Comments Thread For: Showtime VP Responds To Claims, Promoters Chime In

[( . Y . )]

What is it with people posting things that are just wrong??? I wasn't trying to be pedantic, just correcting a misstatement. It is no longer Viacom due to the name change. The current Viacom has nothing to do with Showtime, ergo not the same company.

By the way, "bungalows" must not like you much. He thinks I'm your "alt"

Listen Im talking about the original viacom. Im not talking about the new viacom. Nothing I posted was wrong. Showtime was owned by Viacom and Viacom changed their name to CBS corporation. It was a name change. It's still the exact same company owning Showtime. It has nothing to do with the new viacom. it takes two seconds to look it up smart ass.

Have no stock in Showtime so let them go broke. Just show me the fights

What??? The topic of this thread is regarding the current VP of Showtime Sports. A guy named Espinoza, that never worked for Viacom because the name changed happened in 2005. Viacom Corp still exists but it has nothing to do with Showtime. Where do you see Showtime here: http://www.viacom.com/brands/pages/default.aspx

Duva has obviously sided with HBO because she thinks HBO can guarantee her and her fighters good money. But when you take sides in the networks war, you just give networks more power over you and limit your own.

Showtime was owned by Viacom since the beginning. They are still owned by the same exact corporation, nothing changed but the name.


That link is to a completely different Viacom. Stop being such a little bi-tch.

Cathy Duva is full of sh.t! She says it is impossible to get a date on Showtime; yet she has never tried to get a date on Showtime. She claims there have been only 10 PPV stars in the 30-year history of PPV. However, she failed to mention that none of them were promoted by Duva promotions. In other words, she claims she wants to build PPV stars who can command the type of money that Mayweather makes instead of putting her fighters in fights where they make $1 or $2 million. Yet, in her 30-year career, she has failed to produce one PPV star and has only had two or three boxers in her stable who have made that $1 or $2 million per fight that she refers to.

This woman is a complete idiot. Kovalev will never become a PPV star and will never make more than $1 or $2 million in a fight whether he fights for Showtime or HBO. Neither will anyone else in the Duva stable.

I never expected my clarification to go this far. Seriously. At this point it's useless. I say the sky is blue, you say it's red.

You're argument is tantamount to saying you still refer to the Dodgers, as the Brooklyn Dodgers. It makes no sense. But whatever, it's really not THAT important.

Arturo Gatti was with Main Events, he was the A-side against Mayweather.

I like the part where Espinoza says he works with other people then names a Haymon fighter.
And the part where he says we will work with other people but we just couldn't work out a deal.
