    Haymon Back on HBO. RIP SHOWTIME

    Khan's most recent tweet proves that Al Haymon was in fact part of the negotiations between Khanelo, and getting Khanelo signed.

    "Wow! Incredible response and fantastic support, thank you everyone, couldn't have done it without my team and Al Haymon."

    Does this now mean that Haymon fighter's are back on HBO, and if they are, is this the end of Showtime. Haymon would rather only have his fighters on one sole Premium Cable channel, as it means that he can have a more stable viewership base, and means that boxing fans only have to pay for 1 premium network?

      Have you seen Showtime's lineup?

      He gave Khan up as a B-Side to a MW and Dominic Wade.

          Silly. Obviously that's not the case. That said, one thing I've noticed about lawsuits is that fights between rival promoters/networks often come out of them. I'm thinking back to the GBP/TR beef over Pacquiao that culminated in Oscar fighting Manny. Manny and Floyd -- a few months after it was settled Sam Watson said the fight was happening...almost a year before it took place. And now this. As a fan, I'm not complaining.

              What about Mayweather vs Pacquiao? What came from that?? Nothing. It simply makes financial sense for both sides and then again, PBC and Haymon had to sacrifice Khan to Canelo's catch weight demands in order to proceed with the fight. You're acting as if this is an entire card being broadcasted under the PBC brand . If anything this has more to do with GBP and PBC working together than HBO itself.

                Why would it mean that? He's got so many fighters to spread around..the good news is we may get Jacobs-GGG and the like....
