Moonves to Espinoza - No Haymon unless Mayweather/Pacquiao

[AgainstTheRopes]

Golden Boy Promotions and Gary Shaw/Roc Nation.

Both are small stables. Canelo and Ward are the only two notable star fighters and both are exclusive to HBO

Why would anyone believe anything that says, "there are reports that"...who and what reports is he talking about. Source please

[thiefery]

Damn, so the whole HBO/SHO standstill on the split PPV and rebroadcast negotiation has been agreed to for sometime? I was under the impression that it was the reason why Floyd couldn't agree publicly.

If this is true and either Floyd or Al are holding this thing up, wow.. sad. Even over a hundred million to them isn't enough?

Les can **** my wife if he gets this done.

From the Hausser Report, 3/4 down, says he's hearing reports that Moonves is putting a hold on any further Haymon fights unless Mayweather/Pacquiao is made and that's why Showtime programming has nothing at the moment.

nice try, but another fail. more anonymous reports, lol.

The schedule is clear, because the fights haven't been scheduled just yet and Haymon moved two of the shows that could've been on Showtime to NBC (Guerrero-Thurman, Garcia-Peterson).

Brook-Dan will likely be on Showtime in March, Chavez-Fonfara is on the docket for April, Mayweather has his PPV in May, Quillin-Jacobs (or Quillin-Lee) is going to end up somewhere before June, Stevenson will likely have a stay busy fight before April, Andrade-Charlo is going to end up on some show, and Wilder is likely to be back on Showtime April/May. Maidana is likely going to fight before June, in addition to a host of other fights.

The lead times on fights are basically down two near two months, for final announcement, so February may end up with some ShoBox cards, with that being about it. March, April, and May already have tentative cards, with things filling out as they come.

How much were they over-spending for the average-to-poor ratings Haymon's fighters brought in most of last year?

They could spend less, given other promoters some dates, and start to get their own stable.
