Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. vs. Reyes Likely in El Paso, on Showtime

[Scipio2009]

So this is what showtime has become, a wasteland for grotesque mismatches like wilders next one, or JCC jr's own comedy hour. It should be called blowtime not only because weird al haymon puts **** on the network but because ezpinosa must be blowing some of the execs to keep his job.

Stiverne-Wilder, Gonzalez-Russell Jr, and Chavez Jr-Fonfara weren't mismatches. Even Wilder-Molina isn't a bad fight; Junior, coming off of a loss, was never expected to be thrown in with a killer his first fight back anyway.

HBO vs Showtime (looking solely at premium channel boxing), what network actually feature grotesque mismatches? Not going to go through the legwork but, outside of probably Matthyesse-Provodnikov, every single other HBO Championship Boxing card likely featured the favorite as north of [-500]

Only difference is that HBO is trying to sell their mismatches as even-stevens fights to a gullible boxing public.

You are such a Haymon fanboy that it isn't funny anymore. Does he pay you for this because you do it so often that you really do deserve some money for it. It can't be easy trying to defend Chavez Jr. at the best of times but after the last fight it's downright laughable.

Uh oh, this is the same place where Chavez dipped out of town before they could do a post fight drug test against Andy Lee.

Do the writers on this website even proofread their articles before they submit them? Honestly, Wilder-Molina is a complete joke of a fight. Chavez Jr. is making a man who has spent his career at middleweight move up in weight to fight him. This clown has lost every knowledgeable boxing fan's respect a long time ago.

Curious whether this fight card will even match the limited viewer ratings they had for the Fonfara fight.

Maybe they'll put some money into the undercard to prop it up.

Golvkin, according to some sportsbooks was a 100:1 favorite for the Monroe fight, 40:1 favorite for the Murray fight, 35:1 favorite for the Rubio fight, and a 'competitive' TEN TO ONE favorite for the Geale fight, likely the closest that the odds have ever been for a Golovkin fight.

you know that bit about glass houses.

Haymon is doing something that boxing (in the US anyway) has needed done for a while now. hate if you want.
