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

[Mike Tyson77]

the kentucky what??? is that a pie eating contest?

no, horse race.

[Shalafi]

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.

He's always posting the same **** over and over trying to bad mouth and drag boxing to the ground, he's a closet MMA fanatic and cares less about the sport of boxing. This guy brings nothing to the table and should be banned.

You couldn't be more wrong. Boxing can't get on mainstream TV. I don't know what I have to do to convince you of this FACT. Do your research and you'll see this is 100% true. Tell me when any promoter turned down a national TV date.

No way. PPV earnd millions and if boxing were on regular TV even more would watch it. The Neilson ratings would go through the roof. No network would turn that down.

Dude, I live in Louisville and Oscar fights on Derby day every year because it's Cinco de Mayo weekend. Mayorga fight - Derby, Mayweather fight - Derby, Forbes fight - Derby

He fought him on HBO because NOBODY would pay to see it. I passed out on my couch after Derby but woke up in time to see the fight, which ******.

Man, if you guys haven't been to the Derby yet, you're missing out. It's a giant field party with everything you can imagine. It's even better when it rains and everybody is mud wrestling and acting a fool
