Comments: CBS/showtime lost $16M on Floyd v Maidana

[The Ninth Layer]

I'd be more worried about Espinoza green lighting all these crappy Haymon cards again next year. That dude is in Haymons pocket and we are getting mismatch after mismatch. At least we get Khan Alexander soon, that's a half decent fight.
Espinoza gotta go..time to stand up and turn down these crap fight for the so called superstar fighters.

Realistically there might not even be a next year with Haymon and Showtime. By all accounts Al Haymon is either taking his fighters over to NBC network television or starting up his own subscription-based service a la BoxNation. Or maybe a combination of both. I think Showtime is going to be left out in the cold once that happens.

"When you have the biggest ***** in boxing fighting C level fighters for 20m+, he's going to keep on doing it."

I was agreeing with you

So you agree with my point of view of Floyd. Awesome!

That would be something ha...he gives Haymon free run of his network, Haymon puts on non competitive fights all year long, then takes all his guys to NBC..lol, what a slap in the face.

Al Haymon would then bankrupt all his fighters. Destroying bridges even with rivals and past business partners is not good business. His fighters would be limited to fighting who? bums and prospects. He rarely gets them to fight each other.

Oscar has the right ideal. For the good of the sport, opening up communication channels with more parties gives you options and more fights and possibilities.

Try and spin it .....says the guy that is doing it. That means you're being a hypocrite. Floyd can do it but not Pac.

His fighters are already fighting bums and prospects, if and when they fight at all. So not much would change, I think. Showtime has one fight announced for next year that I know of (Wilder-Stiverne) and it could be that Haymon continues to stick his fighters with them... but again all rumors suggest he is angling for something bigger, which is why his fighters have not been active in the tail end of 2014 (or when they've been active it's been against chumps).

Only C-level fighters either has fought are Rios and Algeri and both belong to Pac. Rios is maybe a B- but ill say C

You're just a TBE fan. Bhop is an ATG, "Pacman is brave for taking on Rios after a devastating KO" Guess who I would believe? Tyson said the same thing. Keep on fooling yourself.
