Comments Thread For: HBO Tops Showtime In Ratings Battle for 4/18 Shows

[Fetta]

Damn HBO stomped out Showtime. Been saying it for months now. Anyone who thought Haymon's PBC move would hurt HBO is just wrong. HBO has had nothing but strong ratings since PBC. HBO is still the king in Boxing. Meanwhile Showtime is the one that is getting hurt by Haymon's power move with PBC because all those fighters who last year fought on Showtime are now fighting on Network TV. HBO cut Haymon off years ago and has seen no dip in ratings and they aren't losing millions each show like Haymon is on PBC. Chavez was a major flop in the ring and with the ratings for Showtime.

It was a good night of boxing. you should try to watch all boxing and not be a network fanboy

Someone please explain why does Espinoza still have a job??????

Cause showtime sports is more than boxing

Every fighter seemingly enticed by Haymon to join him is under the pretense that they're going to earn big money like Floyd. His fighters are acting like superstars when they haven't seen anything yet.

Well Chavez Jr. did get big money...that's about all he got though.

I DVRD and watched both fights. But I watched HBO live because they had the better card.

I cancelled SHO after the Salka card last year. Nothing but hot garbage on that network.

He will be fired soon. He sold his soul to Haymon and got screwed overpaying for all those terrible fights last year thinking he was going to get better fights with those fighters In 2015. Only to get back stabbed with Haymon taking those fighters to Network TV lol

Including what? Inside the NFL is out of season, and there other programs are talks shows (Jim Rome) or documentaries (60 minutes). Who needs Espinoza for those?

He obviously knows what hes doing. If Showtime wants to fire him then fire him. I dont care.

I made the mistake of posting in a network fanboy thread.

What makes it obvious that he knows what he is doing? Weak ratings and a poor fight schedule?

Sounds like you made a half a$$ed comment and are backing away from it.
