Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward on Pacquiao/Cotto Heading To Showtime

[Pacquiao'd]

Great step for boxing! CBS is a huge platform that can launch boxing to a higher level, it's a win-win for everyone involved. I'm a huge Pacman fan but the idiot who says Pacquiao is saving the sport...well, you're an idiot! Boxing has survived for over a hundred years and Pacman is just one fighter in a long line of historic fighters that has carried the banner.

haha. all of this **** sucking. come back to reality *******

floyd sales more ppv than pac. you have been owned

But where is Floyd Jr? He's like Carmen Sandiago? Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago? Hahahaha... So, guess what, you have been owned. Even if he fights in May (which he won't, he won't have run out of money yet), that will be four fights in four years. One fight a year is not going to cut it...

since this already happened I guess Manny Steward can open his mouth about how overrated Pacquiao is..

[boxingfan76]

emmanual steward is a Pacquiao fan so I'm sure he is hurt that HBO is screwing itself over by aligning itself with GBP which is a sinking ship and a disgrace to the sport. 115 million vs 28 million and anyone with two braincells when it comes to business knows what time it is. Pacquiao is single handidly saving the sport.

all u are is a ******* that writes typical know -nothing ******* shiaat. pacjuice is NOT SAVING THE SPORT LEAST OF ALL SINGLE HANDEDLY> , floyd still sells more, pac only fights washed up dudes how is that saving the sport how???? if anything pac is the one making the sport embarrassing to watch, due to his refusal to fight the best , fighting for nothing but vacant phoney-made-up belts, and flat -out refusal to give the fans the fights we want to see.need I mention the steroid debacle?pac is simply a right -time fighter, who has a good promotor hand feeding him previously knocked -out on the way -out opponents with a name and making a spectacle of it. look at pac fight and even with washed up dudes the beatings he takes, then look at martinez or mayweather fight,or even hopkins,or calzahge, to me pac isnt very impressive or anywhere near that level of skill or craft, hes just a brawler with some speed thats it.sugar ray robinson he aint.if pac leaves the sport well actually get better fights, because godddang hes so reluctant and downright scared to meet a top guy in the ring.mosley vs pac??? saving what sport?????

[amayseng]

It's not about HBO is being greedy. I don't think HBO is greedy at all and that is their problem. They need to be more greedy. They over pay for fights. And, the reason you don't see it on those networks. Is because they're not owned by those networks. CBS owns Showtime and Time Warner owns HBO. I guess you can say they can put it on basic cable on like TNT and/or TBS who are owned by Time Warner as well.

That is exactly my point, they should be showing an edited version of 24/7 on TNT for the fans to see. Show it right before and after they do NBA on TNT. Also why not show a replay of some of the big fights on TNT as well?

Competition of this nature should lead to better product.

They have had boxing on TNT before it was short lived.

And HBO got Roy Jones back who is/was their best color guy.

Yes I remember boxing on TNT, but it just wasn't the right time to do it back then I believe now would be a much better time to do it. Also Roy Jones is no Mike Tyson.
