    Canelo in Sept, you'd have to be Helen Keller's brother not to see that coming.

    Swift and Lucas aren't moving to WW anytime soon, hell, Lucas is OLDER than Ghost.

    Martirosyan? WTF?

    Young lions within a 7lb division from Mayweather.

    That mandatory stuff doesn't mean **** to a guy like Floyd. When you're the top guy in Boxing you can pick your fights at your own leisure.

      Canelo will likely be on the undercard against Trout. Floyd and Canelo can meet in September provided Canelo wins.

          This honestly shocks me. Never would I have thought Mr. HBO would join Showtime.

                Showtime has been getting better names on their network, but the actual fights haven't improved all that much. Lots of mismatches. I do agree they're pretty much on par with HBO now, but HBO has been terrible lately so that's not saying much.

                They also been spending a heck of lot more just to get a 15% bump in ratings.

                    I can't imagine that the Showtime execs are anything but pleased with the increased ratings.

                    If the money being spent was excessive they would be the first to let Espinoza know, believe that.

                      The laws of economics don't seem to apply to boxing for what ever reason though. Nobody has done anything about overpaying Berto for example.
