Anybody else feel this way?
HBO has been holding back due to their lack of shows. Only had 2 shows in March and their last one didn't really cost too much. Now a bulk of their attention is falling in May to about July
They have a show almost every week after the Mayweather fight.
May 17th - Marquez/Alvarado
May 24th - Perez/Jennings, Macklin/Geale
May 24th (showtime) - Stevenson/Fonfara
May 31 - Two overseas shows (Groves/Froch II), Macau card with three FW champions (Donair, Vetyka, Grandovich and Walters).
June - 7th Martinez/Cotto PPV
June 14th - Provo/Alegri, Rose/Andrade
June 21 - Nothing yet
June 28 - Nothing yet
July 5th-nothing yet
July 12- Proposed Canelo/Lara PPV
July 19 - proposed JCC Jr/GGG PPV
As of right now, HBO is pushing hard those 3 months while HBO has nothing on the board.
Those three weeks were there's nothing scheduled yet is when the FIFA 2014 world cup is taking place. It actually starts the 12th of June, so the Provo double header will be near the beginning....but don't know if anybody else will make fights to compete with the World Cup and use those Saturdays to build up their fights with 24/7, All access and fight replays.
Then, the whole issue of moving the proposed GGG/JcC Jr fight a week because of the Fifa finals being Saturday and Sunday. Don't know what time the games usually start, but if the games are at night, this time it's in Brazil and only an hour time difference from the East Coast
HBO has all those shows to build up each of their fights one after the other.... actually starting this Saturday with Pac's fight against Bradley. HBO are already trying to promote their other two PPV's on the show and trying to get the other fighters to attend.
Does anybody else feel this way? HBO is going to be having a lot of momentum those three months.
