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.

lol... not a big loss for Sho?
What in the hell would be?

Dude brought in over a million views during a PPV that sold what...500k?

Can you please clarify the bolded part above? I would like to respond but I am having trouble comprehending what you mean.

I can already see Jim Lampley's P4P list on the next episode of The Fight Game.

1. Mayweather
2. Ward
3. Pacquiao
4. Golovkin
5. Kovalev
6. Canelo

This is a positive move for boxing fans though. HBO's fights were starting to suck, especially with Top Rank's lame ass stable and all the Golovkin/Kovalev mismatches.

Canelo's return to that network should help. Hopefully more of Golden Boy's fighters will be allowed on there as well.

GBP doesn't have any other fighters, Haymon controls everyone else and Haymon is married to SHO.

Espinosa worried about Canelo when Floyd is admitting All Access is fake, dramatized, an act?

According to Espinoza, what caught him by surprise is the manner in which the De La Hoya/Canelo negotiations played out. Espinoza believed that his network had reached an exclusive multi-fight agreement with Golden Boy, based on the two sides reaching an agreement on a proposal brought to them by De La Hoya.

"The surprising and disappointing part of this whole situation was the deceitful manner that Oscar went about the deal. A few weeks ago, Oscar came to us with a multi-fight, multi-year proposal on Canelo's behalf. It was a multi-year exclusive deal. He made the proposal and we accepted it exactly as he proposed. Oscar said 'great' and he promised that Canelo would be at Showtime for many years to come and he would arrange for Canelo to have a celebratory dinner with us. Now fast forward a few weeks, he's reneged on those promises and he hasn't really offered any rational explanations for doing so, not that there really could be one," Espinoza said.

Should've stuck with Showtime
