happened on the same day as the Kentucky Derby? It was last year between DLH and Mayweather. The Derby will be over four hours before the main even starts Saturday. Guess that theory just went up in smoke.

the **** is a Kentucky Derby?

[Thread Stealer]

It's pretty obvious that the fight is on plain HBO to promote the September rematch with Mayweather.

The fact that the Forbes fight comes during the weekend when people who get basic cable can watch HBO for free, makes it an even better promotional ploy.

You must be more popular than Felix Sturm and Yori Boy Campas.

the **** is a Kentucky Derby?

A two minute horse race that I watch every year. Then I have time to go shopping, have dinner, and then watch boxing. The two are totally unrelated and the thread starter was coming from outer space with his logic.
