Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Divorced HBO, Showtime/CBS is The Future

I do think he's unknown but I also feel the way they announced all of this crazy news at once, added more hype! Mayweather's contract, outshined the fight, and THAT CONTRACT is what made ME excited about seeing the fight more! The promotion on top of that! This fight will be promoted everywhere! Its almost as if Floyd was taking his career to a whole new level! As far as revenue, promotion, income! Its just a complete frienzy! I think the fight will do marvelous, and Robert is not even a small reason why! But the fact that he will create tons of problems, will add to it,

By the time the fight comes around, the hype surrounding his contract and ship jump to Showtime would have died down.

What everyone fails to realize is that Michael Buffer will not be announcing this fight! Is the fight really going to be the same with "Iiiiit's Showtime" I don't think so.

omg
didnt even realize that hahha this sucks

[revs1227]

I like announcer with long dreadlocks David Diamonte i think his name. Not sure which network he works for but appearance wise hes cool

hbo/..........

Yup... I'm rooting for Trout. He needs to beat Canelo convincingly to get the W. I'm afraid he will not get a close decision here.

Some people will argue with me night and day, but Floyd is gonna lose! People base their fight predictions on hype; "Floyd is unbeatable, Robert has no defense, he will eat right hands!" Floyd's lack of power is a serious weakness, and this is a fight where it will cause some major problems! Robert is not going to get ****** into a boxing lesson like Shane and Ortiz! That brother dont feel punches, and I think thats gonna be the best fight of the night! Its gonna be like Cotto vs Judah, Mares vs Moreno! Thats the one Im looking forward too!

But the promotion from showtime, that this deal promised, si going to be unheard of! Their probably going to show past Floyd fights on CBS, and Show undercard fights on CBS! This fight is going to be huge, and I forgot about that Trout fight! I think it will be about 1.5 - 1.6! Cant wait.

When Tyson went to showtime, it was after he got beat by Douglas and Holyfield was really getting popular. In an interview after Tyson's last fight on HBO, he said I'm leaving because HBO thinks you'd rather watch Holyfield than me. So, I'm thinking they couldn't afford to offer Tyson as much anymore, because they were giving Holyfield more money. Now it seems like the same thing is going on with Mayweather and Broner. They could have offered Mayweather more, but he's getting old and Broner seems to be the future, or at least they think and are willing to bank on it. So Floyd having a shattered Ego about the whole situation is running around acting like he got such a great deal, but in reality his stock is steadily dropping. I could be wrong, but that might be a possibility.

I hope so! But tbh, i think Floyd's skills will be too much for Guerrero. I mean, he's not unbeatable, but he's very smart. I don't like the guy but as a fan of the sport i must be honest.

Guerrero is a warrior, but he's at most a B+ fighter. He's not fighting Berto, and Floyd isn't there to be hit. Bottom line, i see Floyd winning a wide UD.

Look at both fighters last fights! Cotto is old and MAAAD slow! Landing slow left hands! Robert is a southpaw, he will DEF land some powerful blows! If cotto can land, I know Robert will land EASILY! I dont think Floyd has great defense anymore! Robert WILL land! But when he feels the power, he will land MORE and come on harder! Some people see Robert as a B fighter, and I HATE robert, but that guy makes awesome adjustments! Little small adjustments he makes, and as a pressure swarmer, he's awesome at ww! He should have gotten a 3rd round TKO over Berto! I think Floyd will be sliding backwards on his feet, while Robert lands all that ww power! I wont get into arguments with people about it, because they gang up on you here! But mark my words, if that Floyd that fought Cotto shows up, Robert will DOMINATE, AND MISMATCH Floyd! I dont even see it being close! I see him coming with WAAAY to much size, durability, force, and power! And remember, Cotto is slow as hell, I dont care how good his jab is! Robert simply does NOT telegraph! Im gonna make some bets during fight time, message me in a few months, I wont change my prediction when its time!!
