Talk about the under card for this fight...there's nothing good except Lomachenko on there.

One network is putting their money where their mouth is, committing time and effort to showcasing the spectacle that is their side of the fight.

The other network seems to be doing the bare contractual minimum in holding their side of the bargain.

Welcome to the new world order, where one basket of networks expand their commitment to this great sport, while the other network bleeds it dry of what little they see left in the sport.

Arum is toxic on every outlet beyond the TimeWarner basket of channels (HBO, CNN, TBS/TNT/TruTV) and Univision.

If Arum was running the promotion, you'd see some Tecate-linked commercials on Univision, and Arum's miserly add would stuff every marketing dollar back into his own pocket, sweet talk Jerry Jones into giving him $50m to host the fight, and hope beyond hope that his ****ing light show will make folks forget his **** promotional effort/fight card.
