They need to just have it on showtime. Pac doesn't even have an HBO contract

I thought it was 300M contract?

How long did it take for both networks to agree to terms for the Lewis-Tyson fight?

And didn Pac fight on Showtime against Mosley? Was that just a one-fight contract?

Once they get over this prepare for the Tectate-Corona negotiations, those will stall too. After that the hot dog vendors will take their turn I guess. FFS don't mess this up now!

Whats there to debate? HBO had 14 of the top 15 most watched boxing fights last year and they can put on Cotto vs Canelo on May 2nd

SHO better not **** this up
