    Froch v Groves
    Haye v Fury (likely re-scheduled)

    and probably a couple more I haven't recalled.
    From an American stand-point:
    Bradley-Marquez and Pacquiao-Rios are on PPV, it doesn't matter if you're subscribed to both channels, you have to drop an extra $60 to watch it at home.

    Klit-Povetkin and Haye-Fury will both be tape-delayed, so the result will be known (and streamed) worldwide at least 6 hours beforehand.

    What HBO really has left:
    Golovkin v Stevens
    Ward v Rodriguez
    Froch v Groves

    Ward-Rodriguez is a great fight and I'll be tuning in.

      Also, let's not forget Mike "Mile High" Alvarado vs Ruslan Provodnikov on Oct 19.

        lol?


        no they are finished now until floyd fights again, thats the problem in dealing with one promoter, people will only get recycled fights, thats it

        hbo are so far ahead apart from 2 times a year when floyd fights, for showtime to be on top, they need one more mega star at least which they do not have

          IMO HBO still has some of the best fights of the yr..I'm just happy we getting great match ups from both stations..I agree with TS tho,I hate that guy calling the fights..Where the hell is Gus Johnson,that dude can make BINGO sound like the most exciting thing on the planet..They need to get him back..

            That list is garbage compared to what Golden Boy already put up this year so far, and the year ain't over yet.

              Showtime has Hopkins vs Murat on Oct 26 and Khan vs Alexander; Most likely at Barclays Center on Dec 7. Correction: The Jhonny Gonzalez vs Abner Mares rematch is being tentatively scheduled for Dec 14 at the MGM.

                They're getting close to have two..Garcia Broner are well on their way..Not on the status of Mayweather or Pac..They are becoming stars tho..Hell even Thurman and Khan are good fighters who can gain some interest..Showtime is just fine..

                    Right now,HBO has(imo)all of the FOTY candidates..They've also had the better action fights tbh..I do believe that both have done a great job of match making tho..

                      hbos line up looks spectacular. but I don't care who's "winning" as long as these networks continue to deliver. and if david douchebag wasnt made of so much fluff we could watch fury double fist haye.
