Rumor: GGG could be fighting on a major network

Okay...just saw this...

Jarrod Fletcher? Where you hear that?
Geale wasn't even offered the fight as #2

My thoughts exactly - I knew the 'major title fight' that was gonna be announced for Murray had almost no chance of being a world championship title - I'd kinda assumed it was gonna be Wood again with the Pan-African title.

Fletcher's about the same kinda level, but I ain't even heard a rumour that he could be Murrays 'big name' opponent.

Ah...there we go then.

Definitely looks probable, specially with Ricky H talking 'bout a 'big announcement' for Murray this week.

Wow...they're pulling out all the stops for this one, ain't they? smfh..

EDIT - WRT GGG fighting on a major network I'd be surprised if HBO didn't pick up broadcast rights, doubt it'd cost them that much and it's in their interest to keep up his exposure - I'm sure they'll find a slot for it somewhere.

Well, only way Golovkin fights Murray now is if he loses.
WBA don't enforce crap.

Murray wins, the British round about goes off
Fletcher wins, he'll probably try Geale first....or God forbid Sturm invites him over

only makes sense for HBO to carry it, even if its on HBO2 like zhou shimming,,

GBP and showtime are putting on great cards, but the one thing they are still very behind HBO in is the international fights like froch-kessler 2, Wlad-povetkin, etc

HBO needs to broadcast alot of the international fights, they arent getting shown in the US anyways so they HBO might as well spend 50-100k and secure broadcast rights for fights like Groves-froch, Sturm-barker, etc

HBO carrying a boxing match wouldn't exactly be considered news. And HBO2/EPIX/WEALTH aren't important networks.

Well they are bigger networks than no network which is where its at right now.

I have no idea who would pick this up.... I don't consider Epix or Wealth big....HBO2 bigger than them. I assumed it was HBO on replay

[Beercules]

So what is it going to be? Any guesses?

Exactly Fetta, thank you,,

I cant believe its that hard to understand, they have zero US exposure so HBO should pick it up on the cheap, even if its tape delay and show it on HBO2..
Anyone that has HBO gets HBO2 and a string of other HBO channels, so your hitting the main target audience, showcasing GGG

[Hougigo]

IMO... it's gonna be HBO. They showed heavy interest for the December fight before it was cancelled
