Showtime gets PPV rights to Mayweather-Guerrero

[badnewsbrown]

I could careless about this fight, but it's good to see Showtime get more big fights. This shift in power can make for better competition and better fights, hopefuly.

I'm just surprised we won't be seeing a Floyd 24-7, I know Showtime has their version of it, 360 or something, but it never felt as good as 24-7 to me.

I totally agree with you, the 24/7 series really is well done production wise, 360 has some big shoes to fill to sell this fight and market it well.

loyalty has a price it seems.

Looking forward to this fight.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. = HYPOCRITE

Remember this shit?

"You know what I'm going to be doing Saturday night? Saturday night, I'm going to be watching Lady Gaga on HBO, the best network in the world. I want everybody to tune in and watch Lady Gaga. She's on the biggest and best network, HBO."

And no, it doesn't matter if Floyd did it for business because Pacquiao left HBO for business as well and Floyd ripped him for it.

I wonder if canelo is going to showtime too or is this a 1 fight thing for him?

His last fight was on Showtime..

I find it to be a lot better. 24/7 is repetitive as **** and is laden with mawkish sentimentality. Their closing montages are the only thing they do really well and even those have been pretty mediocre lately. Cotto-Trout ep.2 was better than anything 24/7 have done in years.

Haha that's what I was thinking. I remember him mentioning several times of his loyalty to HBO.

Only thing he is loyal to is money.. and it just so happens HBO is no longer the financial goods for boxing.

I've always found their 360 series to be refreshingly good...not a whole lot of narration instead they let the boxers tell their story...I also feel floyd has been on 24/7 so many times that their last 3 series lacked innovation. the way they put the scope on the strained relationship with his dad and his friendly relationship with 50 cent never intrigued me

ken hershman must be kicking himself to the head right now...on the bright side I hope hbo will get a wake up call and televise more fights...hopefully they'll put pressure on top rank to end their feud with gbp now
