Comments Thread For: Espinoza Disappointed With 'Deceitful' Move of Canelo Deal

[PAC-BOY]

Looks like "Espidontnoshlt"...about whats going on!

[Pigeons]

It's not a big loss for SHO. Canelo is a limited fighter who either beats down on WWs or is made to look average vs. guys his size. For such a revered fighter, I really can't remember the last time Canelo was in an exciting fight.

Haymon and Espinoza will have to match up their young talent against eachother to stop the bleeding. Thurman vs Garcia?

This Espinoza guy is ******. Anyone could sense that he's trying to make life difficult for Hoya by initially rejecting Clottey. Of course, Hoya's feelings were hurt considering this same Espinoza approved of the Salsa fight and Santa Cruz's sparring partner. Then there's the issue of Haymon fighters not fighting each other.

Hoya must be sick of having to promote mismatches and crappy fights produced by the clown team Haymon and Espinoza.

People talks like Espinoza is this great tv exec. This guy was OLD and GBP's lawyer before he got that job. Richard and Oscar gave him that job, then they started moving their fighters to Showtime. Everyone know that no other promoters gets dates in Showtime. The only way that a non GBP fighter gets a dates is because they are the mandatory. I rather watch canelo vs clotted that Garcia vs salka.

People celebrating for HBO too prematurely.. They have a bunch of foreigners that can not sell to the American public. Showtime has all the charisma with their roster, truth be told. HBO has lost out for two years straight and have not air a fight for 3 months. A whole season HBO had nothing showcased and was saved by Bernard Hopkins. Why you think Jim Lampley went on a butt hurt rant on Mayweather in the season premiere of his crap boxing show?

Also look at HBOs P4P list... GGG is at #5.

If HBO PPV numbers fail again to Showtimes when they try to compete next May, expect a restructuring of deals and jobs.

Hershman is just owning this poor lackey

Stephen Espinoza taking a page out of the Richard Schaefer book of doing business through the press. Canelo vs. Clottey is not worth $4m just as much as Garcia vs. Salsa was not worthy of the 825K he paid for that crap or what he paid LSC to destroy that poor Roman dude. Why did you approve those fees Stevie?? Did those deals result in some quality programming for you? You accepted them because your Al Haymon's bitch just like Slick Rick is. You can resume taking it up the ass from Big Al and Floyd. I just hope Les Moonves fires your ass very soon.

Cotto, PAC, canelo, golovkin, kovalev, Hopkins, donaire, trumps anyone on showtime, you're trippin. Hbo does better numbers than showtime. End of discussion.

What a ****** phukkin' response. Canelo is wildly popular win or lose. You hang out in support for the Pimps on SHO (Floyd, Espinoza, Ellerbe, Haymon & The limo driver Schaefer). They put together the most putrid fight cards in Boxing this year and you bought it. And if you think Haymon will start next year aligning all his hookers up against one another, think again. He could have done that with Garcia & Peterson; he brought you Salka & Santana instead. its looked like that all year and for good reason. Safe trips to the bank each time for his hookers, and he gets paid on each trip. That's his M.O. And the public will snap in backlash next year when you see him not change one thing from what he gave you in '14. This is his money game. And Espinoza will stand there in the line of fire selling you "the strongest, deepest boxing card of the year", until SHO steps in and fires Espinoza's azz. Floyd's camp of fighters are a joke.

Good luck with SHO. Canelo -Cotto will be a massive gate. The winner will get Gennady, and again, exciting fights the public wants to see. This isn't about comparing Canelo to Floyd. Floyd is sleepy, and everyone is growing tired of the thug. Canelo win, lose iot draw is exciting Boxing; he comes to fight, not dance.

Canelo really doesn't have much to offer anyway, sure he's got great ratings cuz being ignorant is the popular thing right now, he only looks good against little guys with average skill, like josesito lopez who should be fightin at 140, Alfonso Gomez, Matthew hatton and well Angulo isn't anything to brag about either, he's overrated big time, I wish somehow a fight against Carlos Molina would happen cuz molina would prove to all my dumbass compatriots that Canelo is just a "perrito inflado" and the best mexican in the 154-160 division is Carlos Molina
