Comments Thread For: Showtime, Golden Boy Defend August 9 Brooklyn Show

[Ringlife]

Showtime is to blame here for putting this garbage on their network.

Folks, cancelling Showtime is NOT the way to send a message.The way to accomplish this is find the free streams for just the August 9 show or have a party and invite people who would normally watch on their own TV sets and let the low viewing numbers send the message.

Plus Ray Donovan is pretty good too!

Canceling Showtime subscription IS the only way. They've been thumbing their noses at fans for a long time now. These clowns have been rewarding fighters for fighting nobodies, instead of fighting each other. Fans should be enraged by this and do something about it by telling everyone by twitter, facebook, you name it, not to buy tickets and stream the fights. SOMETHING HAS to be done.

Yeahhhh good luck with that, I found how to watch showtime for free. I'll pay for HBO cause the wife loves the series on there but can't say the same for Showtime. The funny thing is they are saying "look how these guys performed"..well that tends to happen when you build hype around fighters who aren't grade a fighters. Of course a B level fighter is going to come along and give them hell, he's facing a fellow b level fighter with a ton of A+ fighter hype.

This card is just a showcase of their star fighters. They are a slew of more credible opponents than the ones that they picked for this card

[sicko]

Because of a Budget we are not always going to get Big Fights every weekend that is understandable but Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson should not be taking Give Me Fights not that this stage in their careers with them being Champions in their Division.

Where the *** are the Belt Organizations? Do you ***in Jobs and order these guys to fight their Mandatory's, the card should be:

Danny Garcia vs Viktor Postol
Lamont Peterson vs Cesar Cuenca (I don't give a **** if he only has 2 KO's)

if the Belt Organizations stop taking extra pay to let fighters do what they want and get off their a$$es and DO THEIR JOB! Networks, Promoters, Belt Organizations, Manager they are all responsible for **** cards like this. This Card is worse than a ***in Showtime The Next Generation Card

[Mr. Philadel]

It didn’t take long for the grumbling and collective eye-rolling to begin once Showtime and Golden Boy Promotions announced the lineup for the August 9 show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Unbeaten super lightweight king Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson - an alphabet titlist in the same weight class – were rumored for the show for weeks, but will appear in separate bouts rather than in a head-on collision. Garcia defends his crown versus unheralded Rod Salka, whose biggest win came two divisions south in an upset of previously unbeaten 130 lb. prospect Alexei Collado this past April.

Yup! Having a big fight party and inviting a bunch of people to watch Danny Garcia vs Sharrod Ralka is definatly the way to go. Lmfao I'm jk with you bro. There's nothing we can do about this. The sport of boxing is great but the business side and what comes with it sucks!!!!

Are you ******? Haymon and Schaefer have been doing this for ages. You blame Oscar for this garbage? Peterson and Garcia are Haymon fighters. Are you saying Oscar is the one overprotecting these fighters? Why would he do that?
