An eye for an eye: HBO steals Hopkins Pascal II from Showtime

@danrafaelespn Hearing May 21 for Pascal-Hopkins II on HBO. #boxing 2 minutes ago

This is going against the super six that night too. I'm just glad this fight is happening. This fight did pretty good ratings on showtime, so it should be solid for HBO. I hope they put Cloud-Dawson on the same night. That'd be tight.

So I guess Dawson is either taking step aside money or is going to sue Pascal?

Showtime is winning this fight.

They don't have a valid contract if HBO or Showtime won't pick it up.

Scenario.

What if Showtime buys Dawson-Pascal?

What happens then?

[STEELHEAD]

Wow! all i can say is NICE! fantabulous!

i'll be watching both streaming simotaneously anyway

Don't see how it's 'eye-for-an-eye' when HBO lost Pacquiao and Cotto but only get Hopkins-Pascal in return...

Either way, happy the rematch is going down. Hopkins schools Jean again.

[The Hammer]

It's ****** to have this the same night as the Super Six.

There are many weekends where there's nothing from either Showtime or HBO, then they have big fights on the same night so their ratings are reduced.

But anyway: war Pascal! I hope he KOs the old ex-convict this time, so then he won't be able to cry about being robbed like he always does.

[ViciousVic]

I wonder if its going to take place in the States or its going back to Canada.

Then Dawson-Pascal happens. Hypothetically, I guess if showtime really wanted Hopkins-Pascal II, they could outbid HBO for it.
