Yeah thank god for showtime.........Boxing is boxing and it'll always be this way, showcases are needed at times, if you have a problem with it, go watch something else.
    Did you read any of what I wrote, I was giving credit to Gary Shaw not Showtime, Forrest isnt a Gary Shaw fighter neither is any fighter on Showtime's card Saturday.

      It's a business move. They sign Pavlik to a multi-fight deal and they get to air all his fights. If they dished out money for the guy why would they not show his fights?

      If you don't like it, don't watch it.

          The only astonishing thing in this thread is that this actually upsets you.

            You talk about understanding peoples post, then you show a lack of basic understanding of anything.

            Way to go son, your mother would be proud.

They do this all the time to unbeknowing casual fans, Berto's last fight was against a guy who was 43-2 but was highly overmatched. HBO is in the business of building stars, its like when I was little and every week wrestlng would come on, the star would always wrestle a nobody. Thank GOD for Showtime and Gary Shaw being over there, he has repeatedly said that whoever he promotes will be in competitive fights, he isnt your typical promoter who is trying t make sure you win, he puts his fighters in tough fights so next time the fans will tune in again. That gray-headed menacing stare you see in the ring after his fighter's fight, the unrelenting poker face, thats what we need more of and it would be nice also if he even brought his act to more networks, it was his card he put on HBO with Yuriorkis Gamboa, all three of those fights were with good competition even though the house fighters were PROSPECTS. Big up to Gary Shaw Promotions.

                    naw, its never an issue when Mayweather's involved. HBO is gonna hype and bull**** casual fans that DLH actually is dangerous and will be competitive against Mayweather using a good amount of their budget for the promotion instead of using it to invest in other boxers, but to Bhopreign, thats not an issue at all. hypocrisy at its purest and finest form.
