    It bombed so we've got the Canelo fight instead of Alexander.

    Good luck to Showtime, it's become clear that HBO lads (Kellerman and Lampley) think they're hot ****.

        This fight bombed big-time

        The higher ups at CBS/SHO don't want the public to know because their stock would nosedive and they would be a laughing stock

          I would have welcomed that fight. It would have honestly been amusing seeing the fanboys spin this into some type of revolutionary fight and talk about how much of a threat Devon is

            It didn't bomb. If it did the 800+ or so many are saying on the sly, that's still a MONSTER number. It's all relative to expectations and cost.

              They did release them, said it did over a million. But then again i dont have an agenda against certain fighters so the numbers really dont matter to me. I watched the fight and enjoyed it, i remember when that used to be all boxing fans cared about

                  Makes you wonder if it did because he's fighting Canelo now when it couldn't be made in the past

                    How about this:

                    http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbade...t-payday-ever/

                    The large Mayweather guarantee and significant promotional budget resulted in a loss of as much as $12 million for Showtime for the fight, according to one source.
                    If it's even in the neighborhood, that's a ridiculous hit. Imagine 2 of those a year, that's just about their annual boxing budget

                      Showtime lost money, it didn't do over 1 million buys
