Comments Thread For: HBO's Head: We Are Excited To Welcome Canelo Back

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Maybe they wanted Clottey to headline a PPV with canelo and that would be unacceptable.

Isnt there some rule about PPV co-headliners making at least a mil for fight after

No, this was regular tv, they have state that before clottey was even announced..


And no there is no rule requiring at least a mil,,, it's the normal range but not mandatory

LOS ANGELES-Golden Boy Promotions Founder Oscar de la Hoya, HBO Sports President Ken Hershman, and superstar boxer Canelo Álvarez today announced a major new agreement to showcase the fan-favorite fighter's matches on HBO Sports.

"For all of my career, I have wanted to fight on HBO for one main reason-I believe it will allow more of my fans to see me in action," said Álvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs). "Today marks a huge milestone for me, and I look forward to a long and successful partnership with HBO."

Where was Espinoza's outrage when Adonis Stevenson did the same exact thing to HBO?

How de****able.... it'd be like if two fighters/promotions came to a verbal agreement only for one to go somewhere else...... good business move doe right?

Here come the network fanboys. Wait while I go puke in the corner.

Canelo has already been exposed as a limited fighter. I like the kid and he does have some skill but his two biggest wins weren't all that impressive. I mean as far as action goes. Sooner or later Canelos going to get knocked off and after a few losses his fans will bail on him like they bail on all their fighters.

Lmao so you're turning on Canelo because he's back on HBO.

Fl0mos becoming fantards of networks/promoters etc is the epitome of phaggotry.

Showtime has to feel salty..

They invested a lot of time and resources into canelo and now they are gonna miss out on the canelo-cotto fight which will be a monster PPv... At least they got Floyd-canelo, but it must hurt knowing the youngest PPv star in boxing heading towards the peak if his career just leaves for your rival..

They've missed out big time.

The 'investment' in Floyd is looking more and more wasted as time goes on.

Canelo is a KO artist that is news to me.

These fighters shouldn't be exclusive to a particular network. It limits the match up posibilities

[Nightfall]

Its a good business move. Can't blame him. Now all they have to do is pay clottey to lose to make the alvarez vs cotto fight in may.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

HBO has to have $$$ signs in their eyes... They are potential looking at over the next few years
