Comments Thread For: CBS Sports/PBC Deal Revealed: Stevenson-Bika, More

[PK3434]

Haymon is really putting HBO and non-afiliated promoters on an island. I don't understand why the other side isn't being more proactive...putting boxing on TNT for example would be something top rank- golden boy - k2 - main events could collaborate on...otherwise (if Haymon is able to get a couple big tv deals that he doesn't have to pay for) its only a matter of time before the are irrelevant in the United States, at least.

I was waiting for something big and i still dont think this is it.

Never doubted it but now lets see a show.

Are we suppose to applaud Chavez Jr vs Fonfara and Stevenson vs Bika when in reality we should be getting Chavez Jr vs GGG and Stevenson vs Kovalev?

Being saying it. Promoters should concentrate on promotion. I don't see fighters signing with promotional companies in the next couple of years if this works out so promotional companies right now should start getting in good and be the promoter for these fights.

But with today's technology and everything being on social media promotional companies might become a thing of the past

Its at 130 and on CBS.

Canelo got lucky cause there is no way he gets more viewership than CBS.

Full day of boxing though so im happy.

Exactly. None of these are good fights imo. I doubt Chavez Jr. will even happen, since Arum said he would enforce his contract with Chavez. Maybe they bought out his contract...

Solid fight for Chavez jr!!!!

From my understanding Top Rank would have to get a special court injunction to stop the Chavez fight which would be difficult to get...and if they want Haymon to sign off on the Pacquaio fight, then they probably won't go for it anyway.

But the court case will proceed and Top Rank will probably win a lot of money from Chavez next year....but haymon could care less about a couple million dollars if it means making a power move against top rank and taking chavez from hbo.
