HBO and Showtime pass on froch v bute!

No, seems Green has no blind devoted fans

Boxing is a world sport with great boxers from all parts of the globe and great fights taking place all over the world now as well.

And that trend is only going to grow.

The American networks better get use to it or die out and kill off Boxing as a main stream sport in America.

Absolutely.

[T.Horton]

American networks are insane!!

One of the biggest fights in boxing...

Well done.

that's gratitude for ya. even though Ward was my favourite, Froch carried the tourney in my opinion. Showtime should be rolling out the phucking red carpet for this fight.

That's a damn good point. The two best fights involved Froch.

I wasn't surprised at hbo, but showtime usually doesn't pass on fights this important. Showtime has made it a habit of stiff matchmaking & quality fights while hbo takes a superstar & feeds them loads of stiffs & lots of hype.

They'd rather spend millions on Bernard Hopkins fights...


WAR FROCH!

the whole reason showtime signed butewas for him to fight the winner of the super six the fact that bute has one more fight with showtime they want him to fight the ward not froch thats why they passed on this fight.

im not saying it right

It's a premium channel. The problem with EPIX is it isn't carried by all cable providers. For example, arguably the biggest cable company, Comcast, doesn't have it. I have Comcast so even if I wanted it, I can't get it.

Thanks for the info, I have Comcast and sucks that they don't have Epix, this is a great fight to watch, especially if nothing else is on.

Hbo reason
bute is a showtime boxer he has one more fight with showtime hbo will not show his fights so he can go back to showtime and make them more money.

Showtime reason
showtime want to show bute last fight with the network with the winner of the super six not the guy that came in second place

Not good enough, I hope Epix ends HBO and Showtime's dominance in American boxing broadcasts.

Showtime more to blame than HBO, who is in charge there? I need to know who that idiot is.
