Why didn't HBO or Showtime offer Pacquiao a fight deal?

[HeroBando]

So Margarito was high risk?? Dude is a cheat and at best a B- fighter And he was no loner prime...so he was C+.
Shane Mosley was shot when he fought Floyd, and was even more shot when Manny fought him.

Bradley and JMM is Pacquiaos only legit fight in years, and he lost both of those.

A shotter, undersized Mosley is superstar Canelo's 2nd best win. I guess it's a cherrypick after all, since his resume is 1 deep

Oh the deal was good for Floyd no doubt. But it was bad for the network, and that's why HBO didn't offer it to Floyd or Pac or anyone. Of course, the losses would be smaller on HBO cause their brand is stronger

We do not know if it was bad for the network or not. Or maybe they are willing to lose some money now while getting more subscribers for the long run. Plus now since Mayweather is fighting in Showtime. The casuals fans now know that Showtimes shows boxing if they didn't know before.

You can have all the money you want; nobody wanted to watch the fighters Showtime had. Very few people can recall what happened in the Super 6. They have a roster thats probably better than HBO's and can put on more intriging fights. Where HBO has them is they have 7 mil more subscribers if they can close that gap than they will be considered the #1 Boxing network. hell they are now but viewership says otherwise.

Fighters go where the money is.

Not sure what you're talking about on viewership. HBO trounces SHO, boxing or other. For example, Showtime got good ratings for Broner, but only like 10% higher than GGG, which cost 4x less. That's bad business, paying 4x more for 10% gains

May doesnt sell out arenas.

Even if he doesn't sell out arenas. His gate $ is more than Pacquiao sold out arenas.

taxes are too high.

pac aint fighting in the US again.

Or maybe because NOBODY would buy the PPV of two losers in the States. It would have to be on Friday Night Fights or HBO BAD. Would you buy Rios vs Roidman on HBO PPV? The China thing is a mask.

It's amazing how so many Money followers don't recognize China is where serious money is made in the 21st century.

In China, for $2 to 5 a pop. How the mighty or should I say how the midget has fallen. If it were in the States, the card would be on FNF or BAD. Got it, smart guy?

You couldn't be more wrong dumba$$. It will be distributed on HBO PPV in the States, usual time. It won't even be a PPV in China yet, but when they get that going, watch out.
