Remember OldskooG kept saying how Fox was going to blow this fight up and make it so big? Lmaoooo

That delusional extremist says many things. None of which is true or have any connection to reality.

Someone's gonna suffer losses here.
They'll have to sell 1.5M PPVs to recover only guarantees for the main event.

These frauds do nothing but lose money. Well, those ****** enough to keep doing business with that ****roach Haymon do anyway.

Too many fights on PPV

Too many fights that do not belong on PPV. It would be great if there was too many real PPV worthy match ups. The last Showtime PPV was Paul vs Woodley. Hopefully there will be pressure for Showtime to release the official numbers for that card just for curiosity sake.

I have been saying for years that Redhead should have never left the PPV model. From Sugar ray Leonard to Mike tyson, Holyfield, ODLH, Pernell, Julio Ceasar Chavez, Bernard, Paq or Floyd, HBO and Showtime was the place to be. FOX does not have the knowledge of Showtime or HBO of how to build a PPV fight. Stephen E does. Get rid of DAZN and Fox and everything on Showtime (PBC and GBP) and ESPN (TR)

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

They are going to try to sell a 15-1 odds BS fight for 80$. Canelo has been hidden on DAZN for the last 3 years in fights no one wanted. Tens of millions are going to have to be spent on marketing for it to have a chance at being a success.

[Oldskoolg]

All but confirms PBC and Fox are done. Wonder if they'll close the Paramount+ deal, I recently realized Inside The NFL had jumped ship from Showtime to Paramount+

So this is the talk? That pbc is going to paramount? You’re the second person to say this on here, where are you lot getting this info sir?

[sicko]

Of course I'm sure Haymon tried to Parlay this Canelo vs Plant fight into a Long Term Deal with Fox and rightfully so but I guess FOX just not interested. I think they see the numbers and see that boxing is just not that popular enough to make that big of a Investment into it. With Showtime

Showtime and especially Espinoza been extremely loyal to Haymon and PBC so yeah they should get the big Fights over Fox. CBS is the #1 Network In America so they can Cross Promote on Multiple Platforms just as well if not BETTER than FOX so hopefully they Promote Canelo vs Plant on CBS as well as all of their Platforms. ViacomCBS owns a lot of stations since that Merger and have a much bigger budget since that Merger so I'm happy for Espinoza. He getting that last laugh over idiots who said Showtime would be out of Boxing 3-4 years ago yet they still here and has rolled out the best Schedule of all the Networks and Apps this year
