Comments Thread For: Thurman-Diaz SHO Triple Produces Lukewarm Ratings

[Intelligent]

Wow, Showtime needs to get it together.

Your right! They should put on Pac/Bradley 2 type of undercards and not release their numbers to the public.

That fight was almost 3 weeks ago and we have YET to get the numbers! I wonder why?

[QUOTE=mercenario;14486255]When Ken Hershman was running showtime sports we were getting good match ups vasquez vs marquez for example, meanwhile at HBO Ross Greenburg was giving us the Al Haymon treatment showcase fights with overpaid hype jobs. After Greenburg got fired, HBO hired Ken Hershman to run HBO sports. Espinoza is a GBP"s tool just like Greenburg was. Now shotime is getting the Al Haymon treatment mismatches in half empty venues with overpaid hype jobs. [QUOTE] Spot on. It's all smoke & mirrors with Haymon, Floyd and Schaefer. Now that they have Espinoza in place it's all about how much they can extract from the CBS coffers before the jig is up. Yet you have fans on here making it sound like a good thing.

That's what they get for over protecting their fighters.

UFC was on. That's why! Lol jk, it was Thurman and Diaz as the main event FFS. It's not gonna get a lot of views from the casual fan. Only us hardcore guys were watching.

It doesn't really work that way, Showtime has basically an equal budget to HBO since they basically became Al Haymons personal bank account.

The whole system Haymon has created to get himself and his fighters paid, is going to crash on him, and golden boy. You can't overpay fighters and expect to have a worthwhile profit.

Which Is why golden boy is operating in the red for years now, as soon as a few Showtime execs, start to ask," WTF are paying all this money for?" golden boy and haymon will be in serious trouble.

Are you a part of Golden Boy or Showtime's accounting firms?

Do you have a source for those claims in bold?

Despite Showtime being partners in producing and broadcasting 3-3.5M PPVs in 2013, in which 50%, reportedly, goes to the broadcast/production company, they didn't turn a worthwhile profit?

Despite having partnerships with Showtime and FS1, where the broadcasting company pays them a televising fee; collecting site, attendance, and advertising revenue; and being the promoter of choice of Al Haymon's grand scheme (including Mayweather's PPVs), "golden boy is operating in the red for years now"?

You should look into blowing the whistle on Haymon and GBP (wait... GBP is in on it, but they've been operating in the red for years... (thinking)... **** it... just blow the whistle on them anyway).

Holy crap you are one dumb mother ****er.


Showtime and HBO's budgets are public knowledge. There pretty much equal, look it up. And because I know you were spawned from one of those rachet producing section 8 farms, I'll even tell you how to look it up.

You use google, google is a website on the Internet that allows you to do research before exposing yourself as a one of those children who fell behind in grade school.

[Hougigo]
