anybody that disagrees that promotion on pbc/showtime/hbo wouldnt help the numbers is a complete idiot..

hbo has just proven that with a small magnitute fight they cant do number..dont believe me? look no futher than mr. 97k

WORK TOGETHER AND CONTINUE TO DO IT..

[tiliheels]

yvon is right..how in the world is kathy coming up with 300k when her supports are calling that a stretch..
hbo would likely get free commercials and promo on pbc if they workd with showtime..taht means 6 million ppl possibly see your stuff! plaster it all over thruman porter

He's right. ....

[HanzGruber]

An the HBO clowns were acting like they wanted no part of Kov lol

[tiliheels]

He's right. ....

POOL YOUR RESOURCES..HBO CANT DO THOSE NUMBERS ALONE..they couldnt even do 1 million with cotto and canelo! pac is about to do is his worst numbers ever likely in a p4p fight...duva is bad for boxing..a coke head type

a smart man once says...a scared man doesnt even negotiate...A la billy joe suanders...

im certain scared men dont start in ring confrontations

I would love it if there was always one unbiased witness present to conversations and negotiations so when this kind of thing happens, they could come out and say team Stevenson is full of sht!! Or team Kovalev is full of sht! And shut up one side for talking a bunch of bullsht!

The fights not a big enough PPV event for both networks...it's just not.......look at the only 2 fights that had shared PPV and that's Lewis vs Tyson and mayweather vs pacquaio....that's it and you can plaster it all over the porter Thurman fight it won't add any more numbers to it than it already will have ....it's the same boxing audience.....the problem is the networks just won't work together and that's not gonna change till the fighters and there managers make it a fight by fight basis and they make a stipulation that they fight on a channel who gives the best rewards....trapping a fighter to an exclusive network ..HBO are guilty of this and so is PBC and showtime....they won't share the pie and if they don't get all the pie then then there's no pie made.... It's no different all through the divisions rival networks mean no unifications ..

[tiliheels]

so basically if hbo guarantees the 7.5 million WE HAVE A FIGHT...they wont!
i dont have a problem with stevenson and his ppl not wanting to get burned by hbo..
i want htis fight bad, but for the betterment of boxing i want these networks together RIGHT NOW!
REMINDS ME OF WHEN UFC WOULDNT WORK TO MAKE THAT LARGE HW FIGHT BETWEEN THOSE 2 GUYS WHO WERE RUNNING HW IN MMA, bc they wanted all the responsibilities and self promotion during the fight
