Sports Illustrated interview w/ Stephen Espinoza

[badnewsbrown]

Let's be honest, they are all robbing showtime. In some sense it reminds me of the wrestling days when bichoff was running wcw and wasting turners money lol.

Espinoza stated that the fans shouldnt be fixated with ppv #'s and instead should focus on the quality of the event. Well he can thank his boy Floyd for that. It was Floyd who started this entire ppv craze and uses it as a benchmark when it comes to other fighters. Had Floyd/Maidana done 1.5mil - 2mil ppv buys, I can bet my eyeballs that Espinoza would have announced it the day it was confirmed. You cant brag when you have record breaking #'s, then say that fans shouldnt be concerned with the #'s when they arent as impressive.

Whats important to me is the best fighting the best, they have all this talent over there and for no apparent reason there not fighting each other. Why? Why aren't these guys being matched 2gether? Broner, lucas, garcia, peterson, the ghost, all these fn fighters and there not fighting each other?

lucas has fought garcia and petersen right? garcia fought khan. berto fought ghost. matts fought garcia.

Are you sure haymon's fighters are not fighting each other or are you just caught up in NSB whining because broner and matts are not fighting 9/6?

If it had done some ridiculous number you would just be on here saying he is lying and be posting the exact same things about Showtime losing money.

Whether they lose or make money effects my life in no way. All I'm saying is, dont brag when you do big numbers and wonder why fans are fixated with #'s, then tell these very same fans not to focus on the #'s when the numbers arent as impressive.
