"but why the hell does HBO have to schedule the Pacman vs. Cotto replay at 7 pm Pacific, which is the same time Showtime will air the Ward vs. Kessler fight? It doesn't make sense"

Why Lowes always build business besides Home Depot?

Why Wal-Mart insist and build besides a Discount & Variety Retail industry, Consumer Electronics & Appliances Retail, Drug Stores & Pharmacies, and Gasoline Retailers sectors.

Study how to crush the competitors - Study economics, so you will not wonder.

I'm venting as a boxing fan, and not as a businessman. Don't you love boxing as well? Then stop thinking as a business analyst unless you're connected to one of these cable companies, that's all I'm saying...

HBO is ******.

There's more than enough money to go around if boxing is on the upside.

No need to wack showtime on this one.

They already made a killing on the PPV buys last Saturday, they can't even afford to give the crumbs to Showtime...

You probably been hit a few times in the head and not looking the business perspective. It's all about money !!
Your venting a bit off.... meaning no merit to your venting.

GOT DVR?

That's all you need. Or go to video trading forum.

You're not thinking long term for boxing, I'm just looking for things to make it bigger and better. Just like I already said, I have it on my DVR too Snoopy...

Why? Do HBO or Showtime cut you a check every month? Are you a shareholder? If not, then shut your trap or get the hell out of my thread...

I can understand them doing it Saturday cause its a week after the fight, but they don't have to put it on the same time.

Funny you - see how muscle sports can do to your rage and bypass using the brain?
Try to be a formula one or pool table fan like me -- you will learn more.

It just like I said in this thread here

Boxing is going through a Saturday night war for ratings just like pro wrestling did in the mid/late 90's.......its competition and is always good for business because they have to try and produce the best shows so we fans tune in, and we win because we get better fight cards.

I know boxing is a hurt business, and usually business competitions are cutthroat, but why the hell does HBO have to schedule the Pacman vs. Cotto replay at 7 pm Pacific, which is the same time Showtime will air the Ward vs. Kessler fight? It doesn't make sense to me if they're both trying to resuscitate boxing in their own little way. They should compliment each other rather than running the other guy out of business.

Recently, boxing's making a comeback as a mainstream sport as we've seen news, discussions, debates and what have you about the sport and its unique personalities on ESPN's Sportscenter, PTI, Jim Rome, Sports Nation, Around the Horn and such, which is very good. Don't they know that the more fights casual fans will see, the better business for them in the long haul?

I know both of these giant companies wants to monopolize the market by trying to outdo each other, but we all know that if one folds and decide to scrap boxing on their menu, the survivor won't care if they give their subscribers stinkers knowing there's no other choice but them.

All I can say is, thank goodness for DVR...

maybe that's cuase that's the time the viewing public turns on the TV.
