    When was the last time any major fight was placed at showtime. But no, i'm sure Showtime is happy with al.

    Al is a parasite. He is too much of a chicken to make his own company and back it up with his money. He uses the money of everyone else. Suck dry HBO, left Showtime without talent, and is now burning through the investors money.

    What do people see in this guy anyways? He gets in the way of good matches, robs people blind, and is afraid to be his own man with all his lurking in the shadows, using other ppl's money, and violating the Ali act. This guy is a parasite!

        It's sad if that is all you can answer. If PBC had sponsors the news would be all over NSB.

        What was all over NSB however was how Al robbed everyone at HBO, stabbed GBP in the back, left showtime without talent, gets in the way of fights and tons of more things that you would be aware of if you actually kept up to date with your boxing knowledge.

              The details on why herschman is no longer president are still unclear. Haymon is still employed because he gets his fighters tons of money for mismatches. Thats no good to me as a boxing fan.

                Al didnt rob anyone at HBO. GBP had a coked out leader and he neede to go. I would have done the same. Showtime seem to be happy with the deal. Saves them money and they still get to bid on fights. Gets in the way of fights like what fights? Garcia/Crawford, Ward/GGG or GGG/Cotto/Canelo or Adonis/Kov which is shown to be both, which do you mean. Please tell me with you huge boxing knowledge

                  The fact that you would have done the same just speaks to your level of integrity as a person. Robbing is never good. Showtime was happy with the Mayweather deal, nothing else.

                  Kovalev vs the Pimp was all but signed until the pimp ran to Haymon protective services.

                  GGG was Quillen's mandatory and Al had him dump the belt(in one of the most cowardly acts in boxing).

                    Why do you care what an individual fight yields for a fighter? HBO gives fighters money for mismatches as well. Does that make you not watch HBO?

                    Herschman resigned abruptly. Why do you think he would if HBO is doing so well?

                    The most recent HBO fight failed to meet expectations. Do you think it could be that?

                      If you read the article by Rick Reeno, Herschman failed to get the deal signed by Adonis and Kov. Adonios then signed a network deal with SHowtime.

                      Wouldn't that be Herschman's fault for not getting the deal signed?
