Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao on Showtime: He's Too Big To Smash

[Sweet Jesus]

Someone needs to take out Larry Merchant.

Really? Damn, doesn't HBO have any self-respect. Pacquiao-Mosley and Cotto-Mayorga are meaningless fights. If Amir decides to fight Murray, HBO better broadcast that fight now.

that would be like Sky Sports turning away the Salita fight and allowing their main competition to showcase Khan. Even though Salita had gone life and death with journeyman, it's about showcasing Khan and not about the opponent.

IMO HBO did the right thing for not picking up Pacquiao-Mosley and Cotto-Mayorga.

Can you imagine a 24/7 with Pacquiao and Mosley? Very entertaining inside the ring but incredibly dull outside of it.

Don't be silly, they wouldn't let go of the biggest cash cow right now. HBO managed to piss off Arum plus Arum might have been thinking about making this kind of move for a while, that is why this has gone to Showtime.

Good point. I can see you know a bit about the business side of things. Is that why you still haven't changed the faces in the header? I mean Joe Calzaghe for crying out loud?!

@ HBO.....Showtime is snatching their fights and it a thing they can do about it ....IT'S SHOWTIME!! (in my Jimmy Lennon Jr. voice)

Showtime > HBO anyway. I hope they do a 360.

They cant

Its impossible to hype up a fight after it happens

Good point. You obviously think logically.

Me, you and Pump should form a team. We would be unstoppable. DreamTeam.

In the words of Lil Wayne to Al Sharpton: "Here's why i don't like you, and NOBODY Respects you"

I can't take Showtime seriously when all of their fights come on at 10pm on the west coast, and have the nerve to have a lead-in bout first! Showtime? We're talking about Showtime?

that sounds like a personal problem to me. I know plenty of people that watch showtime fights live on the west coast like myself.

Maybe you're problem is with your cheap cable provider?

It could only be a bump up for boxing and its fans given its current sorry state. I barely even post here anymore. Its frustrating watching the best make excuses and create hurdles to avoid fighting the fights their suppose to be fighting.

We have Floyd fighting women and security guards. You have the Klitschkos fighting opponents they have no business fighting. Etc.... I dont think Boxing will ever return the sport it was once in the 70's - 90's.
