    PBC took Showtime's fighters and showcases them against easier competition for higher pay so Sho just can't compete.

    HBO is looking the best atm and keeping boxing alive.

            Espinoza currently makes a living trolling on twitter. He's literally got nothing better to do. That parody account of him is most likely his.

                Totally agree.. Wish they would snag Povetkin, the cruiserweights, all the Australian fights like mundine, Browne, the UK cards, etc..

                  They have a card this weekend. Haymon guys.

                  Also, heard Provo is going to Showtime for a 3 fight deal. If so, he may bring his Banner/Star buddies like Algieri, Willie Monroe, Petrov and John Thompson.
