How stacked is April 17?

[Mikhnienko]

They are rival companies they have to compete.

Wasn't always like that, they used to have an unspoken agreement not to have fights on the same dates. Not sure but i believe it started a few years ago, imo probably because Showtime started to get a bit more competitive & better quality so HBO started viewing them as real compitition.

Whatever the reason is it's ***ing ******ed from an overall boxing standpoint, these dumbasses need to realize it hurts the sport more than helps it. Spread that **** around.

Quintana vs. Vanes
Pavlik vs. Martinez
Edison Miranda vs. Lucian Bute
Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler
Allan Green vs. Andre Ward

Good stuff!

Only problem with that is, there's a lot of weekends without any big fights: for example, the weekend of Apr 10.

HBO should have had their doubleheader a week earlier, but Greenburg feels a need to compete against Showtime.

^^^ Ah well. I don't really mind as I just get the fights the next day anyway.

This is ******IC.

Actually that just annoyed the hell out of me. We go weeks without any really great matchups, and then all those in one night - with HBO and Showtime competing against each other. Ridiculous.
