But yea show me that list for 2013 lol I think you'd have to agree the better fights were not on HBO.
    they didn't get smoked. showtime had one very good night of boxing that sold a lot of PPV and that was it.

    abner mares vs ponce de leon was another good fight from showtime.

    both HBO and showtime had good match ups in 2013. Showtime just had the biggest selling PPV fight of that year but they didn't completely outdo HBO in terms of quality match ups.

    donaire vs rigo - #1 and #2 at 122, donaire #5 p4p, unification match (WBO, WBA super, Ring)

    bradley vs marquez - two top ten p4p'ers and two highly ranked welterweights, championship fight

    adonis stevenson vs dawson - dawson the #1 ranked light heavyweight ring champ wbc champ

    mikey garcia vs salido - big step up for mikey against the tough highly ranked featherweight WBO champ salido

    golovkin giving us 4 fights (3 against top ten ranked middleweights) all exciting action packed stoppages.

    etc. etc.

    so it isn't like HBO gave us something anywhere similar to what showtime gave us last year.

      Decent fights but why are people gloating? Haymon really has lowered your expectations so far that you think fighters not facing bums is the greatest thing ever
      I hear what you are saying but anything positive in our sport deserves a degree of enthusiasm.

              actually weren't people saying that haymon fighters will only fight each other and no one else? besides the 140 division haymon doesn't have any other division with multiple top guys so what's he going to do? just have the same guys fighting each other while ignoring the guys at the top? and if you are braggin over broner-molina and thurman-guerrero you have pretty low standards.

                  Im gonna sit back and enjoy the fights. You boys go ahead and pray something fails.

                  BTW: im in Vegas at expo and this news got the sports fans buzzing
                  That's what happens when you lose people's respect "damn if you do and damn if you don't" hope some people here starts appreciating the word respect how to earn it and how to keep it. once you lost it it's gone forever

                      Exactly

                      What the hell? People are talking like Haymon is fully vindicated because he's made a few fights that aren't the usual mismatches for his big launch. This is what the minimum standard should be.
