Espinza drops Friday night Showbox from Showtime.

[Pigeons]

Seven pages and nobody understands that this thread is based on a lie. This forum is trash dump because people take the word of Twitter trolls over the actual Head of SHOSports.

He***39;s wrong, as usual. We***39;ve never even discussed canceling ShoBox. "@jesse_gallegos: Glaser reporting that Shobox is going to be cancelled."

Wrong. Strike two. Anything else? @lefthooklounge: its not being canceled, it***39;s being moved to Saturday***39;s. Similar to hbo boxing after dark

— Stephen Espinoza (@StephenEspinoza) September 25, 2014

Repeat: this couldn***39;t be more wrong. No truth whatsoever. "@RickGlser1: Espinoza has dropped the excellent ShoBox series. RIP ShoBox 2001-14

— Stephen Espinoza (@StephenEspinoza) September 25, 2014

Absolutely not. Only a moron would say that. "@jessyboxer071: @StephenEspinoza so Showbox isn***39;t canceled?"

Great news. Those cards were a waste of time and money.

If this is true it will be because they are shoring up their budget to compete with HBO on Championship bouts. They need all the money they can muster up to force Haymon fighters to fight great opponents instead of facing the Ron Salsa's of the world for top dollar.

So its back on Saturdays? Ive been watching ShoBox since they started and they used be on Saturday afternoons, 3 or 4ish, if I remember right, which was cool with me because then if you had a HBO card, that was a full evening of boxing.

With Espinoza saying its "moved" to Saturday similar to Boxing After Dark on HBO, I wonder if he is just using that as a smoke screen, when in reality he is killing it and rebranding some of the saturday night telecasts "ShoBox"

Most likely the case and is my thinking as well. Now Espinoza can continue his passive aggressive snobby tweets from his rubber ducky bubble bath as Glaser keeps him sweating.

Espinoza is a habitual "semi-truth" teller. Sounds like they're cancelling it and just keeping the brand name around for non-ppv weekend cards.

I rather watch bad boxing than no boxing at all!

Well seeing your avi, I guess you preffer not to watch any boxing lol

Showbox are just ****ty, fun fights. Getting rid of them is a serious blow to up-and-coming fighters. I've seen some great bouts on Showbox!

Me too

These prospects are the ones trying to build in this sport and if they arent that good then fine they are still the ones who will go on to fight the superstars or blue-chip prospects. ATG, HOF, up to today, fighters have their records filled with these type of guys. Shobox at least we got to see these guys before and can get somewhat excited for the future matches.

Im a fan of the sport and in a perfect world superstar will fight superstar every fight but we dont live in one. Ill take more over less of this sport anyday

I agree with these quotes

I hope this isn't true, I really enjoy Shobox.

to be fair it usually sucks, but the odd friday night i stay in and shobox is on its always a bonus. But TBH i usually pass out on the couch before the end

[DeadLikeMe]

I'm confused about something. Why are many of the people who seem so concerned with this unsubstantiated rumor the same ones who "cancelled" their Showtime subscriptions the day after Floyd signed his contract with them?

[El-blanco]

This idiots just going to call some of their Saturday cards, "shobox," just to save face. Their approach to boxing has really backfired, this isn't headed in a good direction which sucks for us.

[The Hammer]

I said a year ago Haymon and Floyd will cause the end of boxing on Showtime.

They can't afford to overpay all of Haymon's clients, it's really that simple.
