      I know allot of you lames are hoping for showtimes downfall so you dance on Espinozas grave but I wouldnt write him off quite yet

      They've had 1 card so far and it did massive numbers and I think Showtimes just getting started

          More like people who pay a subscription fee for boxing, want to see a schedule that has some boxing on it.

          Seriously, they have 0 fights scheduled, and They aren't even publicly talking about any fights being negotiated.

          There is clearly a problem here.

              thats true but their ties to haymon are somewhat unclear after the golden boy promotions settlement. oscar got to keep khan, matthysse and santa cruz. i haven't seen it clearly stated that they are still advised by haymon. oscar is looking to get them on hbo i'm sure and i think hbo would play ball with oscar if haymon is out of the picture

                that fight was a good card. the problem is that won't be enough. people tend to forget those kinda things when there are huge gaps with no boxing. maybe they get wilder against fury later this year but you still have to have some cards to fill out the year and i just dont see how they can do it. they allowed haymon to air whatever he wanted and didnt allow other promotional companies onto their airwaves under espinoza. now that haymon took his talents to nbc/spike that strategy has really backfired. the network is in shambles bro.

                  I don't think it's a problem . Haymon just released his NBC cards last week, ****e card today , they're going to want to get some traction with those announcements before showtime releases anything . Just let it all play out

                  Call me a optimist but I'd like to believe that Showtime they are going to use their budget on big time fights because you know Haymons going to be charging gouging the price on his fighters paydays.

                  I could be wrong and Haymon could straight take a s.h..it all over Espinoza face and Give him no qaulity fights but with Mayweather still over at Showtime Indont think that is the case

                    Floyd Mayweather boosted Showtime doe

                    Espinoza totally bungled Showtime - at least Showtime has Homeland to keep me around just awhile longer. House of Lies is decent too - once they're done, all bets are off

                      Well it's definitely a problem.

                      Haymon has 1 year to make this premier boxing league work as I see it. it's doubtful if no networks pick it up, that he will go out of pocket again to buy all that air time.

                      To think he gives a crap about Espinoza or Showtime is very doubtful. I have no doubt he will milk some $ out of them still, but as of now Showtime has already lost 10 fighters to NBC/****e, it's only going to get worse.

                      Showtime has 0 moved they can make, Haymon would hang them if they ever went outside of Haymon to make fights. Showtime has a 30 million $ budget and has 0 leverage, how does that even happen?
