    HBO should have picked up Rios vs. Antillon

    I am sick of having to pay for both HBO and Showtime. Showtime is putting on amazing Boxing HBO is aswell but I do not want to pay for both networks and refuse to just stream them cause streams are terrible quality and get caught off sometimes.

    I read Rios and Antillon are both getting $385k guaranteed for this fight. So Showtime is probably only paying like roughly $800k.

    HBO is airing the same night and is Paul Williams is probably getting around $1.2 million guaranteed because of Mr. Al Haymon.

    Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara fight means nothing HBO should have bought Brandon Rios vs. Urbano Antillon.

      I would not be surprised if he is getting more. Devon Alexander is getting $1.25 million guaranteed for his next fight.

        Al Haymon can work wonders.

              HBO has to leave some crumbs for Showtime. Considering they have good drawing fighters like Mayweather, Khan, Canelo, Ortiz, Donaire.

              They have Wlad vs Haye.

              And also good fighters like Martinez, Williams, Bradley, Alexander, Berto, etc.


              The least Showtime can do is have a Super 6 Tourney, Manny Pacquiao, Bernard Hopkins, Chad Dawson, Lucian Bute, Jean Pascal, etc. and a couple of lightweight fights, compared to what HBO has. HBO is set with just those first 5 names, Mayweather, Canelo, Ortiz, Donaire and Khan.

                I like how much Boxing I am getting (basically every single Friday and Saturday there is a lot of Boxing on wether it is HBO,Showtime, ESPN, Solo Boxeo) but I wish it was just combined to one network and one flat rate. Showtime puts on good Boxing with Juan Manuel Lopez, Brandon Rios, Abner Mares the Bantamweight and Super Middleweight Tournaments.
