So what was the reaction of Stephen Espinoza, Showtime Sports Executive Vice President and General Manager, to the blockbuster announcement made earlier today at the New York City press conference for NBC's new boxing series (Premiere Boxing Champions) that features the voluminous stable of powerful manager/adviser Al Haymon?

Good response.
They still have Mayweather, and will probably get Chavez Jr. as their next PPV star. NBC will build up the fighters and can bring more viewers when they go back to Showtime.

Makes sense they cant stop Haymon be silly to burn the bridge , PPV will still happen and Showtime gets the big fights with guys built up on mainstream TV , its sounds like a very good long term business plan .

Espinoza gives Peter Quillin a run for his money.

We let those fights go to network TV. My decision. Exclamation point. “@InsiderSubo: You wish you had those fights on Showtime. Period.”

this guy is good spokesperson for showtime for real. this is a great answer but it does seem very much like a recovery type response. i get the vibe that Showtime did make this investment, got bamboozled, but still broke even or did not lose that much money. like they dgaf.
