            The Fonfara fight was a huge waste of money for Showtime. Didn't even know it was on PPV. Who would have paid that crap? Probably Canadians, as it was held there.

              Showtime if Mayweather doesn't fight Pacquaio.Ponying up a 200 mil guarantee and them not fighting would be the mother of all Bad business moves.For Floyd tho he's laughing all the way to the bank.

                  If you ask me, it's guys like BHOP and Canelo going back to HBO that's the bad moves. HBO has no loyalty and they've shown that. Now Oscar is running back to them begging to be let back in. That's a failed business move.
                  Oscar's going back to HBO is the most sensible business move/thing to do else hell be committing business suicide if hell continue with showtime with al haymon lynch mob.

                    Team Pac walking away from fight.

                    Its already haunting them.

                    I know the sarcastic jokes are coming but i truly see this as one of the most horrible business moves of recent memory. It was there.
