    Floyd moving to Showtime

    What does this mean for the sport of boxing??I was thinking and it could mean a few things...


    1.Mayweather will never fight Martinez..

    2.Showtime will get more viewers(much deserved)and the young fighters of Showtime(showbox)will get some shine..

    3.HBO will also build some younger fighters to become their stars..Guys like Donaire Bradley Rios,if they were smart they'd also try to pay Mares some big money to get him to go to HBO...

    The biggest thing to me for HBO is they lost the big fight,which use to be their calling card..Showtime has not had a draw like Mayweather since Tyson fought on their airwaves..This is a good move for boxing(imo)and Showtime deserves it as well..I figure Pac will stay over on HBO,it kinda even seems kinda like Showtime is GBP network,and HBO is TR network..

    This is crazy and I'm excited to see where this goes next..What are some thoughts on this whole thing??

      Lol, didn't they make their televised debuts on shobox?
      Anyway, I'm glad... HBO annoys me and haven't been overly impressed with them lately. Good for Showtime and CBS.
      I have a feeling the new HBO president will be fired now just like when the last one lost Pac.
      Somebody is going down for this.
