showtime has no fights scheduled

[sugarsmosley]

They do have a HUGE PPV event scheduled for May 2. Floyd Mayweather Jr vs TBA.

TBA has a shot at a upset here

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?

I think he has longer then a year. And I think investors are footing the bill.
I'm not saying Haymon & Espinoza arer friends and have each over for Thanksgiving dinner but think their business associates that are working together for their own gain.


your kind if proving my point, he's going to have 30 mil to make qaulity fights( probably stack the 2nd half of the year) not the rubbish that was force fed us last year. Haymons not going to leave 30 mil on the table unused . I think fights will be made and there going to be really good Id rather have 6-12 good stacked cards then 15-25 garbage ones.

Just give it some time. We"ll see soon enough.

wow it looks like they are completely out of the picture now that haymon stuck it to them. it really looks like espinoza should be fired. anybody know if they will even have anything halfway decent on the horizon?

Don't worry about Showtime. It still has Floyd Mayweather for two more fights. Also, there are plenty of up-and-coming boxers and those that are not signed to Haymon or Top Rank that they can feature. Rigondeaux is one that immediately comes to mind. Some of the foreign fighters are also potential candidates for fights on Showtime. In addition, you have the fighters who are signed to Jay Z's new company.

Showtime already featured one fight this year that scored higher ratings than any fight on HBO in 2013. Showtime will have a great year.

Don't count on it. Also, if Mayweather does fight TBA on May 2 on PPV and Alvarez fights James Kirkland or anyone else on the same date on HBO, there will be more people who will pay to watch Mayweather fight TBA than there will be who watch Alvarez for free on HBO.

Haymon's big names wont be fighting on NBC Sports Net or ****e TV. I think they'll keep them on Showtime and NBC. They only have 4 NBC cards and 2 of them are already set up , so I think we'll still get some cards on Showtime hopefully not mismatches.

lol do you actually believe that dude? I mean really believe that.

If they both were free, I'd watch Mayweather, no doubt. But Canelo vs. Kirkland (FREE) against Mayweather/Cotto ($75), no question in my mind I'm going with the Canelo fight.

Not to mention I am so pissed at Floyd right now I can't even speak. Even Stephen A. Smith said he's boycotting Floyd's fight till Pac gets made. I am in the same boat and I bet you a lot of other folks are too right about now.

Just as an aside, I'm giving SHO until the end of Floyd's contract. If the schedule is still as weak as it currently is, you can bet I'm unsubscribing.

That sure doesn't help the subscribers since Floyd only fights on PPV.

[El-blanco]

That's unfortunate, they put on a high quality broadcast. They've been in the game a long time it would be kinda ****ed up if they're done, lots of history there.

All the focus is likely on Mayweather vs Pacquiao right now, eventually I think they will start to announce fights. Haymon Roster is DEEP, well over 100 fighters so it is plenty to go around for ALL NETWORKS!
