HBO you get the pay per view vs Showtime, now if your fighter wins you get the delayed broadcast rights, have faith in Manny he will win and if he does not you still got your cut of pay per view. Sometimes you got to gamble. HBO do not become the identity that ruined this fight.

The truth is HBO knows Manny will lose and this time will not make the deal on re-broadcast rights they made for Lewis Tyson. Its not that hard to see or even worth discussing. Manny's business partners at HBO....KNOW HE WILL LOSE.

HBO, last time with Lewis vs Tyson you had the favorite fighter to win and Showtime agreed to whoever won would get the delayed rights, now it is your turn to step up to the plate and agree to the same terms.

Unfortunately business isn't about being fair. Business is about business.

The world is ran by greedy men.

Still, I can't see this being the thing that stops the fight from happening. They'll sort it out. It's what negotiations are about, you have to expect a bit of give and take.

Thnx floyd for another roadblock. "Showtime gets the fight cuz showtime is number 1"

I just want one of these fanatical f.uckt@rds to explain to me how HBO, Pac's side of the negotiations. The lone party in the negotiations that legally aren't contractually tied to the event. Not wanting to agree to terms they agreed to in the only other joint telecast they've done with SHO. Solely because they know its a slim chance their guy will win. Please explain to me how this is interpreted as a Floyd roadblock.

They know, like majority of the boxing public knows, how this fight will play out.

This fight can't come fast enough.

Yeah they know Manny will systematically dismantle this show boating scared clown and send him into retirement so he can blow all of his winnings on new buggatis and ********. Your right it cant come fast enough, hopefully it will shut you duckweather fans up once and for all. Its going to feel so great after the fight to come on here and rub it Into your guys faces, that's assuming Floyd agrees to fight like Manny has for days already

Damn shame smh

Something tells me that Floyd and his team have found a creative way to avoid the fight and putting blame on the networks. Espinoza is probably in on it too. Showtime stands to make more money from a solo Floyd/Cotto fight than to share profits with HBO for a showdown with Pacquiao. Haymon and Floyd instructed Espinoza to not give an inch ultimately killing the fight. Floyd saves face and showtime can blame hbo.

[Ringlife]

Both networks should be allowed to play the replay of this ppv fight, if not than one of the networks should get more money than the other.

Lol, stop it. That's ****ing ******. U don't waste time and money traveling around the country to try to sink a fight wtf do u think these men are? Moonves and Espinoza? U think they are playing around for the fun of it? U understand how much money they have tied up this? How much of their reputation is on the line in the business world? U think their lives revolve around this one fight? I really think u guys need to take a step back sometimes. This has very little to do with Floyd and everything to do with competition.
