Comments Thread For: Mayweather Inks Huge Six Fight Deal With Showtime/CBS

[MC Hammer]

i think this could be the fallout of money and golden boy.. because isnt GBP in bed with HBO?? could this mean Canelo is off the card... since he's been loyal to them.. could this be the reason why mayweahter is now going to say "well canelo is an HBO fighter.. i'm SHOWTIME".. for that fight to not be made? I mean Arum used that same excuse for nonito/mares... OHH WAIT.. Mares/Mayweather in september... ha ha.. *****s dont get mad.. just a friendly jab..

In reality could the tide be turning back in Showtime's favor? Whatever the case is i hope he fights someone worthy.. He could also be doing this in case the Guerrero fight flops.. and he's got an out.. "showtime didnt promote it well".. i dont know.. dont care.. just want to see the best fight the best..

someone mentioned.. Kahn/Broner.. i'd see that..

GB and Showtime work together all the time. It looks like TMT and GB might be working together for a while

Something is seriously wrong with you. Your level of hate is amazing. I don't even like using the term "hater" but come on now... You post on every topic with this guys name and I don't understand it. If you dislike him so much then why waste the time commenting on every thread about this guy whether it is positive or negative?

i dont know if you know this or not but this is what we call the INTERNET. And on the internet we have a Boxing forum. And on the Boxing Forum we post on topics. Any topics we choose to post on! If you didnt like my post than why did you quote me...? See you are learning.

This is all good. HBO has become to stagnant and repetitive. From the mundane commentary team to the familiar Las Vegas fight location. And the way in which they've interviewed Floyd before (Merchant's *****ing) really is enough to lose the priviledge of broadcasting Mayweather. The way they interviewer other boxers, in general, leaves a lot to be desired.

Hopefully Floyd will help put networks back in their place so the balance of power can return to the boxers, instead of being in the corporations favor. This move has the potential to revolutionize the sport because of Mayweather's status. It's likely more boxer's are going to make the transition from HBO to Showtime as a result of this.

:smilol: Floyd fans orgasaming at the thought of Floyd fighting up to 6 more times

LOL.

He's 36 Id lauph my ass off if he lost. As for this being a blow to HBO. Maybe. Last time SHO did this it got locked into **** fights/undercards that led them away from long term contracts. We dont know the details. Maybe floyd was asking to much and HBO said screw it BY

[PAC-BOY]

Lol now you know I am I Floyd fan, but trust me told, If Manny ever does get back on track, this can now become another ROADBLOCK in the fight lol.

So now Floyd can say...HBO and Showtime don't wanna work together.

Thats what i was thinking...and i really wasn't trying to be a smatass about it...its true..Just another reason why the fight cant happen.

if HBO can use the resources to put on better fights then its better for everyone. As for ppv, they need to cut down the ppv's IMO and make WCB what it used to be.

I will miss watching floyd on HBO same way I did Tyson. But I want HBO to get back to what made it great. Putting on great fights. Hopefully, they go with all weights and work with all promoters.

I don't see how this helps HBO at all, in the fact they are losing a ton of money with this deal.

Showtime is giving up dates for whatever GPB and Haymon wants. This is the reward for having no say in matchmaking and being a pawn, all in all it worked out for Espinoza. Expect even worse matchmaking this year on Showtime.

So guess that means floyd fights malignaggi, alexander, guerrero, berto, bradley and canelo

Sounds good to me. At least these are make-able fights minus Bob 'Pacs Daddy' Arum.

And here's me thinking that the reason why any fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather is further away than ever is because Pacquiao just got knocked out by Marquez and is chasing a rematch harder than Wile.E.Coyote.

That Mayweather is garnering so much attention before even throwing a punch while Pacquiao is trying to pick up the pieces must be bitter pill for some to swallow, so I can understand the negativity on this thread. Sometimes life just ain't fair.
