Paulie just fought 1 fight on a Showtime undercard, he's not a "Showtime" fighter.

I think broner is signed to HBO tho, so GBP has said that it will be on HBO.

IMO networks should not buy fighters, only fights

I know Broner is an HBO fighter and Malignaggi is Showtime fighter. So which network are they showing it? Another question. I know fighters switching TV networks happen all the time. Is it really that big of a deal if a fighter moves to a different network when they can be brought back easily? For example. Pacquiao went from HBO to Showtime (for literally one fight) then back to HBO. I mean I know the Mayweather move to Showtime was a big deal with a huge contract and everything. But are fighters able to move around this freely?

As long as you dont have a contract with a specific network, you can go back and forth.

Broner vs Malignaggi: Paulie seeks Showtime’s blessing if fight is to be on HBO

Paulie Malignaggi doesn’t want to hurt his relationship with Showtime, and will seek their blessing to face Adrien Broner if the fight goes to HBO.

the fight will be on HBO if it's finalized. Paulie has said he wants to obtain the blessing of Stephen Espinoza (Showtime Sports head) before signing on.
