[AddiX]

Sho doesn't do childish things like hbo, which is why top rank fighters are constantly on sho, right?

Espinoza you ass-clown, HBO is the premier premium network on Cable T.V., Showtime has always and always will play second fiddle to HBO. HBO does not need Al Haymon or Boxing in general as much as Showtime does in order to draw ratings and keep subscribers so of course you're going to STFU and happily bend over whenever Al Haymon wants to **** you in the ass.

"Well we never said, you know, we would never work with them again. We just said, you know, it has to be on the terms and, and in a way that we're comfortable that we can work together. And you know, obviously with the change in leadership there it's a new, uhhhhm you know, attitude about that and we've embraced it and they embraced it and, you know, here we go. We're, uh, w-we're doing a mega event together out of the box, it's great."

Good statement. I hope it's true.

HBO never banned haymon fighters. they banned GBP and that was because floyd went to Showtime with a good bulk of GBPs talent.

Could that be why a Golden Boy fighter like Hopkins is fighting on HBO while all the Haymon guys haven't been on since?

No "childish" ban because Showtime can't afford it, but there's plenty of childish attitude from Espinoza. He's ruining boxing. Showtime used to be the hardcore fan's channel. Now it's basically Shobox x2.

So in simple terms.."we didn't want to pay for mismatches Anymore" if they are willing to put big fights together people want to see, of course HBO would want to air them.

Showtime a joke

Espinoza is an unprofessional crybaby. everytime i look at his twitter i cringe. all he does is attack rival companies and slander fighters that dont fight on his network. you'd think he's one of the posters on this site, damage controls his ****ty fights 24/7, brags about purses on showcase fights, and repeatedly brings up the fact they have floyd on there network as if it's some excuse to shovel out horse**** time and time again for there big "stars".


when the low ratings come out, he'll be in full force on twitter talking for some reason about GGG and how hes overrated and how he hates HBO. Notice how nobody from the other side does this. they go about there buisness, they don't need to attack and try to convince there fans they're putting on the better fights.... like this guy does. one of the people ruining boxing is stephen espinoza...

HBO banned Haymon for fights and cards like the one last night. Remember Broner-Rees?



And good thing they did. As a result, they seem focused and clear in their decision to put on the best fights possible


Crawford-Gamboa, Golovkin-Geale, Kovalev-Hopkins, etc


HBO is embarrasing Showtime right now and the reason why is simple:


Stephen Espinoza. If he does not get fired, expect more of the same type of card like last night


I am not a Showtime subscriber because of Espionza and Ezpinoza only and I am sure a lot of other people are in the same boat.

Hit the nail on the head

Floyd fanboys have been making this ridiculous assumption for far too long now. First of all, HBO never regretted kicking out your hero. His guarantee is way beyond ridiculous. His fights are too expensive to make. There's simply no money there for networks as Showtime soon discovered.
