Showtime gets PPV rights to Mayweather-Guerrero

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Im anxious to see how CBS goes about promoting this fight.

Don't like Showtime as much as i do HBO but this will be a very good card.

[The Big Dunn]

I'm not sure how it works, but maybe HBO didn't want to pay Mayweather what he wanted. Lets face it, he won't be around much longer.

i think this is a great move for HBO. they will have money available to put on better quality fights year around.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I'm very surprised HBO let this happen, it sheds a very different light on the whole 'no one's going to tell me who to fight' talk. Maybe HBO wanted Mayweather to take more risks?

Or they offered him something he couldn't turn down? Money talks with him you know that.

And he's still fighting Guerrero and Canelo's last fight was on Showtime.

Let's hope so because the line up showed after the Broner fight was a joke outside of a few fights.

You guys think Showtime will bring back the super-6 kind of hype shows for this? I would love that. Seeing a more toned down approach rather than the larger than life 24/7 production.

How does Canelo/Trout/Broners deals look like? Can they move to showtime without problems?

[HanzGruber]

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.

Yup 360 is better than 24/7 at this point

Man, I haven't been this happy in a while. SHowtime already has been putting on better fights and can benefit from the floyd addition. CBS is back in the mix.

But I really want to see HBO get back to making boxing cards that mean something. I mean a WCB with a budget near $2 mil. Imagine what they can do at 140? 122/126?

Fact is floyd/bhop/manny/jmm/cotto era is closing. lets start a new era by focusing more on the fights and not necessarily the fighters.
